Overlays
These files apply overlays and can generally be used on both Movie and Show library-types, and often works at the season and episode-level too.
In the scenario where there is missing data such as age ratings for episodes, then generally the highest-level data
available will be applied at the lower level (i.e. a Show's Common Sense age rating would apply to all episodes).
These overlays are applied by calling the below paths into the overlay_files
section of your config.yml
