For power users, you can modify an install by editing the decisions.xml or tree.json file inside the collection folder (found in %APPDATA%\LifeSelector\Collections\).

Warning: Editing these files breaks the DRM checksum. Only do this on DRM-free "backup" editions. You can reverse engineer the logic to unlock all scenes immediately (skipping timers).

The first launch will prompt you for:

Step 1: Disable Antivirus Temporarily (Important) Many anti-malware tools flag the LifeSelector Collection's web crawlers as false positives. Temporarily disable Real-time protection or add an exclusion folder (e.g., C:\LifeSelector).

Step 2: Install Prerequisites via Chocolatey (Easiest) Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
choco install python nodejs ffmpeg git -y

Step 3: Clone the Repository

cd C:\
git clone https://github.com/[official-repo]/lifeselector-collection.git
cd lifeselector-collection

Step 4: Run the Installer Script

python install.py --full

Wait for the dependency resolver to download all required packages (this may take 5–10 minutes).

Step 5: Launch the Application

python run.py

The dashboard will open at http://localhost:5000.

Concept: The Collection Manager is an organizational and enhancement system that allows users to group individual episodes into custom playlists ("Collections") while tracking progress, favorite moments, and specific narrative branches. It moves the experience from a "streaming" mindset to a "library ownership" mindset.
