# Resolution Collections

The `resolution` Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the resolutions available in
your library.

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

## Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

## Collections Section 120

| Collection                                                   | Key                                 | Description                                                                    |
|:-------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Resolution Collections`                                     | `separator`                         | [Separator Collection](../separators.md) to denote the Section of Collections. |
| `<<Resolution>> Movies/Shows`<br>**Example:** `1080p Movies` | `<<Number>>`<br>**Example:** `1080` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Resolution.                          |

### Standards Style

Below is a screenshot of the alternative Standards (`standards`) style which can be set via the `style` template 
variable.

Standards Style takes the base resolutions ("4K" and "720p") and turns them into the commonly-known standards name 
("Ultra HD" and "HD Ready")

## Config

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

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: resolution
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - default: resolution
```

## 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.

??? abstract "Variable Lists (click to expand)"

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

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

    * **Shared Separator Variables** are additional variables available since this Default contains a 
    [Separator](../separators.md).

        1. Each default collection has a `key` that when calling to effect a specific collection you must replace 
        `<<key>>` with when calling.

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

    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        collection_files:
          - default: resolution
            template_variables:
              sep_style: green #(1)!
              exclude:
                - sd #(2)!
              sort_by: title.asc
    ```

    1.  Use the green [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
    2.  Do not use the "sd" resolution as part of the "480p Movies/Shows" Collections

## Default Values

These are lists provided for reference to show what values will be in use if you do no customization.  **These do not 
show how to change a name or a list.**

If you want to customize these values, use the methods described above.
