# country Language Default Metadata File

The `- pmm: movie/country` Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the countries available in your library.

Example Collections Created:

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/country
```
## Color Style
Below is a screenshot of the alternative `color` style which can be set via template variables

## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the 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                                                                             |

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

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/country
        template_variables:
          sort_by: title.asc
          collection_section: 8
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_other: false
          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 `country` collections can be found [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/defaults/defaults/movie/country.yml)

An example of this is; to include Barbados in the collection list, the following template variable can be used:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: movie/country
        template_variables:
          include:
            - Barbados
```
