- **Source Settings**: User created subtitles are provided from the uploader and are usually the video script. Auto generated is from YouTube, quality varies, particularly for auto translated tracks.
- **Index Settings**: Enabling subtitle indexing will add the lines to Elasticsearch and will make subtitles searchable. This will increase the index size and is not recommended on low-end hardware.
## Comments
- **Download and index comments**: Set your configuration for downloading and indexing comments. This takes the same values as documented in the `max_comments` section for the youtube extractor of [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#youtube). Add without space between the four different fields: *max-comments,max-parents,max-replies,max-replies-per-thread*. Example:
- `all,100,all,30`: Get 100 max-parents and 30 max-replies-per-thread.
- `1000,all,all,50`: Get a total of 1000 comments over all, 50 replies per thread.
- **Comment sort method**: Change sort method between *top* or *new*. The default is *top*, as decided by YouTube.
- The [Refresh Metadata](#refresh-metadata) background task will get comments from your already archived videos, spreading the requests out over time.
Archiving comments is slow as only very few comments get returned per request with yt-dlp. Choose your configuration above wisely. Tube Archivist will download comments after the download queue finishes, your videos will be already available while the comments are getting downloaded.
## Cookie
Importing your YouTube Cookie into Tube Archivist allows yt-dlp to bypass age restrictions, gives access to private videos and your *watch later* or *liked videos*.
