Region Collections¶

The region Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the countries within your library. The collection aims to be inclusive, with all 230 countries incorporated into 39 countries or collections of countries. Some care has been taken to ensure all countries are included, and the groupings won't fit well with everyone's collections. Western and Southern Europe, Oceania, and North America could be useful groupings for those libraries with more of an Asian focus, for instance. Please see the comments in the yml below where a decision point might be seen as controversial. You are welcome to edit this to fit your own audience's needs.

This file has a Movie Library Counterpart.

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.
Shared Separator Variables are additional variables available since this Default contains a Separator.
