Network Collections

The network Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the networks available in your library.

Important

This default requires that the library be set to use the "Plex TV Series" scanner and the "Plex Series" agent.

The error in this case will be Plex Error: plex_search attribute: network not supported.

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 will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

Variable Lists (click to expand)

• File-Specific Template Variables are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.

• Shared Template Variables are additional variables shared across the Kometa Defaults.
