Siri, Shortcuts & Visual Intelligence

Zuno works with Siri, the Shortcuts app, and Visual Intelligence so you can start something playing, search your library, or request a title without tapping through the app. The related options live in Settings → Apple Intelligence.

Asking Siri to play something

Ask Siri to play a title and it opens straight into Zuno:

“Play [title] in Zuno”
“Watch [title] in Zuno”

Siri finds the match in your library and starts it playing. No setup is needed.

Searching your library by voice

You can also hand a search to Siri:

“Search Zuno”
“Find something in Zuno”

Siri asks what you’re looking for, then shows the matches from your library so you can pick one.

Requesting with Siri

If you use a request server, Siri can request something new without opening the app at all:

“Request something in Zuno”

Say the title, then pick from what Siri finds. The request goes to your connected request server.

Shortcuts

Zuno provides three actions for the Shortcuts app, so you can build your own automations and add them to your Home Screen or a widget:

Play Media: play a given title.
Search Library: search your library.
Request Media: request a new title.

Combine these with the rest of Shortcuts however you like, for example a single tap that plays a specific show.

Schemes

Zuno supports deep links, allowing you to open specific screens or perform actions by invoking a URL.

Supported schemes

`zuno://play?ratingKey=<id>`	Start playback of the specified Media item.

Visual Intelligence

On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Zuno joins Visual Intelligence: point the camera at a film or show poster, or take a screenshot of one, and Zuno can work out the title and offer to open it in your library.

Turn this on with Find Titles from Posters in Settings → Apple Intelligence. Switch it off to stop Zuno appearing in visual search results.
