Common Sense Media Content Rating Collections

The content_rating_cs Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library.

If you do not use the Common Sense-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the ratings in your library to the respective rating system.

Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

Recommendations: Use the Mass Content Rating Update Library Operation with either mdb_commonsense or mdb_commonsense0 to update Plex to the Common Sense Rating.

Collections Section 110

Collection	Key	Description
`Ratings Collections`	`separator`	Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.

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

      - pmm: content_rating_cs
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:

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 are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

This file contains a Separator so all Shared Separator Variables are available as well.

        template_variables:
          use_separator: false

          use_other: false
          append_addons:
            German 18:  # this doesn't have to exist already
              - de/18 # adds "de/18" to the existing "18" addon list
          sort_by: title.asc
