## Core Settings
### Logging
Control the minimum log level for runtime output:
```json
{
"logging": {
"level": "info"
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `level` | `"debug"`, `"info"`, `"warn"`, `"error"` | Minimum log level for runtime logging (default: `"info"`) |
### Auto-Start Overlay
Control whether the overlay automatically becomes visible when it connects to mpv:
```json
{
"auto_start_overlay": false
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `auto_start_overlay` | `true`, `false` | Auto-show overlay on mpv connection (default: `false`) |
The mpv plugin controls startup overlay visibility via `auto_start_visible_overlay` in `subminer.conf`.
For wrapper-driven playback, `subminer.conf` can also enable startup pause gating with
`auto_start_pause_until_ready` (requires `auto_start=yes` + `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`).
Current plugin defaults in `subminer.conf` are:
- `auto_start=yes`
- `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`
- `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`
### Startup Warmups
Control which startup warmups run in the background versus deferring to first real usage:
```json
{
"startupWarmups": {
"lowPowerMode": false,
"mecab": true,
"yomitanExtension": true,
"subtitleDictionaries": true,
"jellyfinRemoteSession": true
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ----------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `lowPowerMode` | `true`, `false` | Defer all warmups except Yomitan extension |
| `mecab` | `true`, `false` | Warm up MeCab tokenizer at startup |
| `yomitanExtension` | `true`, `false` | Warm up Yomitan extension at startup |
| `subtitleDictionaries` | `true`, `false` | Warm up JLPT + frequency dictionaries at startup |
| `jellyfinRemoteSession` | `true`, `false` | Warm up Jellyfin remote session at startup (still requires Jellyfin remote auto-connect settings) |
Defaults warm everything (`true` for all toggles, `lowPowerMode: false`). Setting a warmup toggle to `false` defers that work until first usage.
### WebSocket Server
The overlay includes a built-in WebSocket server that broadcasts subtitle text to connected clients (such as texthooker-ui) for external processing.
By default, the server uses "auto" mode: it starts automatically unless [mpv_websocket](https://github.com/kuroahna/mpv_websocket) is detected at `~/.config/mpv/mpv_websocket`. If you have mpv_websocket installed, the built-in server is skipped to avoid conflicts.
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"websocket": {
"enabled": "auto",
"port": 6677
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | `true`, `false`, `"auto"` | `"auto"` (default) disables if mpv_websocket is detected |
| `port` | number | WebSocket server port (default: 6677) |
### Texthooker
Control whether the browser opens automatically when texthooker starts:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"texthooker": {
"openBrowser": true
}
}
```
## Subtitle Display
### Subtitle Style
Customize the appearance of primary and secondary subtitles:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"subtitleStyle": {
"fontFamily": "M PLUS 1 Medium, Source Han Sans JP, Noto Sans CJK JP",
"fontSize": 35,
"fontColor": "#cad3f5",
"fontWeight": "600",
"lineHeight": 1.35,
"letterSpacing": "-0.01em",
"wordSpacing": 0,
"fontKerning": "normal",
"textRendering": "geometricPrecision",
"textShadow": "0 3px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.69)",
"fontStyle": "normal",
"backgroundColor": "rgb(30, 32, 48, 0.88)",
"backdropFilter": "blur(6px)",
"secondary": {
"fontFamily": "Inter, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif",
"fontSize": 24,
"fontColor": "#cad3f5",
"backgroundColor": "transparent"
}
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fontFamily` | string | CSS font-family value (default: `"M PLUS 1 Medium, Source Han Sans JP, Noto Sans CJK JP"`) |
| `fontSize` | number (px) | Font size in pixels (default: `35`) |
| `fontColor` | string | Any CSS color value (default: `"#cad3f5"`) |
| `fontWeight` | string | CSS font-weight, e.g. `"bold"`, `"normal"`, `"600"` (default: `"600"`) |
| `fontStyle` | string | `"normal"` or `"italic"` (default: `"normal"`) |
| `backgroundColor` | string | Any CSS color, including `"transparent"` (default: `"rgb(30, 32, 48, 0.88)"`) |
| `enableJlpt` | boolean | Enable JLPT level underline styling (`false` by default) |
