# UK Content Rating Default Metadata File

The `- pmm: content_rating_uk` 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 standard ratings (such as PG-13) to the respective UK rating system (such as 12)

Example Collections Created:

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_uk
```


## 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: content_rating_uk
        template_variables:
          sort_by: title.asc
          collection_section: 21
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_other: false
          use_separator: false
          sep_style: blue
```

Dynamic Collections attributes can also be edited to tweak the setup of the collections. The YAML file which creates the `content_rating_uk` collections can be found [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/defaults/defaults/both/content_rating_uk.yml)

An example of this is; to map the "de/18" content rating to "18", the following template variable can be used:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_uk
        template_variables:
          addons:
            "18":
              - "de/18"
```
