-# Random scripts
+# SVT Play Stream Launcher
+
+A simple tool that lets you watch SVT Play programs directly in a video player.
+
+## What It Does
+
+This script makes it easy to search for and watch SVT Play programs. Instead of opening a web browser, you can:
+
+1. Search for a program by name
+2. Browse popular programs
+3. Select what you want to watch
+4. It opens in your video player automatically
+
+## What You Need
+
+Before using this script, make sure you have these programs installed:
+
+- `yt-dlp` - Downloads video information
+- `mpv` - Video player
+- `zenity` - Creates the dialog windows
+- `jq` - Processes data
+- `curl` - Downloads information
+
+The script will tell you if something is missing and how to install it.
+
+## How to Use It
+
+### Start the script
+
+```bash
+./svt.sh
+```
+
+A window will appear with two options:
+- **Search for Program** - Type the name of what you want to watch
+- **Browse Popular Programs** - See what's trending on SVT Play
+
+### Example: Searching for a program
+
+1. Click "Search for Program"
+2. Type what you want (like "Wallander" or "News")
+3. Wait 10-20 seconds for results (this is normal, the server is a bit slow)
+4. Click on the program you want
+5. It automatically opens in your video player
+6. Enjoy!
+
+### Example: Browsing popular programs
+
+1. Click "Browse Popular Programs" 
+2. Wait for the list to load (10-20 seconds)
+3. Scroll through and pick something
+4. Press OK and it starts playing
+
+## If Something Goes Wrong
+
+### "Missing required tools"
+You need to install something. The script will tell you exactly what to install. On Arch Linux:
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S yt-dlp mpv zenity jq curl
+```
+
+On Ubuntu/Debian:
+```bash
+sudo apt install yt-dlp mpv zenity jq curl
+```
+
+### "Program not found"
+The program you searched for doesn't exist or isn't available on SVT Play right now.
+
+### "Nothing happens after clicking OK"
+This is usually just the server being slow. Wait a bit longer. The script is still working.
+
+### "Video player doesn't open"
+Make sure mpv is installed. Check with: `which mpv`
+
+## See What's Happening
+
+The script keeps a log of everything it's doing. If you want to see what's going on:
+
+```bash
+tail -f ~/.svtplay.log
+```
+
+This shows you all the activity in real-time. Good for understanding what the script is doing.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Video plays in mpv, which is a lightweight video player
+- Everything is logged to `~/.svtplay.log` 
+- The program searches the actual SVT Play website, not a saved list
+- Searching and loading takes 10-20 seconds because the server is slow - this is normal
