##installation

Download compiled .jar and execute it. HomeFlix will ask for a main directory and then restart. Now you can use all functions of HomeFlix.

##Linux if you want play videos out of HomeFLix you must install VLC media player

##streaming
in HomeFlix 0.3.7 plasma bucket a basic streaming support has been integrated. This allows you to sort your favourite streaming title in HomeFLix. The streaming URL and a few other parameters are saved in a .json file.
Here is a example of this file:

{	
	"entries":[
	{
		"titel":"Big Buck Bunny",
		"year":2008,
		"season":0,
        "episode":0,
		"resolution":"1080p60",
		"streamUrl":"http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4"
	},
	{
		"titel":"Big Buck Bunny",
		"year":2008,
		"season":0,
        "episode":0,
		"resolution":"2160p60",
		"streamUrl":"http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4"
	}
]
}

feel free to create own .json files of your favourite pages