| `preserveLineBreaks` | boolean | Preserve line breaks in visible overlay subtitle rendering (`false` by default). Enable to mirror mpv line layout. |
| `autoPauseVideoOnHover` | boolean | Pause playback while mouse hovers subtitle text, then resume on leave (`true` by default). |
| `hoverTokenColor` | string | Hex color used for hovered subtitle token highlight in mpv (default: catppuccin mauve) |
| `hoverTokenBackgroundColor` | string | CSS color used for hovered subtitle token background highlight (default: semi-transparent dark) |
| `frequencyDictionary.enabled` | boolean | Enable frequency highlighting from dictionary lookups (`false` by default) |
| `frequencyDictionary.sourcePath` | string | Path to a local frequency dictionary root. Leave empty or omit to use installed/default frequency-dictionary search paths. |
| `frequencyDictionary.topX` | number | Only color tokens whose frequency rank is `<= topX` (`1000` by default) |
| `frequencyDictionary.mode` | string | `"single"` or `"banded"` (`"single"` by default) |
| `frequencyDictionary.matchMode` | string | `"headword"` or `"surface"` (`"headword"` by default) |
| `frequencyDictionary.singleColor` | string | Color used for all highlighted tokens in single mode |
| `frequencyDictionary.bandedColors` | string[] | Array of five hex colors used for ranked bands in banded mode |
| `nPlusOneColor` | string | Existing n+1 highlight color (default: `#c6a0f6`) |
| `knownWordColor` | string | Existing known-word highlight color (default: `#a6da95`) |
| `jlptColors` | object | JLPT level underline colors object (`N1`..`N5`) |
| `secondary` | object | Override any of the above for secondary subtitles (optional) |
JLPT underlining is powered by offline term-meta bank files at runtime. See [`docs/jlpt-vocab-bundle.md`](jlpt-vocab-bundle.md) for required files, source/version refresh steps, and deterministic fallback behavior.
Frequency dictionary highlighting uses the same dictionary file format as JLPT bundle lookups (`term_meta_bank_*.json` under discovered dictionary directories). A token is highlighted when it has a positive integer `frequencyRank` (lower is more common) and the rank is within `topX`.
Lookup behavior:
- Set `frequencyDictionary.sourcePath` to a directory containing `term_meta_bank_*.json` for a fully custom source.
- If `sourcePath` is missing or empty, SubMiner searches default install/runtime locations for `frequency-dictionary` directories (for example app resources, user data paths, and current working directory).
- In both cases, only terms with a valid `frequencyRank` are used; everything else falls back to no highlighting.
- `frequencyDictionary.matchMode` controls which token text is used for frequency lookups: `headword` (dictionary form) or `surface` (visible subtitle text).
- Frequency highlighting skips tokens that look like non-lexical SFX/interjection noise (for example kana reduplication or short kana endings like `っ`), even when dictionary ranks exist.
In `single` mode all highlights use `singleColor`; in `banded` mode tokens map to five ascending color bands from most common to least common inside the topX window.
Secondary subtitle defaults: `fontFamily: "Inter, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"`, `fontSize: 24`, `fontColor: "#cad3f5"`, `backgroundColor: "transparent"`. Any property not set in `secondary` falls back to the CSS defaults.
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for the complete list of subtitle style configuration options.
`jlptColors` keys are:
| Key | Default | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ----------------------- |
| `N1` | `#ed8796` | JLPT N1 underline color |
| `N2` | `#f5a97f` | JLPT N2 underline color |
| `N3` | `#f9e2af` | JLPT N3 underline color |
| `N4` | `#a6e3a1` | JLPT N4 underline color |
| `N5` | `#8aadf4` | JLPT N5 underline color |
**Image Quality Notes:**
- `imageQuality` affects JPG and WebP only; PNG is lossless and ignores this setting
- JPG quality is mapped to FFmpeg's scale (2-31, lower = better)
- WebP quality uses FFmpeg's native 0-100 scale
### Subtitle Position
Set the initial vertical subtitle position (measured from the bottom of the screen):
```json
{
"subtitlePosition": {
"yPercent": 10
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `yPercent` | number (0 - 100) | Distance from the bottom as a percent of screen height (default: `10`) |
In the overlay, you can fine-tune subtitle position at runtime with `Right-click + drag` on subtitle text.
