Basic Chart Default Metadata File

The basic Metadata File is used to create collections based on recently released media in your library.

Example Collections Created:

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: basic

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.

As this file is more complex than others, a key system is used to control each collection that is created by the file. Each key refers to one chart and is used to control multiple template variables.

Below are the keys and what they refer to:

Key	Chart
released	Newly Released
episodes	New Episodes

Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file. Note that any use of key within the variable should be replaced with the key from the above table (i.e. use_episodes instead of use_key, order_released instead of order_key)

Variable	Usage	Default Value	Values
use_key	Turn the collection on/off	true	true or false
order_key	Determine collection order in its section	Alphabetical Order	Any number (i.e. 01 for order_released to put released first in the list of charts)
summary_key	Determines summary of collection		Any summary text
limit_key	Determines limit of collection	100	Any number
collection_order	Determines collection order of the collection
visible_library_key	Set visible_library for the collection	false	true or false
visible_home_key	Set visible_home for the collection	false	true or false
visible_shared_key	Set visible_shared for the collection	false	true or false
item_sonarr_tag_key	Sonarr Tag for existing items	false	Tag(s) to add to existing items
item_radarr_tag_key	Radarr Tag for existing items		Tag(s) to add to existing items
collection_section	Controls the sort order of these collections against other default collections	01	Any number
collection_mode	Controls the collection mode of these collections	default	default - Library default hide - Hide Collection hide_items- Hide Items in this Collection show_items - Show this Collection and its Items

The below is an example config.yml extract with some template_variables changed from their defaults.
