User Guide
This guide is for anyone watching or listening on Loombre — no technical background needed.
Loombre is where your movies, shows, and music live. This guide walks through the everyday things you'll do: finding something to watch, playing it, browsing your music, and using restricted content if the person who runs your Loombre has turned it on for you.
Every page uses plain language on purpose. If you ever see a word you don't recognize, that's a mistake in this guide — please report it.
What's in this guide
- Joining Loombre — using a link you were given, and getting back in if you forget your password.
- Account settings — changing your name, password, and email, and why big changes ask for your password again.
- Browsing your library — finding movies, shows, and music.
- Watching — playing something, picking up where you left off, subtitles.
- Watching away from home — using your Loombre when you're not on your home network.
- Listening to music — albums, artists, and playlists.
- Restricted content — content that needs a PIN, and how it's kept private.
- Browsing the restricted zone — finding your way around once it's unlocked.
- Why is this converting? — what that message means when it shows up.
Banners and announcements
Sometimes a message appears at the top of the page — or over what you're watching — like "The server will restart in about 5 minutes." That's the person who runs your Loombre giving everyone a heads-up. If it has a countdown, the message changes to "restarting now" when it reaches zero — the countdown itself doesn't interrupt anything. Playback only pauses briefly when the person running your Loombre actually restarts the server, and it comes back on its own afterwards.
Something not working?
If Loombre isn't behaving the way this guide describes, the person who set up your Loombre (a family member, a friend, or yourself) can look into it. They may want the Admin Guide or the Operator Guide, which go into more depth than this guide does.
