Configuration

🇬🇧 English (this page) · 🇫🇷 Français

All of the app's global settings live in the Settings window, accessible via the button of the same name (visible in both simple and advanced mode) or via the right-click menu on the notification area icon.

Theme

Light or Dark — Windows 11 palette (blue accent). The transition between the two is animated. The choice is currently not remembered between launches (the app always restarts in light theme); see FAQ & troubleshooting if this behavior surprises you.

Language

Français or English — translates the labels, buttons, checkboxes, column headers, and menus of the main interface, with no reload. Choice remembered between launches.

Scope note: error messages/confirmations, notifications, logs, the getting-started guide, and the changelog stay in French regardless of the chosen language (not yet translated).

Save folder

Folder where captured video files are written. The Browse... button opens a folder picker; the chosen path is validated by the path sandbox before being accepted.

Cookies (optional)

A cookies.txt file (Netscape format, exportable from most browsers via an extension) passed to yt-dlp to access content restricted to logged-in accounts. No password is ever requested, stored, or managed by the app itself.

SOCKS5/HTTP proxy (optional)

Example: socks5://127.0.0.1:9050. Passed to yt-dlp to hide the real IP from the remote site. The app doesn't provide a proxy/VPN itself — it's up to you to have one that works.

Default automatic reconnection

Checkbox: if enabled, any new recording started will have automatic reconnection enabled by default (see User Guide). This setting is remembered between launches.

Automatically check for updates

Checkbox, enabled by default: the app queries the project's GitHub releases once an hour and shows a notification if a new version exists (see User Guide).

This is the only network call the app makes on its own — everything else comes from yt-dlp/ffmpeg, to addresses you asked for. Unchecking the box disables it immediately, without restarting the app, and the Check for updates button remains usable manually.

Closing the Settings window

The Close button (or the window's X) simply closes the Settings window — every change is already applied and saved immediately, no need to "confirm" on the way out.
