AutoSync
🌐 English · Deutsch
AutoSync keeps series up to date automatically: at a configurable interval the app checks whether new episodes are available online and whether episodes are missing locally — missing ones are queued for download automatically.
On the AutoSync page (/autosync) you create one job per series with:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Series URL | aniworld.to or s.to series |
| Language | A single language or All Languages (downloads every available language; English Sub can be excluded globally) |
| Provider | Host used for the downloads |
| Custom path | Optional dedicated download target |
| Enabled | Jobs can be paused individually |
| Path-unavailable action |
skip or hold (per job, overrides the global setting) |
The global interval (1min to 24h, default: off) applies to all jobs and is set in Settings. The worker checks every 10 seconds which jobs are due — interval changes take effect immediately.
Phase 1 — online inventory: All seasons of the series are fetched and the total number of episodes available online is counted (movie "seasons" are skipped). The count is compared with the previous run to detect new episodes.
Phase 2 — local comparison per language: The download folders (default path + all custom paths; with language separation enabled, the respective language folder) are scanned for files matching the SxxExx pattern. For every episode that exists online but not locally, the app additionally verifies that the target language is actually available at the host — only then is it queued. This prevents "language not available" errors in the queue.
If a download for the series in the same language is already queued or running, the job is skipped for this cycle.
If a job has a custom path that is unreachable:
-
skip(default): the run is skipped and recorded as an error; next attempt in the next interval. -
hold: the job is paused ("on hold") and a notification is sent. As soon as the path is reachable again the job resumes automatically (with a notification).
- Network errors (timeouts, DNS, connection resets) count as transient: no retry counter, retried next interval.
-
Other errors increase the retry counter. With
sync_error_retries(0–10) andsync_error_retry_time(0–5 min) the job is retried at a shorter interval after failures. Optionally, error notifications are only sent once all retries have failed.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Sync now | Run a single job immediately |
| Sync all | Run all enabled jobs immediately |
| Export / Import | Back up all jobs as JSON / restore them |
| Batch add | Add multiple series URLs at once |
AutoSync fires the events on_autosync (new episodes are being downloaded), on_sync_error, on_sync_hold and on_sync_resume — configurable per service and user (Notifications).
