# Actor Collections
|
|
|
|
The `actor` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the most popular actors/actresses in your library.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements & Recommendations
|
|
|
|
Supported Library Types: Movie, Show
|
|
|
|
## Collections Section 140
|
|
|
|
| Collection | Key | Description |
|
|
|:------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `Actors Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. |
|
|
| `<<actor_name>>`<br>**Example:** `Frank Welker` | `<<actor_name>>`<br>**Example:** `Frank Welker` | Collection of Movies/Shows the actor is top billing in. |
|
|
|
|
```{include} ../people.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: actor
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: actor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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 `template_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](../collection_variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
|
|
|
|
This file contains a [Separator](../separators) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well.
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description & Values |
|
|
|:------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|
|

|
|
| `limit_<<key>>`<sup>1</sup> | **Description:** Changes the Builder Limit of the specified key's collection.<br>**Default:** `limit`<br>**Values:** Number Greater then 0 |
|
|
| `sort_by` | **Description:** Changes the Smart Filter Sort for all collections in a Defaults file.<br>**Default:** `release.desc`<br>**Values:** [Any `smart_filter` Sort Option](../../metadata/builders/smart.md#sort-options) |
|
|
| `sort_by_<<key>>`<sup>1</sup> | **Description:** Changes the Smart Filter Sort of the specified key's collection.<br>**Default:** `sort_by`<br>**Values:** [Any `smart_filter` Sort Option](../../metadata/builders/smart.md#sort-options) |
|
|
| `data` | **Description:** Replaces the `data` dynamic collection value.<table class="clearTable"><tr><th>Attribute</th><th>Description & Values</th></tr><tr><td><code>depth</code></td><td>Controls the depth within the casting credits to search for common actors<hr><strong>Default:</strong> 5<hr><strong>Values:</strong> Number greater than 0</td></tr><tr><td><code>limit</code></td><td>Controls the maximum number of collections to create<hr><strong>Default:</strong> 25<hr><strong>Values:</strong> Number greater than 0</td></tr></table> |
|

|
|
|
|
The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: actor
|
|
template_variables:
|
|
data:
|
|
depth: 10
|
|
limit: 20
|
|
style: diivoy
|
|
sort_by: title.asc
|
|
use_separator: false
|
|
