Missing episode notification (while watching)

[miniliQuid 91]

Currently we have the feature of showing which episodes are missing in a season/show.

My current problem is that generally I start an episode of a show and I just use continue watching or next-up and I have the setting of automatically playing the next episode turned on.

Unfortunately with this way of watching the show I hardly notice missing episodes which brings me to my request.

 

Can there be some kind of signal during playback about missing episodes?

 

Right now I often notice later when during the "previously on ......" scene at the start of the movie, they show something from the missing episode.

At that point I notice I haven't seen it before, and then when going in to the show/season I notice there was an episode missing a few episodes back.

Some shows this is easily noticeable of course (missing an episode in the show 24 is hard to do generally), others though I notice it like 2 or 3 episodes later.

 

Anything would be fine, I would even be fine with it, if it stopped going to the next available episode at that point.

That way I am sure not to miss anything. Something like a pop-up or message would be fine to though.

Or perhaps a short video playing with "missing episode: skipping to next episode"?

 

Hope something like this might be possible.

Yea it's something we've talked about before.

Android TV, Fire TV and Roku should already behave this way.  We'll get it into the other apps too.

 

Thanks.