### Secondary Subtitles
Display a second subtitle track (e.g., English alongside Japanese) in the overlay:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"secondarySub": {
"secondarySubLanguages": ["eng", "en"],
"autoLoadSecondarySub": true,
"defaultMode": "hover"
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `secondarySubLanguages` | string[] | Language codes to auto-load (e.g., `["eng", "en"]`) |
| `autoLoadSecondarySub` | `true`, `false` | Auto-detect and load matching secondary subtitle track |
| `defaultMode` | `"hidden"`, `"visible"`, `"hover"` | Initial display mode (default: `"hover"`) |
**Display modes:**
- **hidden** — Secondary subtitles not shown
- **visible** — Always visible at top of overlay
- **hover** — Only visible when hovering over the subtitle area (default)
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for additional secondary subtitle configuration options.
## Keyboard & Controls
### Keybindings
Add a `keybindings` array to configure keyboard shortcuts that send commands to mpv:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options and more examples.
**Default keybindings:**
| Key | Command | Description |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `Space` | `["cycle", "pause"]` | Toggle pause |
| `KeyJ` | `["cycle", "sid"]` | Cycle primary subtitle track |
| `Shift+KeyJ` | `["cycle", "secondary-sid"]` | Cycle secondary subtitle track |
| `ArrowRight` | `["seek", 5]` | Seek forward 5 seconds |
| `ArrowLeft` | `["seek", -5]` | Seek backward 5 seconds |
| `ArrowUp` | `["seek", 60]` | Seek forward 60 seconds |
| `ArrowDown` | `["seek", -60]` | Seek backward 60 seconds |
| `Shift+KeyH` | `["sub-seek", -1]` | Jump to previous subtitle |
| `Shift+KeyL` | `["sub-seek", 1]` | Jump to next subtitle |
| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyH` | `["__replay-subtitle"]` | Replay current subtitle, pause at end |
| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyL` | `["__play-next-subtitle"]` | Play next subtitle, pause at end |
| `KeyQ` | `["quit"]` | Quit mpv |
| `Ctrl+KeyW` | `["quit"]` | Quit mpv |
**Custom keybindings example:**
```json
{
"keybindings": [
{ "key": "ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 5] },
{ "key": "ArrowLeft", "command": ["seek", -5] },
{ "key": "Shift+ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 30] },
{ "key": "KeyR", "command": ["script-binding", "immersive/auto-replay"] },
{ "key": "KeyA", "command": ["script-message", "ankiconnect-add-note"] }
]
}
```
**Key format:** Use `KeyboardEvent.code` values (`Space`, `ArrowRight`, `KeyR`, etc.) with optional modifiers (`Ctrl+`, `Alt+`, `Shift+`, `Meta+`).
**Disable a default binding:** Set command to `null`:
```json
{ "key": "Space", "command": null }
```
**Special commands:** Commands prefixed with `__` are handled internally by the overlay rather than sent to mpv. `__replay-subtitle` replays the current subtitle and pauses at its end. `__play-next-subtitle` seeks to the next subtitle, plays it, and pauses at its end. `__runtime-options-open` opens the runtime options palette. `__runtime-option-cycle:<id>[:next|prev]` cycles a runtime option value.
**Supported commands:** Any valid mpv JSON IPC command array (`["cycle", "pause"]`, `["seek", 5]`, `["script-binding", "..."]`, etc.)
For subtitle-position and subtitle-track proxy commands (`sub-pos`, `sid`, `secondary-sid`), SubMiner also shows an mpv OSD notification after the command runs.
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for more keybinding examples and configuration options.
### Shortcuts Configuration
Customize or disable the overlay keyboard shortcuts:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.

**See `config.example.jsonc`** for the complete list of shortcut configuration options.
Set any shortcut to `null` to disable it.
Feature-dependent shortcuts/keybindings only run when their related integration is enabled. For example, Anki/Kiku shortcuts require `ankiConnect.enabled` (and Kiku-specific behavior where applicable), and Jellyfin remote startup behavior requires Jellyfin to be enabled.
