Setup Wizard

First-Run Setup Wizard

Fresh installations stay idle until the Setup Wizard is completed.

You can reopen it later from Settings → Setup Wizard.

Setup Wizard interface

The first-run wizard walks through required media/transcription settings and optional integrations step by step.

Step 1 — Media folders and mode

Typical container paths:

Movies: /media
TV:     /tv

On native Windows, use real Windows paths such as D:\Movies, E:\TV Shows, a mapped drive, or a reachable UNC path.

Start with Dry Run enabled.

Dry Run still needs read permission to the source media because Censorarr must inspect, extract audio, and transcribe it.

Step 2 — Transcription backend

Choose one:

Local CPU

Best for initial validation or systems without an NVIDIA worker.

Default configuration uses CPU/int8.

Remote GPU

Use the Censorarr GPU Worker only.

You need:

• worker URL, e.g. http://GPU-IP:9000
• matching worker token
• reachable TCP 9000

Auto

Uses the GPU Worker with local CPU fallback when configured.

See Transcription & GPU Worker.

Step 3 — Plex (optional)

Skip this if you do not need Plex-specific features.

Plex can add:

• rating filters
• playback-aware start gating
• library refresh after processing

See Plex Integration.

Step 4 — Radarr and Sonarr (optional)

These are metadata integrations. They are not required for scanning or processing media.

• Radarr enriches Movies
• Sonarr enriches TV Shows

See Radarr & Sonarr.

Step 5 — Subtitle Assist / Bazarr

Subtitle Assist can use:

• external subtitle files
• embedded English text subtitles
• optional Bazarr downloads

Bazarr is not required.

See Bazarr & Subtitle Assist.

Step 6 — Review

Verify:

• correct media roots
• Dry Run vs Apply
• backend selection
• optional integrations you actually want

Finish setup only after the media permission checks pass.

Recommended first-run sequence

For troubleshooting, do not enable everything at once.

1. Core + local CPU + Dry Run
2. Verify file discovery
3. Verify transcription/detection
4. Add GPU Worker
5. Add Plex
6. Add Radarr/Sonarr
7. Add Bazarr
8. Switch to Apply after testing
