Config

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: streaming
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: 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 is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

All Shared Collection Variables are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

This file contains a Separator so all Shared Separator Variables are available as well.

Each default collection has a key that when calling to effect a specific collection you must replace <<key>> with when calling.

Regional Variants

Some logic is applied to allow for regional streaming service lists to be available to users depending on where they are, as detailed below:

Region	Key	Description
any besides `us`	`amazon`, `disney`, `netflix`	These collections will use regional variant lists to ensure the lists populate with what is available in the region specified
any besides `uk`	`all4`, `britbox`, `hayu`, `now`	These collections will not be created if the region is not `uk` 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`	`hbomax`, `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

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

          region: fr
          use_separator: false
