Libraries and metadata¶

The variables behind scanning, metadata sources and intro detection. Most of them have a field in the admin panel, which wins once a value is saved there; the panel side is described in Libraries and metadata.

Scanning¶

Variable	Default	What it does	Panel
`EVEY_LIBRARY_WATCHER_ENABLED`	`true`	Realtime file watching.	Server Config → Libraries → Library file watcher, restart
`EVEY_LIBRARY_PERIODIC_SCAN_INTERVAL`	`2m`	How often the folders are checked for what the watcher missed (network shares).	Server Config → Libraries → Periodic scan interval, restart
`EVEY_LIBRARY_SCAN_WORKERS`	from the CPU share	Files analysed in parallel during a scan. Set by hand, it bypasses the Processing power share for scans.	none
`EVEY_SEEKINDEX_STATE_DIR`	`/data/seek-index`	Where the Media Health scan keeps its results and its running job across restarts. Empty: not kept.	none

Metadata¶

Variable	Default	What it does	Panel
`EVEY_METADATA_LANGUAGE`	`en`	The language of titles and summaries. The language chosen in the setup wizard wins over it.	Server Config → Language & Region → Metadata language, live
`EVEY_TMDB_API_KEY`	built-in key	Your own TMDB key, for your own quota.	Server Config → API Keys → TMDB API Key, restart
`EVEY_OMDB_API_KEY`	empty	An OMDb key, a second source for films.	Server Config → API Keys → OMDB API Key, restart
`EVEY_OPENSUBTITLES_API_KEY`	empty	An OpenSubtitles key, for subtitle search through the API.	Server Config → API Keys → OpenSubtitles API Key, restart
`EVEY_OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME`, `EVEY_OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD`	empty	An OpenSubtitles account, used to sign in to its API.	none

Intro, recap and credits¶

Variable	Default	What it does	Panel
`EVEY_INTRO_PROVIDERS_ENABLED`	`false`	Uses the community databases (TheIntroDB, then IntroDB) before the server's own detection.	Server Config → Intro Skip Providers → Enable external intro skip providers, restart
`EVEY_INTRO_TIDB_API_KEY`	empty	A TheIntroDB key: 500 lookups a day instead of 100.	Server Config → API Keys → TheIntroDB API Key, restart
`EVEY_INTRO_AUTO_SKIP_ENABLED`	`false`	Every player skips detected intros on its own.	Server Config → Libraries → Auto-skip intros, live
`EVEY_INTRO_SKIP_PREVIEW_ENABLED`	`false`	Also offers to skip the preview of the next episode.	Server Config → Libraries → Skip preview segments, live
`EVEY_INTRO_DETECTION_MAX_PARALLEL`	from the CPU share	Titles analysed at once. Set by hand, it bypasses the Processing power share for this task.	none
`EVEY_INTRO_FFMPEG_THREADS`	`1`	Threads per ffmpeg process during detection (1 to 16).	none
