Providers

Connect services CrossWatch supports and jump to docs for authentication, media servers, trackers, metadata, and adapters.

Providers are the integrations CrossWatch talks to.

Connect providers in Settings → Authentication.

Then pick two providers in a pair.

Recommended first setup: 1 media server + 1 tracker. Validate one clean run. Then add more.

How providers fit together

  • Providers: credentials + URLs needed to call APIs.

  • Pairs: the rules (source, target, features, safety settings).

  • Runs: manual or scheduled executions of your pairs.

Providers do nothing on their own.

Pairs are what sync and scrobble.

Tips

  • Add Metadata early. Better IDs mean better matching.

  • Connect only what you use. Each provider adds API calls and state.

  • Prefer URLs reachable from the CrossWatch host/container (LAN IP > hostname).

  • If something feels risky, start with one-way + dry run in your first pair.
