Congratulations that you decided on OTR-Homeloader!

OTR Homeloader

OTR-Homeloader will download your files from the web page www.homeloadtv.com ever in your absence.
Please pay attention to the following tips and settings:

If you are using unistallable version (zip), unpack the zip-file 'OTR_Homeloader_EN.zip' at a suitable place - for example at your desktop. If it concerns an update, you have 2 folders now: the old folder 'OTR-Homeloader' and a new folder with version date in its name, for example 'OTR-Homeloader_20.04.2010'. Move the files 'HomeloadLog.log' and 'MultidecoderLog.log' from the old folder into the new one provided that you want these files to be continued. If you carried out some changes in the folder 'rss' (downloaded new rss-feeds or created new linklist-files), move the folder 'rss' from the old program folder in the new one too. Afterwards, you can delete the old folder. Rename the new folder now by leaving only 'OTR-Homeloader' (delete version date) in its name. This measure serves for the fact that you must not carry out any changes in the set paths after every update.

If you installed this application with the installer, you can set the auto update option in the dialog 'Configure Download Parameters' (menu 'Settings/Config. download ...').

If you use OTR-Homeloader for the first time, some settings are necessary (these will remain unchanged after an update):

Settings

Click now the menu 'Homeload / Homeload settings'. Here you can carry out the settings for the download behavior of the OTR-Homeloader while downloading of crypted files from the OTR-servers.

If a download is broken off at the end of the happy hours, this can be continued to the next happy hours provided that you will leave temporary files in the download folder - don't select the option for deleting of temporary files! Otherwise, the temporary file will be removed and the uncompleted download must be restarted.
Please don't forget to input your login data for www.onlinetvrecorder.com and to save them.

Folders

The decoder contained in the program folder decodes your ready downloads automatically into the folder 'homeload'. You will find the original crypted files in the subfolder 'otr_omr_yom'. Please delete the downloaded files only after removing of the corresponding download links from the list of the finished downloads on the website www.homeloadtv.com. Nevertheless, you can also use your personal settings of the decoder. Your access data for the OTR-services (www.onlinetvrecorder.com) must be saved within the decoder settings in order to get your crypted downloads decoded. You can carry out the settings of the decoders by using its settings dialog.

The small program 'OTRH_Monitoring.exe' can supervise OTR-Homeloader and restart it, if it has been shutted down unintentionally. You can decide yourself whether you use the guard.

Please note that the OTR servers settings allow to download only one file at the same time from one server! Parallel downloads are possible only via torrent or mirror.

The applications 'OTRHomeloader.exe', '2009Decoder.exe' and 'OTRH_Monitoring.exe' must be in the common program folder 'OTR-Homeloader', to work according to your settings. There is a Firefox addon for HomeloadTV in this folder. Installable version installs this addon in Firefox when installing.
