Dynamic Collection Examples

???+ example

```yaml
templates:
  genre collection: #(4)!
    smart_filter:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all:
        genre: <<value>>
dynamic_collections:
  Genres:
    type: genre #(1)!
    exclude: #(2)!
      - Talk Show
    template: genre collection #(3)!
```

1. Uses the `genre` type to create dynamic collections based on each genre found in the library.
2. Uses `exclude` to exclude the `Talk Show` genre.
3. Uses the template called `genre collection` for these collections.
4. This is the same template as the default for `genre` but the `limit` has been increased to 100 from 50.

Example:

• Create dynamic collections based on each genre found in the library (TV and Movies)
• Amend the template to increase the limit from 50 to 100
• Exclude the "Talk Show" genre
• Name the collection "Top [Genre] Movies" or "Top [Genre] Shows"

templates:
  genre collection:
    smart_filter:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all:
        genre: <<value>>
dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    exclude:
      - Talk Show
    title_format: Top <<key_name>> <<library_type>>s
    template: genre collection

Example:

• Create dynamic collections based on each content rating found in the library (TV and Movies)
• Amend the template to increase the limit from 50 to 100

templates:
  content rating collection:
    smart_filter:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all:
        content_rating: <<value>>
dynamic_collections:
  Content Ratings:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: content_rating
    template: content rating collection

Example

• Create dynamic collections based on each year found in the library (TV and Movies)
• Use the include attribute to only show collections for years "2020", "2021" and "2022"
• Name the collection "Best of [Year]"

dynamic_collections:
  Years:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: year
    include:
      - 2020
      - 2021
      - 2022
    title_format: Best of <<key_name>>

Example:

• Create a collection for each decade found in the library (TV and Movies)
• Name the collection "Top [Decade] Movies"
• Rename the 2020 collection name to "Top 2020 Movies (so far)"

dynamic_collections:
  Decades:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: decade
    title_format: Top <<key_name>> <<library_type>>s
    title_override:
      2020: Top 2020 Movies (so far)

Example:

• Create a collection for the top movies from each country found in the library
• Name the collection "Top [Country] Cinema"
• The key_name_override attribute is used here in combination with the title_format to change the collection name from "France" which would be the default title, to "Top French Cinema"

dynamic_collections:
  Countries:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: country
    title_format: Top <<key_name>> Cinema
    key_name_override:
      France: French
      Germany: German
      India: Indian

Example:

• Create a collection for each resolution found in the library
• Name the collection "[Resolution] Movies"
• Combine 480p, 576p and SD into a collection called "SD Movies"

dynamic_collections:
  Resolutions:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: resolution
    addons:
      480p:
        - 576p
        - SD
    title_override:
      480p: SD Movies
