Configuration

Configuration

Tori stores its settings in a config.toml file inside its data directory.

File location

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Tori/config.toml
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Tori\config.toml
• Linux: ~/.local/share/Tori/config.toml (or under $SEANIME_DATA_DIR if set)

Most settings can also be changed from the in-app Settings UI, which writes back to this file — editing it directly is mainly useful for headless/server setups or fixing something the UI won't let you (like the bind host).

[server]

Key	Description
host	Interface to bind to. 127.0.0.1 = local machine only. 0.0.0.0 = reachable from other devices on your network (required for mobile apps, VPS setups, etc).
port	Port the server listens on. Default 43211.
offline	Start in offline mode.
usebinarypath	Whether to resolve external tool paths (mpv, ffmpeg, etc.) relative to the binary's location.

[cache]

Controls where Tori caches images, metadata, and transcoded segments. See Transcoding & Direct Play for transcode-specific cache behavior.

Environment variables

Variable	Description
SEANIME_DATA_DIR	Overrides the data directory location.
SEANIME_WORKING_DIR	Overrides the working directory Tori runs from.

These env var names are internal identifiers carried over from the underlying engine and don't affect branding — they're not shown to you anywhere in the app.

Applying changes

Config file edits require a full restart of the server (fully quit Tori Denshi, not just close the window) to take effect.
