The `tmdb` Default Metadata File is used to create collections based on TMDb Charts.

## Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

Recommendations: The `TMDb Airing Today` and `TMDb On The Air` Collections only work with Show Libraries

## Collections Section 020

| Collection          | Key        | Description                                          |
|:--------------------|:-----------|:-----------------------------------------------------|
| `TMDb Popular`      | `popular`  | Collection of the Most Popular Movies/Shows on TMDb. |
| `TMDb Top Rated`    | `top`      | Collection of the Top Rated Movies/Shows on TMDb.    |
| `TMDb Trending`     | `trending` | Collection of Trending Movies/Shows on TMDb.         |
| `TMDb Airing Today` | `airing`   | Collection of Shows Airing Today on TMDb.            |
| `TMDb On The Air`   | `air`      | Collection of Shows currently On The Air on TMDb.    |

## Config

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

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

## 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 is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

All [Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

| Variable                               | Description & Values                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

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:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: tmdb
        template_variables:
          use_trending: false
          limit_popular: 20
          visible_library_popular: true
          visible_home_popular: true
          visible_shared_popular: true
```
