In addition to the internal settings, tinyMediaManager also supports to set some low level runtime parameters through the launcher configuration. The launcher configuration (launcher-extra.yml) can contain either Java JVM parameters or some special parameters for tinyMediaManager itself. The file launcher-extra.yml is located at:
Navigate to the content folder of tinyMediaManger: Just use the action “Tools -> Open data folder” and you file manager will open. Just navigate to one folder above this data folder (this usually contains several folders like data, logs, backup, cache). You can also navigate manually to this folder:
- If you have a portable installation, the content folder is also the tinyMediaManager folder
- Windows:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/tinyMediaManager - Linux:
~/.local/share/tinyMediaManager
In a portable installation, the file launcher-extra.yml is in the tinyMediaManager folder
The launcher configuration must be in the form
javaHome: "custom Java home"
jvmOpts:
- "JVM - parameter"
env:
- "environment option"
The sections of the configuration is as follows:
javaHome
If you don’t want to start tinyMediaManager with the shipped Java runtime (or the systems default Java runtime), you can enter the location of a custom Java runtime here.
Example:
javaHome: "/usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-14-hotspot-amd64/"
Default: javaHome: ""
