Sync
Keep watch progress and libraries consistent across devices
Sync needs the same account and access to the same content. It does not replace cloud authorization, media-server permission, or a secure remote network setup.
Walkthrough
- 1
Confirm the account on every device
Open account status and verify that each device uses the same identity. Favorites, entitlement, and watch history from separate accounts do not merge automatically.
- 2
Confirm that the content has the same source
The same title in two folders or servers can be treated as different media. For a sync test, use the same cloud source or the same media-server library on both devices.
- 3
Play a short segment on device A
Play for a short time, exit normally, and wait for the network to settle. Then open continue watching on device B.
- 4
Start with access and authorization when it differs
If progress is missing, make sure device B can reach the source, uses the same account, and is not offline or behind a restricted network.
