#dynamic collections smart filter

I am trying to create a unique smart filter for individual collections as part of dynamic collections. specifically I am doing this for seasonal collections. I want, for Christmas only, for the collection to include movies where christmas is in the title. And for example, maybe veterans day will include all 'war' genre movies. Here is what I tried, and it didn't work. The holiday template and all other lines I am using from the default seasonal.yml file.

dynamic_collections:
Seasonal:
type: custom
data:
# ... other seasonal data ...
title_format: <<key_name>> <<library_typeU>>s
template:
- holiday
- shared
- arr
template_variables:
emoji:
# ... other emojis ...
smart_label:
default:
sort_by: title.asc
limit: <<limit_<<key>>>>
all:
label: <<emoji_<<key>>><<key_name>> Movies
christmas:
sort_by: title.asc
limit: <<limit_<<key>>>>
all:
label: <<emoji_<<key>>><<key_name>> Movies
title.contains: "Christmas"
halloween:
sort_by: title.asc
limit: <<limit_<<key>>>>
all:
label: <<emoji_<<key>>><<key_name>> Movies
genre: "Horror"

<<smart_label>> not found in the smart_label attribute data |

Using Code Blocks

Please use code blocks when sending any code-related text (such as error messages or configuration file extracts.)

The Grave Accent key (`) is used to define code blocks and is typically found to the left of the number 1 key on a standard keyboard.

If you are posting any yaml-formatted text (such as collections), you can add yaml to your Grave Accent keys for coloured formatting. See the below sample text and output

YOU TYPE THIS

`​`​`yaml
collections:
  Documentaries:
    smart_filter:
      all:
        genre: Documentary
`​`​`

DISCORD DISPLAYS

  Documentaries:
    smart_filter:

It's hard to see what's going on there. Can you format that as code so Discord doesn't mess withe the syntax and indentation?

One thing, though. dynamic_collections are their own things and you probably can't just copy-paste from the default metadata files to that context.

it works until I add the smart_label portion at the bottom

#

then I get the error <<smart_label>> not found in the smart_label attribute data . I was hoping I could have a custom filtering per holiday

gray hill
#

That smart_label section is unlike any I've ever seen. Where are you finding that syntax?

#

That error is correct. smart_label shoudl look like this:

collections:
  Unplayed Marvel Cinematic Universe:
    trakt_list: whatever
    smart_label:
      sort_by: release.desc
      all:
        label: <<smart_label>>  # You're missing this
        unplayed: true
#

You'd probably be best off just implementing this from scratch rather than copy-pasting stuff from other files.

oh. i'll try that. I tried to copy from the holiday template in the default seasonal.yml. but maybe I did it wrong

templates:
  holiday:
    default:
      sync_mode: sync
      sync_mode_<<key>>: <<sync_mode>>
      sort_by: title.asc
      sort_by_<<key>>: <<sort_by>>
      schedule_<<key>>: <<schedule>>
      limit_<<key>>: <<limit>>
      tmdb_collection_<<key>>: <<tmdb_collection>>
      tmdb_movie_<<key>>: <<tmdb_movie>>
      imdb_list_<<key>>: <<imdb_list>>
      trakt_list_<<key>>: <<trakt_list>>
      mdblist_list_<<key>>: <<mdblist_list>>
      summary_<<key>>: <<summary_format>>
      name_<<key>>: <<name_format>>
      emoji: ""
      emoji_<<key>>: <<emoji>>
    optional:
      - schedule
      - tmdb_collection
      - tmdb_movie
      - limit
      - imdb_list
      - trakt_list
      - mdblist_list
      - summary_format
      - name_format
      - key_name
      - translation_key
      - limit
    smart_label:
      sort_by: <<sort_by_<<key>>>>
      limit: <<limit_<<key>>>>
      all:
        label: <<smart_label>>
    schedule: <<schedule_<<key>>>>
    delete_not_scheduled: true
    sync_mode: <<sync_mode_<<key>>>>
    tmdb_collection: <<tmdb_collection_<<key>>>>
    tmdb_movie: <<tmdb_movie_<<key>>>>
    imdb_list: <<imdb_list_<<key>>>>
    trakt_list: <<trakt_list_<<key>>>>
    mdblist_list: <<mdblist_list_<<key>>>>
    cache_builders: 1
    translation_key: <<translation_key>>
    key_name: <<key_name>>
    summary: <<summary_<<key>>>>
    name: <<name_<<key>>>>
    limit: <<limit_<<key>>>>
    translation_prefix: <<emoji_<<key>>>>

The defaults are a purpose-built framework. You can't just copy bits and pieces from them to use elsewhere. They have their own templates and all the other YAMLs are designed with those templates in mind, etc.

There's nothing magic in there, it's just an interwoven framework.

sounds good. Thanks
