2. Edit the index.html file:

🛠️ Configuration

Edit these variables at the top of the script:

• DEFAULT_REGION: The two-letter country code for the region you want to see results from by default.

  List of available options in regions.txt

• DEFAULT_PROVIDERS: A list of your preferred streaming providers. If you leave this list empty, it will show all available providers in the default region. If you add provider names, it will only show those.

  List of available options in providers.txt

• IGNORE_PROVIDERS: A list of streaming providers you want to hide from the default display. This is useful for filtering out services you don't use. Also supports Regex.
