Collectionless Collection

The collectionless Default Metadata File is used to create a Collectionless collection to help Show/Hide Movies/Shows properly in your library.

For this file to work it needs to run last under metadata_path and all other normal collections must use collection_mode: hide_items.

This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.
