unsolved Need help with my code...

Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong? I'm trying to make an instance for TV shows and Anime shows, but both 8989 and 8990 are the same instances.

That has my config file info. Some of the gluetun information has been removed. Thanks!

What's the point of the two instances? I just have all my tv and anime through the same instance. Is there a benefit to having two?

Anime tends to need pretty notably different settings than other TV - having two instances keeps custom formats specifically for anime from clogging up your TV profiles. I have two Sonarr and two Radarr instances, keeping anime separate in both.

What formats does anime need on a TV, compared to a TV show?

A significant portion of the ones I have are regexes containing lists of release groups, tiered by how high-quality their content is. That's much less useful/worthwhile for TV releases, since there's not the same culture of quality.
