Downloading content

You have the option of downloading audio from described movies, TV shows, podcasts, or other on-demand content.

To download content in Sero:

  1. Locate the content you want to download. You can either browse from the home screen or search for the content you want.

  2. Once you have found the item, activate it. For example, on Windows or Mac, press Enter. On iOS, Android, or Amazon Fire OS, double-tap it.

  3. If there is a description of the item, you will be able to read the information and either choose to play the content immediately, or download the content for later.

    If no description exists, you will default to a Play button. Locate and activate the Download button to begin downloading.

  4. The content will begin downloading.

  5. You may press the Cancel button at any time to stop. Or you may choose to continue downloading in the background. Sero will notify you when the download is done. If the download is still in the foreground when it finishes, you can choose to start playing it now.

If you wish to download an entire series of episodes, such as a season of audio from a described TV show:

  2. Activate the link to the series. For example, on Windows or Mac, press Enter on it. On iOS, Android, or Amazon Fire OS, double-tap it.

  3. If you started playing this series before, Sero will ask if you want to continue where you left off, start at the beginning of the episode you were previously playing, or go to the list of episodes. Choose to go to the list of episodes.

  4. Activate the "Download All" option at the bottom of the list of episodes.

  5. The entire series will begin downloading.

  6. You may press the Cancel button at any time to stop. Or you may choose to continue downloading in the background. Sero will notify you when the download is done. If the download is still in the foreground when it finishes, you can choose to start playing it now.

Where to find your downloaded content

When you press the Download button, your content will automatically download to a folder within Sero. This folder is called Downloads, and you can find it on the Sero home screen. Here you can access all the content you’ve downloaded.

Note that on Windows and Mac, content that you download within Sero is not designed to be accessed outside of Sero, through File Explorer on Windows or the Finder on Mac. Additionally, content that comes from Sero itself, such as described audio from movies and TV shows, is protected, so you cannot play it outside of Sero, even if you manage to find the file on your computer.

Accessing content offline

You may access your downloaded content offline in the same manner as when you are online.

Simply launch Sero as you always do, and your Downloads folder will be there with your content in it.
