Sync Options

Provider Rate Limiting & Concurrency

Control request concurrency for parallel processing and add delays between requests to avoid provider rate limiting.

When enabled, a delay will be added between requests to the provider during playlist and EPG syncs and other stream processing tasks.
Lower values (1-2) are safer but slower. Set to 1 to process requests sequentially.
Maximum number of simultaneous requests allowed. Also controls the level of parallelism for batch operations such as stream probing and channel scrubbing.

Sync Invalidation & Retries

Cancel syncs that would remove too much content, and control how long failed syncs wait before they are retried.

Cancel a sync that would remove more content than the configured thresholds allow.
Playlists only retry when "Auto resync on failure" is enabled on the playlist, up to its max retry attempts. Invalidated playlist syncs always wait for the next scheduled sync.
