Schedules
The Schedules page is where you configure CLU's recurring background jobs — file-index rebuilds, the GetComics scrape index, Metron series sync, GetComics auto-download, and reading-list sync.
Open it from the gear menu in the top navigation → Schedules.
Times are local, stored as UTC
All schedule times are entered in your local timezone (set on the Personalization page) and stored internally as UTC. If your times look off, check that your timezone is set correctly.
Moved in v6.0
Scheduling used to live on the System & Performance settings tab. In v6.0 it has its own dedicated Schedules page, and a new GetComics Scrape Index schedule was added.
Every schedule works the same way:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Disabled, Daily, or Weekly. Disabled turns the job off. |
| Time | The time of day (your timezone) to run the job. |
| Day of Week | Only shown when frequency is Weekly — which day the job runs. |
| Save | Persists that schedule. Each schedule has its own Save button. |
Index & Sync Management
This card manages CLU's SQLite file search index and the jobs that keep your library data current.
Index Status
At the top you'll see the current Index Status (file and directory counts), the Last Rebuild time, and the Next Scheduled rebuild. Use Refresh Status to re-check.
Warning
New files won't appear in search or the metadata browser until the index includes them. Either rebuild manually or set an automatic schedule.
Rebuild File Index Now
Click Rebuild File Index Now to immediately scan your entire data directory and rebuild the index. Use this if search results seem outdated.
Automatic Rebuild Schedule
Set how often CLU rebuilds the file index automatically (Frequency / Time / Day of Week), then Save Schedule. Default is Disabled.
GetComics Scrape Index Schedule
The scrape index pre-populates a local cache of GetComics results — page titles, issue info, and download links — for your tracked series by scraping sitemap URLs. With it populated, wanted-issue searches can answer from the local cache instead of hitting GetComics live every time.
The status area shows how many entries are cached and the next scheduled run. Set the Frequency / Time / Day of Week and click Save Scrape Index Schedule.
New in v6.0
The GetComics scrape index and its schedule are new in v6.0.
Automatic Series Sync Schedule
Configures how often CLU syncs your tracked series from the Metron API to check for new issues and updated details. Set the schedule and Save Sync Schedule, or click Sync Now to run it immediately. The last sync and next run are shown below the buttons.
GetComics Auto-Download Schedule
Configures how often CLU searches GetComics for wanted issues (with today's release date or later) and queues downloads. Set the schedule and Save GetComics Schedule, or click Download Now to run it immediately.
Weekly Packs takes over
If Weekly Packs is enabled, individual-issue auto-download is disabled and this section is greyed out — a banner links you to Manage Weekly Packs. Disable Weekly Packs to re-enable per-issue auto-download here.
Downloaded files are moved to the Series Folder once processed, and metadata is added at that time if missing.
Reading List Sync Schedule
Automatically syncs GitHub-sourced reading lists so CLU can detect upstream changes. Set the Frequency / Time / Day of Week and click Save Reading List Sync Schedule.
