This file needs to run last under collection_files.
All other normal collections must use collection_mode: hide_items.

Collection¶

Collection	Description
`Collectionless`	Collectionless collection to help Show/Hide Movies/Shows properly in your library.

Config¶

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    template_variables:
      collection_mode: hide_items
    collection_files:
      - default: collectionless
  TV Shows:
    template_variables:
      collection_mode: hide_items
    collection_files:
      - default: collectionless

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.
