Help and settings wizard

There is a very detailed help manual explaining every single setting and feature (besides our own club forum where people posts with questions, feature requests etc)

The application is updated regularly, including an auto-updater which detects new updates and auto-downloads them. Amongst the upcoming features is full support for remote controls to perform various actions (play next ep etc). This will be very useful for people with Media Center pcs without keyboard/mouse

Cpu/Ram usage: being a native win32 application, it doesn’t use the bulky .net framework, thus using very little CPU and RAM: (idle, logged in with 328 anime)
