Dynamic Collection Examples

Example

templates:
  genre collection: #(4)!
    smart_filter:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all:
        genre: <<value>>
dynamic_collections:
  Genres:
    type: genre #(1)!
    exclude: #(2)!
      - Talk Show
    template: genre collection #(3)!

1. Uses the genre type to create dynamic collections based on each genre found in the library.
2. Uses exclude to exclude the Talk Show genre.
3. Uses the template called genre collection for these collections.
4. This is the same template as the default for genre but the limit has been increased to 100 from 50.

Example:

• Create dynamic collections based on each genre found in the library (TV and Movies)
• Amend the template to increase the limit from 50 to 100
• Exclude the "Talk Show" genre
• Name the collection "Top [Genre] Movies" or "Top [Genre] Shows"

templates:
  genre collection:
    smart_filter:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all:
        genre: <<value>>
dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    exclude:
      - Talk Show
    title_format: Top <<key_name>> <<library_type>>s
    template: genre collection

Example:

    type: content_rating
    template: content rating collection

Example
