Year Language Default Metadata File

The year 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 "

Example Collections Created:

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: year

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.

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