Trailarr Settings

There are several settings that you can use to customize the behavior of Trailarr app. These settings can be set by opening the app in browser http://localhost:7889/settings and navigating to Settings > General page.

General Settings

Enable this setting to monitor trailers for connections. When enabled, the app will automatically download trailers for media in Radarr and Sonarr.

Note

Disabling this will disable monitoring of media for all connections.

Monitor Interval

  • Default is 60 minutes. Minimum is 10 minutes`.

Frequency (in minutes) to check for new media in Radarr/Sonarr.

Changing this setting will require a restart of the app (container) to take effect.

File Settings

Wait For Media

  • Default is false

Advanced Settings

These are advanced settings, if you don't know what they do, do not modify them!

Log Level

  • Default is Info

Select the logging level for the app. Available options are Debug, Info, Warning, Error.

Info

If you are having issues and need to troubleshoot or request help, set the log level to Debug to get more detailed logs.

Yt-dlp Cookies Path

  • Default is None

If you are having issues downloading trailers due to age restrictions, bot detection, etc., you can set the path to a file containing YouTube cookies. This will allow the app to use the cookies to bypass restrictions.

See Export YouTube Cookies.txt file for more info.

Tip

Use the 📁 (folder) icon to open a dialog that shows the container folders and files. Navigate to your cookies.txt file and confirm.

Warning

Make sure to save the cookies file in a secure location and map the volume to the container. Set the path to the file in this setting.

Do NOT use cookies with New Installations

If you are just setting up Trailarr, it is recommended to not use cookies initially for downloading trailers in bulk, as that might lead to your account being flagged for suspicious activity and YouTube placing a ban on your account. Instead, try downloading trailers without cookies first and then setup cookies once the bulk downloads are complete.

Alternatively, you can try setting up a new YouTube account and use cookies from that new account.

Experimental Settings

These are experimental options, might not work as expected! You can enable them if you want to try. Please report any issues on Discord (recommended) or Github

Hardware Acceleration

  • Default is false

Enable this setting to use hardware acceleration for video conversion. This will speed up the conversion process by using the NVIDIA GPU for encoding and decoding.

Note

This setting is available only if an NVIDIA GPU is detected on the host system. For setup instructions, see Hardware Acceleration.

Update Yt-dlp

  • Default is false

Enable this setting to update yt-dlp to the latest version on every app start. This will ensure that the app uses the latest features and bug fixes.

URL Base
