Resolution Standards Collections

The resolution_standards Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the resolutions available in your library.

This file takes the base resolutions ("4K" and "720p") and turns them into the commonly-known standards name ("Ultra HD" and "HD Ready")

To avoid duplication, this file should not be used in combination with resolution.

This file works with Movie and TV Libraries.

Collections Section 15

Collection	Key	Description
Resolution Collections	separator	Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
<<Resolution>> Movies/Shows Example: Full HD Movies	<<Number>> Example: Full HD	Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Resolution.
Other Resolution Movies/Shows	other	Collection of Movies/Shows that not a standard Resolution.

Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution_standards
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution_standards

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 templates_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 Variables are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
