Basic Charts Default Metadata File

The basic Metadata File is used to create collections based on recently released media in your library.

This file works with Movie and TV Libraries.

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

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

Collections

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.

limit_<<key>> Description: Changes the Smart Filter Limit of the specified key's Collection.
