Basic Configuration
Tasks, scraping, and records are the day-to-day settings. You can save a new scrape or task immediately to get defaults, then edit.
Records
Records lists every transfer.
Delete removes destination files by default. Force-delete also removes the source (ignoring lock).
Opening a record lets you change transfer and scrape behavior.
Custom transfer
- Ignore — skip this file; you can delete the destination and it will not be transferred again
- Season / episode — for series
- Top-level folder — outer folder name after transfer; can be applied to other records from the same source
- Task ID — which task owns the record
Custom scraping
- Number — watch spaces and
_; a mismatch is treated as a new title - Source — a site supported by scrapinglib
- URL — scrape that page directly
- Part number — start at 1 when the same ID has multiple parts; use 0 for a single file
- Tags — comma-separated, e.g.
chinese-sub,uncensored - Crop — whether to crop the poster
After you change a task’s source folder, old records keep the previous prefix. Use Tools → Sync transfer record paths to rewrite prefixes and the linked extra info.
Scraping configuration
A task points at one scrape config.
Basics
- Save metadata — store the result locally; view it under Metadata
- Sites — scrapinglib sources, tried in order
Naming and folders
- Naming rule — default
number+' '+title - Location rule — default
actor+'/'+number+' '+title - Max title length — default 50
Tokens include title, actor, studio, director, release, year, number, runtime, series, and similar fields.
Other
- More storyline — fill in the outline when possible
- Extra fanart — download extra images and the folder name
- Watermark size — size relative to the whole image
- Watermark position — top-right
0, top-left1, bottom-left2, bottom-right3; extra marks increment from there
Task configuration
Basics
- Content type — movies and series are handled differently
- Source / output folder
- Failed folder — where failures land
- Operation — hard link, soft link, move, copy. Prefer hard link on the same filesystem
- Auto watch — run this task on create/move/delete; a full run also asks Emby to refresh
- Clean others — on a full run, delete output files that are not in records
- Optimize folder names — strip Chinese characters so media servers parse names more easily
- Escape folders — e.g.
Sample,sample,@eaDir - Escape literals / size — skip names containing those characters, or files below a size

Enable scraping and pick a config. Create one under Scraping configs if none fits.
