Email support@rurimecha.top ↗Frequently asked questions
Does Ruri provide audio content?
Ruri organizes and plays media files you provide. It does not provide audio work downloads.
Can I use Ruri without a trial license?
The built-in administrator can still use the website and WebDAV. Additional accounts, Android online playback, and saved clips require a valid server license.
How do I move to another server?
Open Server license on the old server and deactivate first, then enter the original key on the new server. If the old server cannot start, email us.
