# Common Sense Media Content Rating Collections

The `content_rating_cs` Default Collection 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](../../config/operations.md#mass-content-rating-update) with either `mdb_commonsense` or `mdb_commonsense0` to update Plex to the Common Sense Rating.

| `Ratings Collections`                                             | `separator`                      | [Separator Collection](../separators.md) to denote the Section of Collections.          |
| `<<Content Rating>> Movies/Shows`<br>**Example:** `Age 5+ Movies` | `<<Number>>`<br>**Example:** `5` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Content Rating.                               |
| `Not Rated Movies/Shows`                                          | `other`                          | Collection of Movies/Shows that are Unrated, Not Rated or any other uncommon Ratings.   |

## Config

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

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: content_rating_cs
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: content_rating_cs
```

## 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.

    ### Example Template Variable Amendments

    The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

    ???+ tip

        Anywhere you see this icon:
      
        > :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus:
      
        That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.

    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        collection_files:
          - pmm: content_rating_cs
            template_variables:
              sep_style: blue #(1)!
              use_other: false #(2)!
              append_addons:
                German 18: #(3)!
                  - "de/18" #(4)!
              sort_by: title.asc
    ```


    1.  Use the blue [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
    2.  Do not create a "Not Rated Movies/Shows" collection
    3.  Defines a collection which will be called "German 18", this does not need to already exist in your library
    4.  Adds the "de/18" content rating to the "German 18" addon list, "de/18" must exist in your library if the "German 18" content rating does not

## Default Values
