Create your first Channel Studio channel

Ce que vous ferez

Channel Studio turns selected media from your connected libraries into a scheduled channel. You decide what can enter it and how the programmes are arranged. Odyssey prepares a schedule from eligible content, then asks you to publish it before it becomes a Live channel.

A saved recipe and a published schedule are separate. A recipe records your selection and rules; publication makes a reviewed schedule available for watching. Keeping this distinction in mind makes the rest of the workflow much clearer.

Vérifier les précautions

Use a profile with access to supported, enabled sources. Channel Studio supports Jellyfin, Emby and Plex, with availability for additional connections depending on their compatibility and configuration. Silo uses its Jellyfin-compatible connection. Ordinary Xtream playback support does not imply Channel Studio support: Xtream cannot be used to create these channels in the app version covered here.

The app needs content it can inspect and prepare, not just a title that happens to appear in discovery. Profile restrictions apply to the playable selection. When Kids or parental protection requires it, Odyssey asks for owner PIN approval before protected channel changes. Use the appropriate profile and approval when prompted.

For shared channels and the online editor, you also need a managed profile. Check this guide’s version notes if your installed app offers different controls.

Choisissez une petite première collection

1. Ouvrir Settings → Odyssey Channel Studio → Open Channel Studio.
2. Choisir Créer un canal.
3. Entrée A Nom du canal. Leave Numéro de canal - Automatique vide si vous voulez que l’application attribue un numéro.
4. Sélection contenu à Films, Épisodes série ou Films et séries.
5. Ouvrir Choisissez les sources et le contenu. Select supported sources and the content selection you want the channel to use.
6. Retournez à l’éditeur et vérifiez les sources et les sélectionnements affichés dans le contenu.

For a first attempt, choose a modest, recognisable selection. That makes it easier to understand why a programme was included or excluded and avoids troubleshooting several sources at once.

Choisir l'ordre et l'histoire du comportement

Le simple Ordre Les choix incluent Le loop continu, Séquentiel, Chaque cycle de Shuffle, Une fois, puis boucle et Shuffle montre, garde l'ordre de l'épisode. Choose an order that matches the purpose of the channel. A serial drama generally benefits from preserving episode order.

Utiliser Edit calendrier for more structured schedules, including alternating groups, marathons or weekly time windows. The dedicated Guide de calendrier Il explique les conséquences de chaque choix.

Sous Programme de sélection, Tous les programmes Utilisez la sélection éligible sans filtre surveillé. Préférez les non-observés Il ne revient aux programmes surveillés que lorsque aucun programme non surveillé ne reste. Exclusion observée est plus stricte. Continuez chaque séance en ordre skips watched opening episodes and preserves episode order. These choices use the current profile’s history when preparation happens; prepare again to incorporate later history changes.

Écrivez, réviser et publier

1. Choisir Terminer in the channel editor. This saves the channel settings and starts the review flow.
2. Wait for preparation. If you need to stop, use Préparation de pauseLes paramètres sauvés restent disponibles.
3. Inspecteur Résumé du canalLe début proposé et le Prévisions de calendrier. Review any Non inclus Les raisons.
4. Lorsque la prévision est prête, choisissez Publication de la chaîne. An existing channel uses Changements républicains.
5. Attendre un résultat confirmé comme Channels publiés ou Le canal prévuPuis choisissez Terminer.
6. Ouvrir Live → Channel Studio to find the published channel. The saved-channel list can also offer Voir Live Pour un canal activé avec un calendrier sauvé.

Saving is not publication, and a publication request is not confirmed merely because it was sent. If the screen offers Vérifier la publicationUtilisez-le pour résoudre la demande initiale avant de faire une autre modification.

Un exemple de travail : un week-end de comédie

Choose a small comedy collection from your permitted home server and name the channel “Weekend comedy”. Start with Movies and a simple loop. Review the prepared lineup and check that the films you expected are present. A missing item may have been excluded because it could not be prepared or is not permitted for the profile.

Publish only after the preview makes sense. On your next visit, consider a different order or an evening time window. The original source films remain in their library: the channel is another way to schedule and play them, not a new copy of the media.

Changer ou quitter le flux de travail

Before saving, use the available Close or platform back action to leave the editor. On non-TV platforms the editor’s Fermer action cancels the editing session and is disabled during the actual save commit. During preparation, Pause Preparation is the clearer action.

Une fois que les paramètres sont sauvegardés, utilisez Réglages from the saved-state view or reopen the channel to edit them. Existing published channels keep their current schedule until new changes are published. Do not delete the saved channel merely to stop a preparation attempt.

Problèmes et questions communs

Le canal est désactivé : check for an enabled source supported by Channel Studio and a valid profile context. Adding an unsupported source does not enable the action.

L’approbation du propriétaire est requise : use the appropriate adult profile and owner PIN. Aucun programme de jeu ne reste : la disponibilité de la source, les restrictions du profil et les règles choisies; un filtre très étroit peut tout exclure.

La prévision est terminée : Utiliser Développement de prévision ou Rétablir la prévision où il a été proposé. Le canal est sauvé mais manquant de Live : Vérifier si elle a été publiée et activée.

Mon canal fournit-il des médias à une autre personne ? No. A channel recipe, account connection or invitation does not create provider access or media rights. Puis-je ne pas publier ? This guide does not promise a one-click rollback. Edit the settings and publish a new reviewed schedule, or use the available channel management controls deliberately.
