# UK Content Rating Collections

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

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

**This file works with Movie and TV Libraries.**

## Config

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

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_uk
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_uk
```

## 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 `templates_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 Variables](../variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
