# Genre Collections
|
|
|
|
The `genre` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the genres available in your library.
|
|
|
|
This file also merges similarly named genres (such as "Sci-Fi", "SciFi" and "Sci-Fi & Fantasy") into one ("Science Fiction")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements & Recommendations
|
|
|
|
Supported Library Types: Movie, Show
|
|
|
|
## Collections Section 06
|
|
|
|
| Collection | Key | Description |
|
|
|:---------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `Genre Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. |
|
|
| `<<Genre>> Movies/Shows`<br>**Example:** `Action Movies` | `<<Number>>`<br>**Example:** `5` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Genre. |
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: genre
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: genre
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Template Variables
|
|
|
|
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.
|
|
|
|
Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
|
|
|
|
All [Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
|
|
|
|
This file contains a [Separator](../separators) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well.
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description & Values |
|
|
|:------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|
|
