a while — it is a typeahead field in the Advanced Options panel.

* __DOWNLOAD_DIR__: Path to where the downloads will be saved. Defaults to `/downloads` in the Docker image, and `.` otherwise.
* __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__: Path to where audio-only downloads will be saved, if you wish to separate them from the video downloads. Defaults to the value of `DOWNLOAD_DIR`.
* __CUSTOM_DIRS__: Whether to enable downloading videos into custom directories within the __DOWNLOAD_DIR__ (or __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__). When enabled, a dropdown appears next to the Add button to specify the download directory. Defaults to `true`.
* __CUSTOM_DIRS__: Whether to enable downloading videos into custom directories within the __DOWNLOAD_DIR__ (or __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__). When enabled, a **Download Folder** field appears under **Advanced Options**, where the directory for each download can be specified. Defaults to `true`.
* __CREATE_CUSTOM_DIRS__: Whether to support automatically creating directories within the __DOWNLOAD_DIR__ (or __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__) if they do not exist. When enabled, the download directory selector supports free-text input, and the specified directory will be created recursively. Defaults to `true`.
* __CUSTOM_DIRS_EXCLUDE_REGEX__: Regular expression to exclude some custom directories from the dropdown. Empty regex disables exclusion. Defaults to `(^|/)[.@].*$`, which means directories starting with `.` or `@`.
* __CUSTOM_DIRS_EXCLUDE_REGEX__: Regular expression to exclude some custom directories from the folder field's suggestions. Empty regex disables exclusion. Defaults to `(^|/)[.@].*$`, which means directories starting with `.` or `@`.
* __DEFAULT_FOLDER__: Custom directory to pre-select in the download folder field, relative to __DOWNLOAD_DIR__ (or __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__), for when most downloads go to the same place. It is only a starting value — the field stays editable, so any other folder can still be picked per download. Requires __CUSTOM_DIRS__; ignored with a warning otherwise. Defaults to empty, i.e. the base download directory.
* __DOWNLOAD_DIRS_INDEXABLE__: If `true`, the download directories (__DOWNLOAD_DIR__ and __AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR__) are indexable on the web server. Defaults to `false`.
* __STATE_DIR__: Path to where MeTube will store its persistent state files (`queue.json`, `pending.json`, `completed.json`, `subscriptions.json`). Defaults to `/downloads/.metube` in the Docker image, and `.` otherwise.
