FAQ
Answers to common questions about SerKal Desktop.
Your first series in SerKal
- Search: Enter the series title. Add the year if several series have the same name.
- Choose: Use the arrow buttons to move through the search results, then select the season you want.
- Insert: Add that season to your local SerKal archive. SerKal stores the season and its episode dates; if Google Calendar is enabled and authorised, it also creates the corresponding calendar entries.
- Check the archive: The entry on the right is your managed SerKal record. It is more than a TMDB lookup: SerKal keeps the selected season locally so that its dates can be reviewed, maintained and updated later.
- Save: The Save button at the bottom saves SerKal's current local data and settings. It does not add another series; use Insert for that.
If Google Calendar fails
The season can still be stored successfully in the local SerKal archive. Calendar access is a separate step. See the current Google Calendar information.
