VOD & Series
ynoTV includes a high-performance, native Rust engine specifically optimized for synchronizing and browsing massive VOD (Video on Demand) libraries.
Browsing Movies & Series
Section titled “Browsing Movies & Series”Access your VOD content directly from the sidebar or via the dedicated Movies and Series views.
Features
Section titled “Features”- Smart Metadata: Automatic integration with TMDB for posters, ratings, and plot summaries.
- Search & Discovery: Instantly find any title across all your connected sources.
- SubSource Integration: Retrieve missing subtitles directly from SubSource for seamless playback within the player.
Sorting
Section titled “Sorting”Every VOD view offers a Sort dropdown with ascending/descending order for each option:
- A-Z — alphabetical by title.
- Recently Added — newest syncs first.
- Year — by release year.
- Rating — by score.
- Last Watched — by your viewing history, most recent first.
Category Management
Section titled “Category Management”Streamline your VOD browsing experience by organizing which content categories appear in your Movies and Series views.
Access Method : Right-click any source in the Movies or Series view and select Manage VOD Categories
Hide Categories : Selectively disable categories to exclude them from your browsing interface. Hidden categories will not display content in category views and their items will be excluded from search results, providing a cleaner, more focused content discovery experience.
Playlists
Section titled “Playlists”Create VOD playlists to organize movies and TV episodes across sources into your own collections:
- Create Playlist — name a new playlist, then Add to Playlist from any movie/series (or Add Selected in bulk).
- Randomize List — shuffle the order on demand.
- Autoplay next on playlist — keep playing through the playlist without interruption.
- Rename / Delete / Remove from playlist — manage your playlists at any time.
- Items from a deleted or disabled source are kept but shown as hidden in the playlist until the source returns.
Trailers
Section titled “Trailers”Movies and series can play a trailer with a single click. Trailer options (available from the title’s player menu) control where it comes from:
- Use trailer from the IPTV source — the provider’s own trailer stream, if one exists.
- Use trailer from TMDB — the official TMDB trailer, played via YouTube (powered by yt-dlp).
The trailer plays in your chosen player mode (embedded, popout, or external). If neither source has a trailer, the app tells you “No trailer available” for that title.
Series Playback
Section titled “Series Playback”Autoplay Next Episode
Section titled “Autoplay Next Episode”Under Settings → Playback → VOD Settings, Auto-Play Next Episode automatically plays the next episode of a series when the current one ends — and if it’s the end of a season, it starts the first episode of the next season automatically.
Queueing Episodes
Section titled “Queueing Episodes”Series can be queued for continuous playback — queue a single season (Queueing Season…) or the entire show (Queueing all seasons…), with progress shown as episodes are queued.
Progress Tracking
Section titled “Progress Tracking”Maintain your viewing history automatically with the Recently Watched feature, which tracks playback progress across all movies and series.
Tracking Mechanism : Progress is automatically saved to the Recently Watched list on both the Home page and the Recent tab
Update Frequency : - Automatic updates every 30 seconds during active playback
- Immediate save when pressing Stop or switching to Live TV
Progress Threshold : Watch progress is only recorded when viewing is between 5% and 95% completion. This prevents saving entries for briefly sampled content while ensuring significant viewing sessions are tracked
