# Separators Default Metadata Files
|
|
|
|
Separators are a special form of collections which are used similar to index cards in a library, they help to "split up" collections by identifying categories (such as "Studio Collections" and "Holiday Collections").
|
|
|
|
These are empty collections which do not contain any movies/shows themselves, but highlight that the collections which follow it are of a certain category.
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of a separator, which can be seen surrounded by a red square.
|
|
|

## Shared Separator 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.
|

|
**[Shared Variables](collection_variables) are NOT available to separator collections in any default file.**

## Use Separators
|
|
|
|
Separators are enabled by default, but can be disabled/enabled per-file and per-library.
|
|
|
|
An example of disabling separators at the library-level cam be seen here
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
template_variables:
|
|
use_separator: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And at the file-level
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: studio
|
|
template_variables:
|
|
use_separator: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Separator Styles
|
|
|
|
Multiple styles are available for Separators, to match Plex's "categories" feature.
|
|
|
|
The available styles available are:
|
|
|
|
| Style | Value |
|
|
|:---------|:--------:|
|
|
| Original | `orig` |
|
|
| Blue | `blue` |
|
|
| Brown | `stb` |
|
|
| Gray | `gray` |
|
|
| Green | `green` |
|
|
| Purple | `purple` |
|
|
| Red | `red` |
|
|
|
|
This image shows an example separator in each of the above styles
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The style of separator can be defined per-file and per-library.
