Regional Variants

Some logic is applied for specific regions to prevent collections appearing which do not exist in said region.

Region Key Description
any besides GB all4, britbox, hayu, now These collections will not be created if the region is not GB as these streaming services are UK-focused
any besides CA crave These collections will not be created if the region is not CA as these streaming services are Canada-focused
CA max, showtime These collections will not be created if the region is CA as these streaming services are part of the Crave streaming service in Canada

Config

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: streaming
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - default: streaming

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.

??? abstract "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](../separators.md).

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: streaming
        template_variables:
          region: FR #(1)!
          sep_style: amethyst #(2)!
          visible_library_disney: true #(3)!
          visible_home_disney: true #(4)!
          visible_shared_disney: true #(5)!
          sonarr_add_missing_hulu: true #(6)!
          radarr_add_missing_amazon: true #(7)!
          sort_by: random #(8)!
```

1.  Use French region to determine streaming data from JustWatch/TMDb.
2.  Use the amethyst [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
3.  Pin the "Disney+ Movies/Shows" collection to the Recommended tab of the library
4.  Pin the "Disney+ Movies/Shows" collection to the home screen of the server owner
5.  Pin the "Disney+ Movies/Shows" collection to the home screen of other users of the server
6.  Add missing shows in your library from the "Hulu Shows" list to your Sonarr
7.  Add missing movies in your library from the "Prime Video Movies" list to your Radarr
8.  Sort all the collections created by this file randomly
