Watchlist, favorites, and ratings

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

Add titles you want to watch to your Watchlist, keep the ones you love in Favorites, and rate titles to record your opinion. All three belong to your active profile.

Save a title

On a phone or tablet:

1. Open the movie or series.
2. Select Favorite (the heart) or Watchlist (the bookmark).
3. Select it again to remove the title.

In the web app:

1. Open the movie or series.
2. Select the heart to add it to your favorites. Select it again to remove it.
3. To use the watchlist, open the More menu (⋮) and choose Add to Watchlist or Remove from Watchlist.
4. Select a star rating.

On a narrow screen, series, season, and episode pages move the heart and stars into the More menu as Add to favorites and Your rating.

Open Favorites or Watchlist from the main menu to see what you’ve saved. If a change fails to save, check your connection and try again.

Series in your favorites or watchlist can send you new-episode notifications, depending on your settings. Ratings also shape your For You suggestions.

For your own named groups of titles, use Collections.

Watchlist titles you don’t have yet

In the web app, you can add a movie or series to your watchlist before the server has it. This works only while the server has requests turned on.

1. Open Requests and find the title.
2. Select Add to Watchlist on its page, or the bookmark on its poster. The button changes to On Watchlist.
3. Open Watchlist and select the Not in your library yet tab to see the title.

Titles on this tab can’t be played yet. When one arrives in the library, it moves to the In your library tab and keeps the date you added it. Adding a title also requests it for you, unless you’ve turned that off; see Request from your watchlist. To remove a title, select the bookmark on its poster again.

Each poster says where the title stands, such as Downloading 43%, Out Dec 18, Awaiting approval, or Not requested. The status appears under the poster and as a Request Status badge in the poster’s top-left corner. While the title downloads, the poster also shows a progress bar. To hide the badge, open Settings > Navigation & Cards and, under Badges, open Status & Awards and turn off Request Status.

If TMDB later lists the title twice or stops listing it, the status under the poster says TMDB lists it twice or No longer listed on TMDB. Select Find it to search for the title again, add the right one, and remove the old entry.

While requests are turned off, the Not in your library yet tab doesn’t appear and you can’t add or remove these titles. Silo keeps the ones you’ve already saved.
