Configuring SomeDL

You can either edit the configuration file directly, or use the WebUI’s Settings tab to change configurations.

Configuration file

SomeDL comes with a somedl_config.toml configuration file. To generate this file, or regenerate it with default configurations, run:

somedl --generate-config

The config file is usually located at:

Linux

~/.config/SomeDL/somedl_config.toml

Windows

C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SomeDL\somedl_config.toml

MacOS

~/Library/Application Support/SomeDL/somedl_config.toml

In the config file you can edit the behaviour of SomeDL, like defining an output template, setting default output format & output folder and much more. Inside this config file, there are comments that explain each setting. (For Windows users it is recommended to read and edit the config file with an editor that has syntax highlighing, like Notepad++).

Configuration from the WebUI

All configuration changes can also be made directly form the WebUI’s Settings tab. Click apply after making changes to the configurations. A few settings require a complete restart of the application (e.g. number of concurrent downloaders). Please restart the application if there are problems.
