Discovery and Recommendations

OmniLux's discovery page helps you find what to watch, listen to, read, or play next.

Discovery page

The discovery page shows personalized content shelves:

Media you've started but haven't finished. Shows your progress and a resume button. Works across all devices — start on your phone, continue on your TV.

Recently added

New content discovered in your latest library scans, sorted by date added.
