Genre Collections

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

This file also merges similarly named genres (such as "Sci-Fi", "SciFi" and "Sci-Fi & Fantasy") into one ("Science Fiction")

This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.

Collections Section 06

Collection Key Description
Genre Collections separator Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
<<Genre>> Movies/Shows
Example: Action Movies		 <<Number>>
Example: 5		 Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Genre.

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.
