The `content_rating_de` Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library.
If you do not use the German-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the ratings in your library to the respective rating system.
| `<<Content Rating>> Movies/Shows`<br>**Example:** `BPjM Movies` | `<<Content Rating>>`<br>**Example:** `BPjM` | 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_de
TV Shows:
collection_files:
- pmm: content_rating_de
```
## Template Variable Default Values
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.
