TCEmby1 8 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 The metadata for a TV series is great, it filled out details and episode description, however I want to scroll through all the episodes regardless of season. ie, without clicking on a specific season and then scrolling through. Is there a way to do this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only Android TV, but agree that it should be added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCEmby1 8 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Would there be a workaround like put them all in a collection and view them all at once that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8319 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Episodes tab sorted by series you can see everything. But yes a Collection or Playlist per Show would give a flattened view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCEmby1 8 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Playlist is the closest to what I'm looking for except having the larger thumbnails and short episode description (like it is under the season) is the format that would be most useful. Would it be easier to change the list view options under playlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1534 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Many (most?) series have sequential numbering available in TVDB; if so, then number them consecutively and select Absolute Numbering in the metadata. Mind you, they'd still be in a season folder, but only one. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCEmby1 8 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Not sure what happened but by setting it to absolute, the episodes all got mislabeled. Wrong title and synopsis. It was worth a try I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong title and synopsis. It was worth a try I guess Yes as you have to have your media labeled according to the display method used. So you could have 21 season folders One Piece / Season 21 / S21E01 or one season folder One Piece / Season 1 / S01E892 or just 892 as these two episodes are equal just in different structures. Everything in 1 season folder or 21 different season folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37133 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 We have a lot of layouts and screen sizes to accommodate, but I've been starting to think about how we could potentially accommodate this and still satisfy those who want to see their season posters. So one idea is using a picker like a lot of apps use nowadays, but making it a visual one that will show both the season title and poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I want to see the seasons, but sometimes I prefer switching to an all episodes view. Ideally an option to filter on the unwatched would be included as well.

TCEmby1 8 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thank you Luke, I think it would be a good idea. Say I have 10 seasons of MST3k, I don't want to click through each season looking for something good to watch. It would help to have them all on the same level sometimes and pick that way.

Happy2Play 8319 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 And how should over 100 episodes be presented? I would assume no horizontal virtual scroller. Episodes tiled sequentially at Show level? A list view similar to multi-disc Albums? Seasons replace Disc? Or multiple list columns one for each Season? But ideas for a layout would be welcomed as everyone's idea of a flatten view is going to be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example that I like is what the Apple TV+ app does, although in our case, when you click into the picker to change seasons we could make it more visual with the season poster.
