To speed things up, please include:

  • your macOS version (Apple menu › About This Mac);
  • your Séance version (Réglages › À propos);
  • what happens, and what you expected;
  • for playback issues: the file format (MKV, AVI…) and, if possible, a screenshot.

Most common questions

  • A video won’t play

    Check that the drive is connected and that the file opens in the Finder. If the error persists, the player offers to open the file in another installed app, or show it in the Finder.

  • A title is misidentified

    Title page › “…” menu › “Corriger l’identification” (Fix identification): search for the right title and year, then choose it.

  • A drive doesn’t show up

    Allow Séance to access removable and network volumes in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Files & Folders, then rescan (⌘R).

  • Getting ready for an outage

    Réglages › Bibliothèque › “Prêt pour la coupure” (Ready for an outage), then “Tout préparer” (Prepare everything) while you’re online.

  • Apple Intelligence doesn’t show up

    Turn on Apple Intelligence in System Settings on a compatible Mac and let the model download. Séance detects it automatically.

  • License, invoice, refund

    Your key and invoice were emailed by Paddle when you bought. For a refund within 30 days, write to us.