### Manual Card Update Shortcuts
When `behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` is set to `false`, new cards are detected but not automatically updated. Use these keyboard shortcuts for manual control:
| Shortcut | Action |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Ctrl+C` | Copy the current subtitle line to clipboard (preserves line breaks) |
| `Ctrl+Shift+C` | Enter multi-copy mode. Press `1-9` to copy that many recent lines, or `Esc` to cancel. Timeout: 3 seconds |
| `Ctrl+V` | Update the last added Anki card using subtitles from clipboard |
| `Ctrl+G` | Trigger Kiku duplicate field grouping for the last added card (only when `behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` is `false`) |
| `Ctrl+S` | Create a sentence card from the current subtitle line |
| `Ctrl+Shift+S` | Enter multi-mine mode. Press `1-9` to create a sentence card from that many recent lines, or `Esc` to cancel |
| `Ctrl+Shift+V` | Cycle secondary subtitle display mode (hidden → visible → hover) |
| `Ctrl+Shift+A` | Mark the last added Anki card as an audio card (sets IsAudioCard, SentenceAudio, Sentence, Picture) |
| `Ctrl+Shift+O` | Open runtime options palette (session-only live toggles) |
| `Ctrl/Cmd+A` | Append clipboard video path to MPV playlist (fixed, not currently configurable) |
**Multi-line copy workflow:**
1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+C`
2. Press a number key (`1-9`) within 3 seconds
3. The specified number of most recent subtitle lines are copied
4. Press `Ctrl+V` to update the last added card with the copied lines
These shortcuts are only active when the overlay window is visible and automatically disabled when hidden.
### Session Help Modal
The session help modal is opened with `Y-H` by default (falls back to `Y-K` if needed) and shows the current session keybindings and color legend.
You can filter the modal quickly with `/`:
- Type any part of the action name or shortcut in the search bar.
- Search is case-insensitive and ignores spaces/punctuation (`+`, `-`, `_`, `/`) so `ctrl w`, `ctrl+w`, and `ctrl+s` all match.
- Results are filtered across active MPV shortcuts, configured overlay shortcuts, and color legend items.
While the modal is open:
- `Esc`: close the modal (or clear the filter when text is entered)
- `↑/↓`, `j/k`: move selection
- Mouse/trackpad: click to select and activate rows
The list is generated at runtime from:
- Your active mpv keybindings (`keybindings`).
- Your configured overlay shortcuts (`shortcuts`, including runtime-loaded config values).
- Current subtitle color settings from `subtitleStyle`.
When config hot-reload updates shortcut/keybinding/style values, close and reopen the help modal to refresh the displayed entries.
### Runtime Option Palette
Use the runtime options palette to toggle settings live while SubMiner is running. These changes are session-only and reset on restart.
Current runtime options:
- `ankiConnect.behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` (`On` / `Off`)
- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.highlightEnabled` (`On` / `Off`)
- `subtitleStyle.enableJlpt` (`On` / `Off`)
- `subtitleStyle.frequencyDictionary.enabled` (`On` / `Off`)
- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.matchMode` (`headword` / `surface`)
- `ankiConnect.isKiku.fieldGrouping` (`auto` / `manual` / `disabled`)
Annotation toggles (`nPlusOne`, `enableJlpt`, `frequencyDictionary.enabled`) only apply to new subtitle lines after the toggle. The currently displayed line is not re-tokenized in place.
Default shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+O`
Palette controls:
- `Arrow Up/Down`: select option
- `Arrow Left/Right`: change selected value
- `Enter`: apply selected value
- `Esc`: close

### Auto-Start Overlay
Control whether the overlay automatically becomes visible when it connects to mpv:
Configure Jimaku API access and defaults:
```json
{
"auto_start_overlay": false
"jimaku": {
"apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"apiKeyCommand": "cat ~/.jimaku_key",
"apiBaseUrl": "https://jimaku.cc",
"languagePreference": "ja",
"maxEntryResults": 10
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `auto_start_overlay` | `true`, `false` | Auto-show overlay on mpv connection (default: `false`) |
Jimaku is rate limited; if you hit a limit, SubMiner will surface the retry delay from the API response.
The mpv plugin controls startup overlay visibility via `auto_start_visible_overlay` in `subminer.conf`.
For wrapper-driven playback, `subminer.conf` can also enable startup pause gating with
`auto_start_pause_until_ready` (requires `auto_start=yes` + `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`).
