Config¶

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_path:
      - pmm: streaming
  TV Shows:
    overlay_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 Overlay Variables are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

Variable	Description & Values
`horizontal_offset`	Description: Change the horizontal offset. Default Value: `15`
`horizontal_align`	Description: Change the horizontal alignment. Default Value: `left`
`vertical_offset`	Description: Change the vertical offset. Default Value: `390`
`vertical_align`	Description: Change the vertical alignment. Default Value: `bottom`
`back_color`	Description: Change the back color. Default Value: `#00000099`
`back_radius`	Description: Change the back (lozenge) radius . Default Value: `30`
`back_width`	Description: Change the back (lozenge) width. Default Value: `305`
`back_height`	Description: Change the back (lozenge) height. Default Value: `105`
`region`	Description: Changes some Streaming Service lists to regional variants (see below table for more information. Default: `us` Values: `us`,`uk`,`ca`, `da`, `de`, `es`, `fr`, `it`, `pt-br`
`originals_only`	Description: Changes Streaming Service overlays to only apply to original content produced by the service. Note: Cannot be used with `region`, and only produces overlays for `amazon`, `appletv`, `disney`, `max`, `hulu`, `netflix`, `paramount`, `peacock` Default: `false` Values: `true`, `false`
`weight_<<key>>`¹	Description: Controls the weight of the Overlay. Higher numbers have priority. Values: Any Number

Each default overlay has a key that when calling to effect a specific overlay 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 overlays will use regional variant lists to ensure the overlays are applied to what is available in the region specified
any besides `uk`	`all4`, `britbox`, `hayu`, `now`	These overlays will not be used if the region is not `uk` as these streaming services are UK-focused
any besides `ca`	`crave`	These overlays will not be used if the region is not `ca` as these streaming services are Canada-focused
`ca`	`max`, `showtime`	These overlays will not be used 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.

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_path:
      - pmm: streaming
        template_variables:
          originals_only: true
          use_peacock: false
          weight_netflix: 100
