# Year Collections
|
|
|
|
The `year` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the years available in your library, sorted by critic rating to create a "best of <year>"
|
|
|
|
**This file works with Movie and TV Libraries.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Collections Section 13
|
|
|
|
| Collection | Key | Description |
|
|
|:--------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `Year Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. |
|
|
| `Best of <<Year>>`<br>**Example:** `Best of 2022` | `<<Year>>`<br>**Example:** `2022` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Year. |
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: year
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- pmm: year
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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 `templates_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](../variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