Current plugin defaults in `subminer.conf` are:
- `auto_start=yes`
- `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`
- `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`
Set `openBrowser` to `false` to only print the URL without opening a browser.

### Keybindings
Add a `keybindings` array to configure keyboard shortcuts that send commands to mpv:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options and more examples.
**Default keybindings:**
| Key | Command | Description |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `Space` | `["cycle", "pause"]` | Toggle pause |
| `KeyJ` | `["cycle", "sid"]` | Cycle primary subtitle track |
| `Shift+KeyJ` | `["cycle", "secondary-sid"]` | Cycle secondary subtitle track |
| `ArrowRight` | `["seek", 5]` | Seek forward 5 seconds |
| `ArrowLeft` | `["seek", -5]` | Seek backward 5 seconds |
| `ArrowUp` | `["seek", 60]` | Seek forward 60 seconds |
| `ArrowDown` | `["seek", -60]` | Seek backward 60 seconds |
| `Shift+KeyH` | `["sub-seek", -1]` | Jump to previous subtitle |
| `Shift+KeyL` | `["sub-seek", 1]` | Jump to next subtitle |
| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyH` | `["__replay-subtitle"]` | Replay current subtitle, pause at end |
| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyL` | `["__play-next-subtitle"]` | Play next subtitle, pause at end |
| `KeyQ` | `["quit"]` | Quit mpv |
| `Ctrl+KeyW` | `["quit"]` | Quit mpv |
**Custom keybindings example:**
```json
{
"keybindings": [
{ "key": "ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 5] },
{ "key": "ArrowLeft", "command": ["seek", -5] },
{ "key": "Shift+ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 30] },
{ "key": "KeyR", "command": ["script-binding", "immersive/auto-replay"] },
{ "key": "KeyA", "command": ["script-message", "ankiconnect-add-note"] }
]
}
```
**Key format:** Use `KeyboardEvent.code` values (`Space`, `ArrowRight`, `KeyR`, etc.) with optional modifiers (`Ctrl+`, `Alt+`, `Shift+`, `Meta+`).
**Disable a default binding:** Set command to `null`:
```json
{ "key": "Space", "command": null }
```
**Special commands:** Commands prefixed with `__` are handled internally by the overlay rather than sent to mpv. `__replay-subtitle` replays the current subtitle and pauses at its end. `__play-next-subtitle` seeks to the next subtitle, plays it, and pauses at its end. `__runtime-options-open` opens the runtime options palette. `__runtime-option-cycle:<id>[:next|prev]` cycles a runtime option value.
**Supported commands:** Any valid mpv JSON IPC command array (`["cycle", "pause"]`, `["seek", 5]`, `["script-binding", "..."]`, etc.)
For subtitle-position and subtitle-track proxy commands (`sub-pos`, `sid`, `secondary-sid`), SubMiner also shows an mpv OSD notification after the command runs.
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for more keybinding examples and configuration options.
### Runtime Option Palette
Use the runtime options palette to toggle settings live while SubMiner is running. These changes are session-only and reset on restart.
Current runtime options:
- `ankiConnect.behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` (`On` / `Off`)
- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.highlightEnabled` (`On` / `Off`)
- `subtitleStyle.enableJlpt` (`On` / `Off`)
- `subtitleStyle.frequencyDictionary.enabled` (`On` / `Off`)
- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.matchMode` (`headword` / `surface`)
- `ankiConnect.isKiku.fieldGrouping` (`auto` / `manual` / `disabled`)
Annotation toggles (`nPlusOne`, `enableJlpt`, `frequencyDictionary.enabled`) only apply to new subtitle lines after the toggle. The currently displayed line is not re-tokenized in place.
Default shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+O`
Palette controls:
- `Arrow Up/Down`: select option
- `Arrow Left/Right`: change selected value
- `Enter`: apply selected value
- `Esc`: close
### Secondary Subtitles
Display a second subtitle track (e.g., English alongside Japanese) in the overlay:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"secondarySub": {
"secondarySubLanguages": ["eng", "en"],
"autoLoadSecondarySub": true,
"defaultMode": "hover"
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `secondarySubLanguages` | string[] | Language codes to auto-load (e.g., `["eng", "en"]`) |
| `autoLoadSecondarySub` | `true`, `false` | Auto-detect and load matching secondary subtitle track |
| `defaultMode` | `"hidden"`, `"visible"`, `"hover"` | Initial display mode (default: `"hover"`) |
**Display modes:**
- **hidden** — Secondary subtitles not shown
- **visible** — Always visible at top of overlay
- **hover** — Only visible when hovering over the subtitle area (default)
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for additional secondary subtitle configuration options.
