# Genre Default Metadata File
|
|
|
|
The `genre` 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")
|
|
|
|
Example Collections Created:
|
|
|
|
![](../images/genre.png)
|
|
|
|
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: genre
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Template Variables
|
|
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file from the default settings which are provided.
|
|
|
|
Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do NOT want to use the default settings.

|
|
All [Shared Variables](../variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
