Hello, me again, sorry!
I’ve tried to adapt these collection files and make them into dynamic collection files so
I can use them across multiple libraries instead of making a new file for each library.
My question is, have I made a pig’s ear of these? Seem to get a lot of errors through so I obviously haven’t understood how they need to be set up.
Cheers folks!

Those are not valid dynamic collection definitions. Also, library_name appears to be something you've [or AI?] made up.

What's the goal with this? I don't understand why you see this as necessary to use a common collection definition across libraries.

Yeah I put together a document and thought I’d cross check it with AI when it wasn’t working.
Before making these I had collections for recently released (newer) movies and recently added movies to the server. I was using a single yaml file for each library.
I was just looking to condense it into one yaml I could use across my libraries to keep my files more tidy.

There's no reason within Kometa why you would have to do this. The defaults are all common YAML files used across libraries. The very same "IMDB Popular" definition gets run on all movie libraries without problems, for example.
What's the specific problem you are trying to solve that required a separate YAML file in each library for the same collections?
What is it about this:
collections:
Recently Released:
smart_filter:
sort_by: added.desc
all:
added: 92 # added in the last 92 days
release: 365 # released within the last year
limit: 250
visible_library: true
visible_home: true
visible_shared: true
collection_order: release.desc
sync_mode: sync
delete_not_scheduled: false
limit: 250
sort_title: "!000_Recently Released"
summary: "New releases added in the past three months. Sorted by Date Added."
That doesn't meet your requirements? Just the library name in the title of the collection?

Ahh sorry. Yeah just to get library name in the collection title. “New Releases In Movies” / “New Released In Movies - 4K” etc.

Kometa doesn't have "library name" as a variable for this purpose, so far as I know. Doesn't the UI display this already?
celest dagger
I’ll need to check when I get home from work. I’ve always done a single file per library for some odd reason.
royal radish
Looks like for collections you create yourself the "in Library Name" doesn't appear on the home screen
But it does for Plex' own:
celest dagger
Ahh ok. Wonder if it’s just worth me doing it via plex itself then.