### Shortcuts Configuration

JLPT underlining is powered by offline term-meta bank files at runtime. See [`docs/jlpt-vocab-bundle.md`](jlpt-vocab-bundle.md) for required files, source/version refresh steps, and deterministic fallback behavior.
Frequency dictionary highlighting uses the same dictionary file format as JLPT bundle lookups (`term_meta_bank_*.json` under discovered dictionary directories). A token is highlighted when it has a positive integer `frequencyRank` (lower is more common) and the rank is within `topX`.
Lookup behavior:
- Set `frequencyDictionary.sourcePath` to a directory containing `term_meta_bank_*.json` for a fully custom source.
- If `sourcePath` is missing or empty, SubMiner searches default install/runtime locations for `frequency-dictionary` directories (for example app resources, user data paths, and current working directory).
- In both cases, only terms with a valid `frequencyRank` are used; everything else falls back to no highlighting.
- `frequencyDictionary.matchMode` controls which token text is used for frequency lookups: `headword` (dictionary form) or `surface` (visible subtitle text).
- Frequency highlighting skips tokens that look like non-lexical SFX/interjection noise (for example kana reduplication or short kana endings like `っ`), even when dictionary ranks exist.
In `single` mode all highlights use `singleColor`; in `banded` mode tokens map to five ascending color bands from most common to least common inside the topX window.
Secondary subtitle defaults: `fontFamily: "Manrope, Inter"`, `fontSize: 24`, `fontColor: "#cad3f5"`, `backgroundColor: "transparent"`. Any property not set in `secondary` falls back to the CSS defaults.
**See `config.example.jsonc`** for the complete list of subtitle style configuration options.
`jlptColors` keys are:
| Key | Default | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ----------------------- |
| `N1` | `#ed8796` | JLPT N1 underline color |
| `N2` | `#f5a97f` | JLPT N2 underline color |
| `N3` | `#f9e2af` | JLPT N3 underline color |
| `N4` | `#a6e3a1` | JLPT N4 underline color |
| `N5` | `#8aadf4` | JLPT N5 underline color |
### Texthooker
Control whether the browser opens automatically when texthooker starts:
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"texthooker": {
"openBrowser": true
}
}
```
### WebSocket Server
The overlay includes a built-in WebSocket server that broadcasts subtitle text to connected clients (such as texthooker-ui) for external processing.
By default, the server uses "auto" mode: it starts automatically unless [mpv_websocket](https://github.com/kuroahna/mpv_websocket) is detected at `~/.config/mpv/mpv_websocket`. If you have mpv_websocket installed, the built-in server is skipped to avoid conflicts.
See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
```json
{
"websocket": {
"enabled": "auto",
"port": 6677
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | `true`, `false`, `"auto"` | `"auto"` (default) disables if mpv_websocket is detected |
| `port` | number | WebSocket server port (default: 6677) |
### Startup Warmups
Control which startup warmups run in the background versus deferring to first real usage:
```json
{
"startupWarmups": {
"lowPowerMode": false,
"mecab": true,
"yomitanExtension": true,
"subtitleDictionaries": true,
"jellyfinRemoteSession": true
}
}
```
| Option | Values | Description |
| ----------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `lowPowerMode` | `true`, `false` | Defer all warmups except Yomitan extension |
| `mecab` | `true`, `false` | Warm up MeCab tokenizer at startup |
| `yomitanExtension` | `true`, `false` | Warm up Yomitan extension at startup |
| `subtitleDictionaries` | `true`, `false` | Warm up JLPT + frequency dictionaries at startup |
| `jellyfinRemoteSession` | `true`, `false` | Warm up Jellyfin remote session at startup (still requires Jellyfin remote auto-connect settings) |
Defaults warm everything (`true` for all toggles, `lowPowerMode: false`). Setting a warmup toggle to `false` defers that work until first usage.
