Comprendre les épisodes d'attente et regarder en tout cas

Pourquoi un épisode attend

This guide describes shared Together and Separately locks. Newer apps can also show Personal-only unlock controls; the Guide de lock personnel Il explique leur portée différente et la limitation actuelle du service.

A waiting episode means a Series Lock participant has not completed the earlier episode needed for the group to continue. In Separately mode, every participant owns their completion. In Together mode, completion is shared among joined participants.

The waiting rule uses the ordered episode list and earlier completed episodes. Watching ahead does not automatically fill an earlier gap. You may therefore see a watched-ahead count alongside a next episode that appears much earlier.

Voyez la raison d’abord

1. When Odyssey shows Série Locked, read the waiting message. It may name the participants who need to catch up.
2. Choisir Continuez à attendre Si vous voulez respecter le rythme existant.
3. Ouvrez la série et choisissez Gestion de la série Lock. On Apple TV, this is in the ⋯ Le menu.
4. Vérifiez le mode, l’épisode suivant de chaque participant, les comptes d’attente et les invitations attendues.
5. Si quelqu'un a terminé l'épisode, confirmer qu'ils ont utilisé le profil participant et que leur progrès pourrait atteindre le service.

An invitation awaiting acceptance is different from a joined participant with incomplete progress. Manage Series Lock helps you distinguish the two.

Approuvez l’épisode demandé

1. Essayez de jouer l’épisode que vous allez regarder.
2. dans Série LockedEntrée This profile’s PIN Si le lock le demande.
3. Choisir Regardez en tout cas.
4. Wait for the check to finish. If approved, Odyssey resumes the requested playback action.

The approval applies to that exact episode and playback attempt. It is not an app-session unlock. The server authorises the specified series and episode. The app then consumes a short-lived, single-use approval for that request. A later episode must pass its own check.

Keep the active profile unchanged during the prompt. Changing profiles or account access invalidates the context of an outstanding approval. A profile-entry PIN unlock and an Adult-section PIN session are separate controls.

Exemple de travail

Avery has completed episode three; Chris has only completed episodes one and two. Avery tries episode four and sees a wait for Chris. Avery chooses Keep Waiting for their planned shared viewing routine.

On another occasion, both agree Avery can watch ahead. Avery tries episode four again, enters their own profile PIN if required and chooses Watch Anyway. That approval does not mark Chris’s earlier episode complete. It does not give Avery unrestricted access to episode five. Later progress still follows the selected Together or Separately rule.

Quand l’approbation échoue

“Check your PIN and connection”: verify that you are using the PIN for the active participating profile. A source password, full management code or another profile’s PIN is not a replacement.

Le bouton est désactivé : a protected challenge requires a non-empty PIN, and controls remain disabled while the request is running. Wait for the result before trying again.

L’accès ne peut pas être vérifié : reconnect and retry. The app checks the lock with the service before allowing a managed episode; a failed network request does not mean that the lock has been removed.

L’épisode erroné attend : review the series match and episode numbers. If the source entry lacks reliable series information, refresh its metadata before making progress changes.

Le progrès semble toujours vieux : check the right profile and reopen the management view. Avoid repeatedly marking unrelated episodes watched just to move the boundary.

Changement de l’accord à long terme

Utiliser Regardez en tout cas for a specific exception. If the group no longer wants a waiting rule, the creator can use Récupérer le lock. Other eligible participants can use Laissez le lock. The current management screen does not expose a permanent “ignore this lock” toggle.

Removing a lock does not provide a missing stream, restore provider access or remove other content restrictions. The usual source, profile and playback checks still apply.

Réponse rapide

Does entering the PIN unlock the whole evening? No. Series Lock approves one requested episode through a single-use playback hand-off.

Est-ce que la surveillance fait tout le monde tomber ? No. Approval and completion are separate. Completion afterwards follows the lock’s mode.

Can I keep waiting without entering a PIN? Yes. Choose Keep Waiting to close this challenge.
