你要做什麼

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.

在你開始之前

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.

如果你想允許 Require profile PIN for 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.

創建鎖

1. Open the series information page. On iPhone, iPad or Mac (Catalyst), choose 鎖系列. On Apple TV, open the ⋯ 菜單和選擇 鎖系列.
2. 選擇支持共享 時尚: 單獨 單獨完成的節目或 一起 for shared completion. If your app also shows Personal, read its 目前服務限制 使用之前。
3. 決定是否允許 Require profile PIN for Watch Anyway.
4. 底下 此賬戶的個人資料, select the participating profiles. Your active profile is already selected.
5. 底下 其他 Odyssey 帳戶上的朋友選擇您要邀請的接受朋友。
6. 選擇 鎖系列 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.

選擇正確的進展規則

到 單獨, 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.

到 一起, 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 要有共享播放控制

工作例子

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.

查看、延伸或刪除鎖

回到系列,選擇 管理系列鎖. You can also open 設置 → 個人資料 → 管理家庭資料 → My Series Locks. The management screen shows participants, their next episode, watched-ahead counts and invitations still awaiting acceptance.

創作者可以使用 新事件新事件 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.

創造者看見 取消鎖其他合格參與者可見 放下鎖. 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.

如果什麼不起作用

系列不能鎖定: check its metadata match and reload its episode list. The app rejects a partial or uncertain list instead of guessing an order.

一個朋友缺席: 首先,請求友人 朋友與邀請. An outstanding friend request is different from an accepted friendship and a Series Lock invitation.

鎖不能再清: 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.

參與者將出現在前面: check the participating profile and existing watched history. Together and Separately intentionally treat completion differently.

快速回復

我能否爲自己開幕式? 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 個人鎖和PIN 對於邊界。

我能否過度等待? 看不然 can approve the requested episode. A protected lock asks for that profile’s PIN. It does not unlock the whole app session.
