Browsing

The Library tab is where you find everything on the server: shows, movies, music, podcasts, books and comics. This chapter walks through each kind and the search that ties them together.

The library grid

The library shows your media as a grid of covers. Use the sort options to order by title or by what was recently added, and scroll — long lists load as you go.

Shows and episodes

Open a show to see its seasons and episodes, with artwork, descriptions and your watch progress per episode. Partially watched episodes show a progress bar, so you can see at a glance where you left off.

A show's overview page

Movies

Movies get a detail page with the poster, description, duration and a play button. If you stopped halfway, the movie resumes from where you were.

Music

Albums list their tracks in order. Play a single track, the whole album, or add to the queue — more on queues in Playback.

Podcasts

Podcasts list their episodes newest-first. Each episode remembers how far you've listened, so a half-finished episode picks up where you stopped.

Books and series

Books — audiobooks, ebooks or both — have their own detail page. If a book is part of a series you can jump to the other volumes. From here you start reading or listening; your position is shared between the two.

Persons

Tap an actor, author or narrator anywhere in the app to see their page: who they are and everything of theirs on your server.

Search looks across everything at once — movies, shows, episodes, people, albums and tracks — and ranks the best matches at the top, whatever kind they are. It's usually the fastest way to get anywhere.
