## Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

## Collections Section 020

| Collection          | Key        | Description                                          |
|:--------------------|:-----------|:-----------------------------------------------------|
| `AniList Popular`   | `popular`  | Collection of the most Popular Anime on AniList.     |
| `AniList Top Rated` | `top`      | Collection of the Top Rated Anime on AniList.        |
| `AniList Trending`  | `trending` | Collection of the Trending Anime on AniList.         |
| `AniList Season`    | `season`   | Collection of the Current Season's Anime on AniList. |

## Config

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

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

## 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.

        `<<key>>` with when calling.
