Home and Settings
New here
What Home tells you after setup, and where each setting lives.
Home
Link to HomeThe switch at the top shows Home or System.
Until setup is done, Home lists what is left, each linking to its screen:
- Choose a Library folder
- Add a Source
- Add a Downloader
- Add your first title
Import what you have adds folders of media you already own.
After setup, Home shows:
| Card | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Needs attention or All good | Problems to fix, or none |
| Downloads | How many are waiting, downloading and importing |
| Sources and Downloaders | How many are working |
| Coming up | Air dates and releases; the owner gets a link to the Calendar |
| Shortcuts | Explore, trending, Calendar, Search |
| Uptime | How long HolyArrs has been running |
Home updates by itself. If a card says Could not read, press Try again.
