User interface

Control dashboard cards, help visibility, and HTTP/HTTPS mode for the web app.

Use this page to control what the CrossWatch web app shows and how it is served.

Most changes apply after you click Save.

Protocol and TLS changes need a restart.

Dashboard

These toggles only change the UI.

They do not change sync or scrobble behavior.

Watchlist

Show or hide the Watchlist preview card on the main dashboard.

Playing card

Show or hide the footer Now Playing card.

This does not disable Watcher or playback tracking.

Help ASK AI

Show or hide the ASK AI entry in the help UI.

Protocol

UI protocol

Choose how CrossWatch serves the web app.

• HTTP — best when a reverse proxy already handles HTTPS

• HTTPS (self-signed) — CrossWatch serves HTTPS directly with its own certificate

If you switch between HTTP and HTTPS, update any webhook or callback URL that points to CrossWatch.

Advanced TLS

Use Advanced next to the protocol setting for certificate controls.

That includes:

• self-signed vs custom certificate mode

• hostname and SAN values

• cert and key file paths

• certificate download and regeneration

• path validation and TLS status

Restart CrossWatch after changing protocol, certificate mode, hostname, SANs, or cert paths.

Use HTTPS/TLS for the full TLS guide, including certificate trust, reverse proxy setup, and troubleshooting.
