It opens full screen, remembers where you were, and behaves like
an app instead of a web page.

The first sign-in password has not been changed yet. Set your own below.
Hidden from me
Tick a profile and your own view
becomes what that profile sees — every word and folder in it at once.
Tick several and anything any of them hides is hidden. This changes only
your view; nobody else is affected, and anything not caught stays visible.
Individual titles, if you need them:
People
Add someone
Access profiles
Set the rules once here, then assign a profile to as many people as you like.
Media folders
Extra library
A second set of films, given out by name.
It has its own tab, its own history, and is invisible to anyone you have not
given it — including other administrators.
What everyone sees
Show the title count
On, everybody sees how many titles the library holds. Off, that
number is yours alone — people still see everything their access allows.
Quality & data
On Wi-Fi
Where a title starts when you have not picked a size for it yourself
On mobile data
Used whenever this device reports a cellular connection
Remember per title
A size chosen while watching stays with that title. Off, every title
starts from the two settings above.
Playback
Autoplay next
Roll into the next episode when one ends
Autoplay on tap
Tapping a title starts it straight away. Remembered for your account on every device.
Rebuild posters
Re-reads artwork for the whole server. Everyone sees the
result, so this is an administrator action.
Watch history
Resume positions kept on this server

About
Hearth
A private media server, for one family.
Everything here lives on a machine at home — your films, what you have
watched, where you stopped. Nothing is sent anywhere else, nothing is
tracked, and there is nobody to sell it to. It works without the
internet: what the house can reach, the house can watch.
Made for us.

Profile ·
Administrators are never filtered. To check a rule is
working, look at the count beside a standard account in People, or the
list below.
Folders they can watch
Nothing ticked means every folder.
Largest picture
Maximum quality
The biggest picture this account is ever sent. Asking for more
is answered at this size, whatever device it comes from.
Needs streaming conversion to be on: shrinking a
picture is conversion. With it off, files play at their own size.
Blocked words
Hidden if any of these appears in the name, description, folder or channel.
Near misses count too, so h0rror, horor and H.o.r.r.o.r are all caught.
Allowed words
Leave empty for no restriction. If filled, only titles matching one of these are visible.
Remove individual titles
These are hidden for this profile whatever the words say.
