 ## About
 
-Since Star Citizen doesn't expose playtime statistics in-game, SCPlay parses your game log files to compute cumulative play sessions. It automatically detects your Star Citizen installation and calculates total time played across all sessions.
+Star Citizen doesn't show your total playtime, so SCPlay computes it from the game's log files. It auto-detects your installation, sums every session across LIVE / PTU / EPTU / TECH-PREVIEW, and reports the total in days, hours, minutes, or seconds.
 
-### Key Features
-
-- **Auto-detection** - Finds SC installations on multiple drives (C:, D:, E:, F:)
-- **Multi-environment** - Supports LIVE, PTU, EPTU, and TECH-PREVIEW
-- **Cross-platform** - Python version runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS
-- **Multiple formats** - View playtime as days, hours, minutes, or seconds
-- **Session details** - See individual session durations
+- **Auto-detection** — finds installs on any drive, including custom library folders (it reads the RSI Launcher log)
+- **All environments** — LIVE, PTU, EPTU, TECH-PREVIEW
+- **Cross-platform** — the Python build runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS
+- **Per-session breakdown** with one-click copy of the result

-## Installation
+## Run from Source
 
-### Python Version
-
-**Requirements:** Python 3.8+
+**Python** (3.10+):
 
 ```bash
-# Clone the repository
 git clone https://github.com/ckuma/scplay.git
 cd scplay/python
-
-# Install dependencies
 pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-# Run the application
-python sc_main.py
-```
-
-**Linux/macOS:**
-```bash
-chmod +x linux_start.sh
-./linux_start.sh
-```
-
-### C# Version
-
-**Requirements:** .NET Framework 4.8.1, Visual Studio 2022
-
-1. Open `csharp/StarCitizenPlaytimeCalculator.sln`
-2. Build the solution (`Ctrl+Shift+B`)
-3. Run from `bin/Release/`
-
----
-
-## Usage
-
-1. **Launch** the application
-2. **Select** your Star Citizen environment from the dropdown (auto-detected)
-3. **Click** "Calculate" to process log files
-4. **View** your total playtime and per-session breakdown
-5. **Copy** the result to clipboard if needed
-
----
-
-## Supported Installation Paths
-
-SCPlay automatically searches for Star Citizen in these locations:
-
-### Windows
-
-```
-{DRIVE}:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\{ENV}\logbackups
-{DRIVE}:\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\{ENV}\logbackups
+python sc_main.py        # Windows
+./linux_start.sh         # Linux / macOS (chmod +x first)
 ```
 
-- **Drives:** C:, D:, E:, F:
-- **Environments:** LIVE, PTU, EPTU, TECH-PREVIEW
-
-### Linux
+**C#** (.NET Framework 4.8.1 — Visual Studio 2022 or Build Tools):
 
 ```bash
-# Wine
-~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Roberts Space Industries/StarCitizen/{ENV}/logbackups
-
-# Lutris
-~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/*/drive_c/Program Files/Roberts Space Industries/StarCitizen/{ENV}/logbackups
-
-# Steam/Proton
-~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/*/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Roberts Space Industries/StarCitizen/{ENV}/logbackups
-```
-
-### macOS
-
-```bash
-# CrossOver
-~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/{BOTTLE}/drive_c/Program Files/Roberts Space Industries/StarCitizen/{ENV}/logbackups
+cd csharp
+msbuild StarCitizenPlaytimeCalculator.sln /p:Configuration=Release
+# or open the .sln in Visual Studio and build (Ctrl+Shift+B)
 ```

 ## How It Works
 
-SCPlay analyzes Star Citizen log files to calculate playtime:
-
-1. Scans all `*.log` files in the `logbackups` folder
-2. Includes the current session's `Game.log`
-3. Extracts timestamps using pattern: `<YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS...>`
-4. Calculates each session: `last_timestamp - first_timestamp`
-5. Sums all sessions for total playtime
-
-### Example
+SCPlay scans the `logbackups` folder (plus the current `Game.log`), extracts timestamps from each file, and sums `last − first` per session:
 
 ```
 <2024-11-19T14:30:00.123Z> [INFO] Client started...
-...
 <2024-11-19T16:45:30.456Z> [INFO] Client closing...
+→ Session: 2 hours, 15 minutes, 30 seconds
 ```
 
-**Session duration:** 2 hours, 15 minutes, 30 seconds
+**Detection** checks every fixed drive for the standard `Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen` layout and common custom roots (e.g. `Games\StarCitizen`), and reads the RSI Launcher log (`%APPDATA%\rsilauncher\logs\log.log`) to locate installs in any custom library folder. On Linux/macOS it checks the usual Wine, Lutris, Proton, and CrossOver prefixes.

-## Building from Source
+## Building Executables
 
-### Python Executable (Windows)
+**Python** (PyInstaller):
 
 ```bash
 cd python
-pip install pyinstaller
-pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name "SCPlaytime" --add-data "resources;resources" sc_main.py
+pip install pyinstaller==6.21.0
+pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name "SCPlaytime" \
+  --add-data "resources:resources" \
+  --hidden-import "PIL._tkinter_finder" \
+  sc_main.py
+# On Windows, use --add-data "resources;resources"
 ```
 
-Output: `dist/SCPlaytime.exe`
+The `--hidden-import "PIL._tkinter_finder"` is required, or the frozen build crashes on startup.
 
-### C# Release Build
+**C#:**
 
 ```bash
 cd csharp
 msbuild StarCitizenPlaytimeCalculator.sln /p:Configuration=Release
 ```
 
-Output: `bin/Release/StarCitizenPlaytimeCalculator.exe`
-

-
-## CI/CD
-
-This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically build releases:
-
-- **On tag push** (`v*`) - Creates a GitHub Release with 3 executables (Python Windows, Python Linux, C# Windows)
-- **On PR** - Validates builds
-
-To create a new release:
-
-```bash
-git tag v4.0
-git push origin v4.0
-```
+Releases are automated: pushing a `v*` tag runs GitHub Actions, which builds all three executables and publishes a GitHub Release. Pull requests are build-validated.
