# Letterboxd Charts Collections

The `letterboxd` Default Collection File is used to create collections based on lists from Letterboxd.

![](../images/letterboxd.png)

## Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie

Recommendations: Users might consider increasing the value set for the template variable `cache_builders:` as several lists are in excess of 1,000 items and are not updated daily. 

The collections `IMDb Top 250 (Letterboxd)`, `Oscar Best Picture Winners`, and `Cannes Palme d'Or Winners` are turned off by default as these collections already exist within other defaults. Refer to the examples below for turning the collections on within the Letterboxd defaults using template variables.

## Config

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

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: letterboxd
```

## 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 will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

    * **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.

    * **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the Kometa Defaults.

        1. Each default collection has a `key` [see here]() that you must replace 
        `<<key>>` with when using this template variable.  These keys are found in the table at the top of this page.

    1.  Create the "IMDb Top 250 (Letterboxd)" collection
    2.  Create the "Oscar Best Picture Winners" collection

    4.  Pin the "Letterboxd Top 250" collection to the Recommended tab of the library
    5.  Pin the "Letterboxd Top 250" collection to the home screen of the server owner
    6.  Pin the "Letterboxd Top 250" collection to the home screen of other users of the server
    7.  Set the value for `cache_builders` for all collections (except those explicity defined with `cache_builders_<<key>>`) to 7 days
    8.  Set the value for `cache_builders` for the "1,001 To See Before You Die" collection to 30 days
    9.  Set the value for `cache_builders` for the "Edgar Wright's 1,000 Favorites" collection to 30 days
