Permissions

Allow access to game libraries without login

Default: false
This option allows users to access game libraries without logging in (great if you want to share your game library with friends or family).

Scanning

Enable automatic scanning using file system watchers

Default: true
This option enables automatic scanning of game libraries using file system watchers. This way Gameyfin will automatically detect changes in your game libraries and update the database accordingly.

Scan empty directories

Default: false
This option allows Gameyfin to scan empty directories in your game libraries. This is useful if you want to keep track of directories that do not contain any games, but it may slow down the scanning process.

Minimum ratio for title matching

Default: 90
Range: 0-100
This option filters the results of the title matching algorithm. If the ratio is below this value, the title will not be matched.
Lowering this value may result in more matches, but it may also result in more false matches.

File extensions to consider as games

Default: zip,tar,gz,rar,7z,bz2,xz,iso,jar,tgz,exe,bat,cmd,com,msi,bin,run,app,dmg,elf
This option allows you to specify which file extensions should be considered as games.

This option enables periodic refresh of video game metadata.
Gameyfin will automatically update the metadata of your games based on the configured sources.

Schedule for periodic metadata refresh

Default: 0 0 * * 0 (every Sunday at midnight)
This option allows you to configure the schedule for periodic metadata refresh.
The format is a cron expression.
