Anime Studio Collections

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

This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.

Collections Section 07

Collection	Key	Description
Studio Collections	separator	Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
<<Studio>> Example: Blumhouse Productions	<<Studio>> Example: Blumhouse Productions	Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Studio.

Config

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

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

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

This file contains a Separator so all Shared Separator Variables are available as well.
