You're loading two copies of the streaming default. The first one is going to create these 18 collections:

| Keys (Title):
|   - channel4 (Channel 4)
|   - appletv (Apple TV+)
|   - bet (BET+)
|   - crave (Crave)
|   - crunchyroll (Crunchyroll)
|   - discovery (discovery+)
|   - disney (Disney+)
|   - itvx (ITVX)
|   - hbomax (HBO Max)
|   - hayu
|   - hulu (Hulu)
|   - netflix (Netflix)
|   - now (NOW)
|   - paramount (Paramount+)
|   - peacock (Peacock)
|   - amazon (Prime Video)
|   - youtube (YouTube)
|   - tubi

The second one is going to create the same 18, which all get flagged as duplicates:

| Keys (Title):
|   - channel4 (Channel 4)
|   - appletv (Apple TV+)
|   - bet (BET+)
|   - crave (Crave)
|   - crunchyroll (Crunchyroll)
|   - discovery (discovery+)
|   - disney (Disney+)
|   - itvx (ITVX)
|   - hbomax (HBO Max)
|   - hayu
|   - hulu (Hulu)
|   - netflix (Netflix)
|   - now (NOW)
|   - paramount (Paramount+)
|   - peacock (Peacock)
|   - amazon (Prime Video)
|   - youtube (YouTube)

Since all the collections are dropped from the file, the now-empty collections: or dynamic_collections: attribute gets dropped from the parsed YAML file, which results in:

| YAML Error: collections or dynamic_collections attribute is required

Great, that makes sense. I was trying to get the itvx from gb region

tidal fern

Looks like exclude is what you want.

sour kelp
#

Thanks, I will have to rewrite each streaming section. Thank you.

next pagoda
#

and you also cannot apply a filter to the defaults in that way

tidal fern
#

yeah, that too

#

The defaults are only customizable as described on their individual wiki pages.
