Démarrer la série Lock

Ce que vous allez réaliser

Series Lock helps a group avoid moving to the next episode before everyone is ready. It keeps track of episode completion for the participants you choose and checks that progress when a participant starts an episode.

You can include profiles on your Odyssey account and accepted Odyssey friends. A friend joins using a profile on their own account. Each person still needs authorised access to the series through their own available source. Odyssey supplies no media, and a lock invitation does not supply provider access or media rights.

Avant que vous commenciez

Use a profile connected to your Odyssey account. Series Lock requires at least two selections in total, including your own profile. A second household profile or an accepted friend can be the other participant.

The series also needs an exact metadata match and a complete episode list. Metadata is the identifying information that connects the title to the correct series, seasons and episodes. If the title is incorrectly matched, fix that before creating the lock.

Si vous souhaitez permettre Require un PIN de profil pour Watch Anyway, set up a profile PIN for every selected household profile first. A friend accepting a protected lock also needs a PIN for the profile they choose.

Créer le lock

1. Open the series information page. On iPhone, iPad or Mac (Catalyst), choose La série Lock. On Apple TV, open the ⋯ Menu et choix La série Lock.
2. Choisir un support partagé Mode: séparément pour une séance individuelle ou Ensemble for shared completion. If your app also shows Personal, read its Limitation actuelle des services avant de l’utiliser.
3. Déterminer si vous pouvez Require un PIN de profil pour Watch Anyway.
4. Sous Profils sur ce compte, select the participating profiles. Your active profile is already selected.
5. Sous Les amis sur d'autres comptes d'OdysseySélectionnez les amis acceptés que vous souhaitez inviter.
6. Choisir La série Lock and wait for the result. A disabled button usually means that fewer than two participants are selected or a request is still in progress.

The restricted profiles labelled Kids profiles can participate in household locks. Selecting one prevents adding friends from other accounts; their progress is not shared through that cross-account flow. These restriction controls do not change Odyssey’s 18+ access requirement.

Choisir la bonne règle de progrès

dans séparément, each participant finishes episodes on their own profile. Someone who is ahead waits until the others have completed the earlier episodes. Watching a later episode does not erase a gap earlier in the series.

dans Ensemble, an episode marked watched by one participant is treated as watched for all joined participants. Existing completion is considered when the lock is created, and joining a Together lock can also merge existing completion. Agree on your starting point before selecting this mode.

Series Lock tracks episode completion. It does not create a synchronised playback session. Use Watch Party Si vous souhaitez partager les contrôles de playback.

Exemple de travail

Alex and Morgan are watching a six-episode drama on separate evenings. Alex creates a Separately lock and selects Morgan’s profile. Both finish episode one. Alex then finishes episode two while Morgan has not. When Alex tries episode three, the lock shows who is still being waited for.

Morgan completes episode two on the participating profile. Once that completion reaches the service, episode three becomes available within the shared pace. Merely opening episode two or starting it briefly is not the same as completing it.

Récupérer, étendre ou supprimer le lock

Retour à la série et sélectionnez Gestion de la série Lock. You can also open Configuration → Profils → Gestion de Profils Familiers → My Series Locks. The management screen shows participants, their next episode, watched-ahead counts and invitations still awaiting acceptance.

Le créateur peut Récupérer de nouveaux épisodes from that series to add newly available episodes after the existing ordered list. This is useful when a new episode appears after you created the lock.

Le créateur voit Récupérer le lock• un autre participant admissible Laissez le lock. Removing the lock ends its waiting rule. Leaving removes your participation. Neither action supplies or deletes the source media. You cannot edit the mode or participant selection in place in the version covered here. Review the group before creating the lock.

Si quelque chose ne fonctionne pas

La série ne peut pas être fermée : check its metadata match and reload its episode list. The app rejects a partial or uncertain list instead of guessing an order.

Un ami est en manque : d’abord confirmé la demande d’ami Les amis et les invitations. An outstanding friend request is different from an accepted friendship and a Series Lock invitation.

Le bloc ne peut pas se déguiser : check the account connection and try again. Access is checked with the service before playback; an offline or failed check is not confirmation that the group has caught up.

Un participant apparaît à l’avant : check the participating profile and existing watched history. Together and Separately intentionally treat completion differently.

Réponse rapide

Puis-je bloquer une série uniquement pour moi-même ? Shared Together and Separately locks require at least two participants. Newer apps also show Personal, but the deployed service does not yet accept it. See Serrures et codes PIN personnels Pour les limites.

Puis-je surmonter une attendre ? Regardez en tout cas can approve the requested episode. A protected lock asks for that profile’s PIN. It does not unlock the whole app session.
