Resolution Collections

The resolution Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the resolutions available in your library.

Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

Collections Section 120

Collection	Key	Description
`Resolution Collections`	`separator`	Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
`<<Resolution>> Movies/Shows` Example: `1080p Movies`	`<<Number>>` Example: `1080`	Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Resolution.

Standards Style

Below is a screenshot of the alternative Standards (standards) style which can be set via the style template variable.

Standards Style takes the base resolutions ("4K" and "720p") and turns them into the commonly-known standards name ("Ultra HD" and "HD Ready")

Config

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution

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 are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

This file contains a Separator so all Shared Separator Variables are available as well.
