General
Language	Select your countrycode here. If your language isn't available translate the english file in the language directory and send it to me.
Template	This sets the design to use. Each template can have multiple styles (color schemes). Just try them and use the one you like most :-)
List columns	This is currently only used in the 'modern' template. It defines how many columns are used to show the browsing list. If set to 1 it shows a list like the default template.
Cast columns	This defines how many columns are used to display the cast list in a movies detail view. It depends on your screen resolution and the chosen template how much space you have.
Automatic DiskID	VideoDB uses a DiskID to identify disks. This ID is different from the VideoID which is assigned to every video automagically. This allows you to have multiple videos on a single disk and let them become all unavailable when you lend the disk to someone. However if you don't have a fancy namingscheme for your disks and just want to number them, VideoDB can suggest an ID when adding a new video by increasing a number. If you want this enable this option.
Order by DiskID	If you enable this parameter the list of movies in the "all" view will be ordered by DiskID instead of the video titles.
Default mediatype	Select which mediatype should be suggested when adding a new video
Default language	This is different from the language setting above. This is the language that will be filled in on default when you add a new video. Leave it blank if you don't like this.
Default filter	This is the page that will be opened when you start VideoDB.
Show TV Episodes	If you want TV Episodes to be included in the browse view by default enable this option.
New Movies	You can enter the number of movies shown on the "new" filter.
Maximum items per page	Number of items to display on each page. Use 0 or leave empty to disable pagination.
Language flags	Here you can select the flags which should be available as JavaScript buttons in the edit form for quick language selection. No more than five should be selected.
Remove Articles	If selected, articles are stripped from added movies, e.g. The Angel is stored as Angel, The.
Adult Genres	Movies in the genres you select here will only be visible to users with 'adult' permissions. Hold down the CTRL-key to select multiple genres. (Only applies when multiuser support is enabled)
Force Recompile	The template engine compiles all templates just once by default and then uses the compiled versions. If you develop your own templates or tweak other things in the code it may be necessary to force a recompile. You can do so by enabling this option.
Show tools	The tools menu will show the contents of the `contrib` directory. Contents of the contrib directory are useful contributions to videoDB, but not fully tested and might be hazardous to security.
Custom Fields
Custom fields 1. 2. 3. 4.	You may define up to four custom fields for your videos. Each can store up to 255 characters. Here you can give them names and select the pluginhandlers which should be used to display the fields. Leave the name blank to disable them.

Network and Security
Local network	Here you can define your local network. Users who access VideoDB from somewhere else can not edit the data anymore. This is a regular expression so you may even give some complicated term here. Examples: ^192\.168\.1\. allows 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 ^(192\.168\.1\.\|127\.0\.0\.1$) the same as above plus localhost ^192\.168\.1\.22$ allows IP 192.168.1.22 only ^(192\.168\.1\.22\|127\.0\.0\.1)$ the same as above plus localhost leaving it blank allows everyone Attention: If you make a mistake here you will lock out your self from the config page!
Multiuser Support	This option enables the multi user support to use VideoDB with multiple password authenticated users.
No public access	Enabling this denies access for everyone except authenticated users. (Only applies when multiuser support is enabled)
User Management User Management	Follow this link to add, modify and delete users and their permissions for the multiuser mode.
Proxy server	If the host which VideoDB runs on is behind a proxy server you can give its name here. Leave it blank if you don't need a proxy.
Proxy port	Give the port of your proxy here eg. 8080.
Caching
Thumbnails	Enabling this shows a tiny version of the coverimage in the browsinglist. If it is to slow or distracts your eyes disable it.
IMDB Browser	This allows you to browse the IMDB through VideoDB and add movies directly from within their site.
IMDB cache age	VideoDB can cache IMDB queries to avoid unnecessary, time consuming requests and lessen the load on the IMDB servers. Use this setting to define the maximum age of local documents (in seconds). Defaults to 5 days.
Actor thumbnails	This tries to find a tiny image for each actor from the cast and to display it beside the actors name.
Actor thumbnail retry	This defines when to retry to load actor thumbnails that weren't found last time (in seconds). Defaults to 3 weeks.
