# Franchise Collections
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `franchise` Default Metadata File is used to create collections based on popular TV Show franchises, and can be used as a replacement to the TMDb Collections that Plex creates out-of-the-box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike most Default Metadata Files, Franchise works by placing collections inline with the main library items if your library allows it. For example, the "Pretty Little Liars" franchise collection will appear next to the "Pretty Little Liars" show in your library so that you have easy access to the other shows in the franchise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**This file has a Movie Library [Counterpart](../movie/franchise.md).**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements & Recommendations
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported Library Types: Show
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Collections
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Collection | Key | Description |
|
|
|
|:------------------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|
| `<<Collection Name>>`<br>**Example:** `Pretty Little Liars` | `<<Starting TMDb Show ID>>`<br>**Example:** `31917` | Collection of Shows specified for this Collection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
|
|
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
libraries:
|
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
|
- pmm: franchise
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**[Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables.md) are NOT available to this default file.**
