top |
| language | Application language setting; Optional values: zh_CN, en | zh_CN |
| update_mode | Scheduled execution update mode, does not apply to workflow; Optional values: interval, time; interval: execute by interval time, time: execute at specified time point | interval |
| update_interval | Scheduled execution update interval, only takes effect when update_mode = interval, unit hours, set to 0 or empty to run only once | 12 |
| update_times | Scheduled execution update time point, only takes effect when update_mode = time, format HH:MM, supports multiple time points separated by commas | |
| update_startup | Execute update at startup, used to control whether to execute an update immediately after the program starts | True |

| source_file | Template file path. | config/demo.txt |
| final_file | Generated result file path. | output/result.txt |
| open_realtime_write | Enable real-time writing of result files, you can access and use the updated results during the speed measurement process | True |
| open_service | Enable page service, used to control whether to start the result page service. If using platforms such as Qinglong with scheduled tasks, and you need the program to exit after update is finished, you can disable this. | True |
| app_port | Page service port, used to control the port number of the page service. | 5180 |
| public_scheme | Public network protocol. Optional values: http, https. |
http |
| public_domain | Public network Host address, used to generate access URLs in the result; uses local machine IP by default. | 127.0.0.1 |
| cdn_url | CDN proxy acceleration address, used for accelerated access to subscription sources, channel icons and other resources. | |
| http_proxy | HTTP proxy address, used for network requests such as obtaining subscription sources | |
| open_local | Enable local source function, will use the data in the template file and the local source file (local.txt). |

| open_history | Enable using historical update results (including interfaces from template and result files), merged into this update. | True |
| open_headers | Enable using request header authentication information contained in M3U, used for speed test and other operations. Note: only a few players support playing such interfaces with authentication info, so it is disabled by default. | False |
| open_speed_test | Enable speed test functionality to obtain response time, rate, and resolution. | True |
| open_filter_resolution | Enable resolution filtering. Interfaces below the minimum resolution (min_resolution) will be filtered. GUI users need to manually install FFmpeg; the program will call FFmpeg to obtain interface resolution. Recommended to enable: although it increases speed test time, it more effectively distinguishes playable interfaces. |
True |
| open_filter_speed | Enable speed filtering. Interfaces below the minimum speed (min_speed) will be filtered. |
True |
| open_full_speed_test | Enable full speed test, all interfaces under the channel (except for the whitelist) are speed tested, if turned off, when the number of valid speed test results reaches urls_limit, the remaining interfaces will stop speed testing | False |
| open_supply | Enable compensation mechanism mode. When the number of channel interfaces is insufficient, interfaces that do not meet the conditions (such as lower than minimum speed) but may still be available will be added to the result to avoid empty results. | False |

| speed_test_timeout | Single interface speed test timeout duration in seconds. Larger values increase speed test time and number of interfaces obtained (but with lower average quality); smaller values reduce time and favor low-latency, higher-quality interfaces. | 10 |
| speed_test_filter_host | Use Host address to de-duplicate speed tests. Channels with the same Host share speed test data. Enabling this can greatly reduce speed test time but may cause inaccurate results. | False |
| request_timeout | Query request timeout duration in seconds, used to control timeout and retry duration when querying interface text links. Adjusting this value can optimize update time. | 10 |
| ipv6_support | Force treating the current network as IPv6-supported and skip detection. | False |
| ipv_type | Protocol type of interfaces in the generated result. Optional values: ipv4, ipv6, all. |
all |
| ipv_type_prefer | Interface protocol type preference. Preferred type will be ordered earlier in the result. Optional values: ipv4, ipv6, auto. |
auto |
| location | Interface location filter. Result will only contain interfaces whose location matches the given keywords (comma-separated). Leave empty to not restrict by location. Recommended to set near the end user to improve playback experience. | |
| isp | Interface operator filter. Result will only contain interfaces whose operator matches the given keywords (comma-separated). Leave empty to not restrict by operator. | |
| origin_type_prefer | Preferred interface source ordering. The result is sorted in this order (comma-separated). Example: local,subscribe. Leave empty to not specify and sort by interface speed instead. |
|
| local_num | Preferred number of local source interfaces in the result. | 10 |
| subscribe_num | Preferred number of subscription source interfaces in the result. | 10 |
| logo_url | Channel logo library URL. | |

| nginx_http_port | Nginx HTTP service port, used for the HTTP service of RTMP push forwarding. | 8080 |
| nginx_rtmp_port | Nginx RTMP service port, used for the RTMP service of RTMP push forwarding. | 1935 |
| rtmp_idle_timeout | RTMP channel idle stop-streaming timeout in seconds. When no one watches for longer than this duration, streaming is stopped, helping reduce server resource usage. | 300 |
| rtmp_max_streams | Maximum number of concurrent RTMP push streams. Controls how many channels can be pushed at the same time. Larger values increase server load; tune to optimize resource usage. | 10 |

RTMP Streaming:
Note
- If deploying on a server, be sure to set the
PUBLIC_DOMAINenvironment variable to the server's domain name or IP address and thePUBLIC_PORTenvironment variable to the public port; otherwise the streaming addresses will not be accessible. - When streaming is enabled, obtained interfaces (e.g., subscription sources) will be streamed by default.
- To stream local video sources, create an
hlsfolder under theconfigdirectory and place video files named after the channel; the program will automatically stream them to the corresponding channels.
