Producer Default Metadata File

The - pmm: movie/producer Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the most popular producers in your library.

Example Collections Created:

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/producer

Rainier Style

Below is a screenshot of the alternative Rainier style which can be set via template variables

Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the producer 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.

Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file.

Variable	Usage	Default Value	Values
style	Controls the visual theme of the collections created	bw	bw - Black and white theme or rainier - Rainier theme
sort_by	Controls the sort method for the collections	release.desc	Any sort method in the Sorts Options Table
collection_section	Controls the sort order of these collections against other default collections	17	Any number
collection_mode	Controls the collection mode of these collections	default	default - Library default hide - Hide Collection hide_items- Hide Items in this Collection show_items - Show this Collection and its Items
use_separator	Controls whether a separator is created	true	true or false
sep_style	Sets the theme of the separator	orig	orig, blue, gray, green, purple, red, stb
item_radarr_tag	Radarr Tag for existing items		list of tag(s) to be applied to existing items

The below shows an example config.yml with all the template_variables set away from their defaults:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/producer
        template_variables:
          style: rainier
          sort_by: title.asc
          collection_section: 12
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_separator: false
          sep_style: purple

Dynamic Collections attributes can also be edited to tweak the setup of the collections. The YAML file which creates the producer collections can be found here

An example of this is; To amend the maximum amount of collections that are created (default is 25), the following template variable can be used:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/producer
        template_variables:
          data:
            limit: 25
