Find a movie or series

Silo is in active development before 1.0. These guides are updated frequently.

Browse a library when you know what kind of media you want, or search when you know a title. These steps work the same in the web app and on a phone or tablet.

Browse a library

1. Choose a library from the app’s navigation.
2. Open a title to read its details. For a series, choose a season and episode.
3. Use the library’s filter and sort controls to narrow a long list. If a title you expect disappears, clear the filters.
4. Select Play or Resume.

In the web app, sort a library by Title to jump through it by letter. An A–Z bar appears on the right edge of the screen. Choose a letter to scroll to its first title. The bar doesn’t filter, so the rest of the library stays in the list above and below. Letters with no titles are greyed out, and # holds titles that start with a digit or symbol. Titles file under their sort title, so “The Office” is under O, and an accented first letter counts as its base letter, so “Élite” is under E.

On a touchscreen, tap a letter, or slide your finger along the bar to jump as you pass each letter. With a keyboard, press Tab to reach the bar, use the arrow keys or type a letter to move between letters, and press Enter or Space to jump.

In the web app, Remember library pages under Settings > Libraries returns each library to the last tab, sort, and filters you used on that profile and device. A saved filter is often why two profiles show different results.

Search and explore people

Open Search and enter a title or a person’s name. Cast and crew who match appear under People. When several results share a title, pick by year.

On a movie or series page, select a cast or crew member to open their Filmography. Choose Movies or Series to narrow it.

Some results, such as upcoming releases or a person’s other work, may not be on your server. If your server allows it, you can request them.

When something is missing

Look at the selected server, profile, library, and filters first. If the title still isn’t there, or its details are wrong, tell the person who runs your server. Include the title, year, and library. They can check library scanning and access or metadata matching.
