FAQ
Is Orion free?
Section titled “Is Orion free?”Yes. Orion is free to use. A one time Pro unlock with extra features is planned for later, and everything documented here is part of the free experience.
Where does the data come from?
Section titled “Where does the data come from?”TV and movie metadata, artwork, and air dates come from TMDB. Game data comes from IGDB. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
A show is missing or its air date looks wrong
Section titled “A show is missing or its air date looks wrong”Orion mirrors TMDB. If a title is missing or a date is off, it’s usually missing or off on TMDB too. TMDB is community edited, so you can fix it there and Orion picks up the correction on its next sync.
Why does In Theaters show the wrong country’s releases?
Section titled “Why does In Theaters show the wrong country’s releases?”In Theaters’s region is set by your Orion instance’s administrator, not per user. It defaults to the US if nothing’s configured. For results filtered to your exact location, see Cinema showtimes instead.
Is there an iPhone app?
Section titled “Is there an iPhone app?”Yes — Orion is on the App Store for iPhone, on iOS 16 and later. It installs on iPad as well, in iPhone compatibility mode. See Install the iPhone app.
It does everything the website does and adds release notifications. Home screen widgets are Android-only for now.
Can other people see what I watch?
Section titled “Can other people see what I watch?”No. Your library, watch history, and settings are private to your account. The only way your data leaves Orion is through your own API token, so keep it secret.
My widget, calendar, or integration stopped working
Section titled “My widget, calendar, or integration stopped working”Nine times out of ten, the API token changed. Regenerating it in Settings invalidates the old one everywhere at once, so copy the calendar URL again, add widgets again, and update Home Assistant.
How do I delete my account?
Section titled “How do I delete my account?”Settings → Delete account, or orionmedia.app/delete-account. Deletion is confirmed by email and removes everything. Details here.
