MediaPuller Helper Portable
===========================

System requirements
-------------------
Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit.

Install and run
---------------
1. Extract the complete MediaPuller.Helper folder from the ZIP archive.
2. Keep MediaPuller.Helper.exe and the tools folder together. Do not move or
   delete tools\yt-dlp.exe.
3. Run MediaPuller.Helper.exe from the extracted folder.
4. Look for the MediaPuller icon in the Windows notification area (system tray).

MediaPuller Helper has no main window and does not install a Windows service.
It listens only on this computer at 127.0.0.1:27183 so the MediaPuller website
can process supported media through the user's own connection.

Updates
-------
Helper does not check for updates in the background. Use "Check for updates"
from the tray menu when you want to check manually.

To install a newer version:
1. Choose Exit in the tray menu.
2. Download the current portable ZIP from https://mediapuller.com/mediapuller-helper
3. Extract it and replace the old MediaPuller.Helper folder.
4. Start MediaPuller.Helper.exe again.

Security
--------

The portable package does not require administrator rights, does not create a
Windows service, and does not add itself to Windows startup.
