Per request from Luke, I am breaking up the suggestions from this thread:

Play All New Series Episodes

This is particularly an addon I was hoping to make myself, but simply found myself not having any time to even begin working on it.

The idea is pretty simple: you'd have a button accessible from the main screen probably next to "Latest TV Series". You would have the option to play only the newest added episodes or the newest released episodes in a playlist format.

This part of it, to me, seems pretty simple and straight forward from a development point of view, but in later versions I would like to see the ability to create more advance play lists.

An advanced playlist format I would envision is dumping together multiple series into a playlist and set it to only play only one episode at a time in a round robin format.

Example:

- Add 'Family Guy S1', 'American Dad S2' and 'Southpark S5' to a play list. 

 

The play list would play the following:

---

- Family Guy S01E01

- American Dad S02E01

- South Park S05E01

---

- Family Guy S01E02

- American Dad S02E02

- South Park S05E02

---

- Family Guy S01E03

- American Dad S02E03

- South Park S05E03

---

Ad nauseam

Other advanced features could include:
- Add bumpers between each episodes or every other episode (from a local folder)

- Add coming soon from movies a la cinematic mode.

- Add Commercials (if someone would actually desire --- these would be from a local folder)

- Continue from last episode in the round

- Start the next round (skipping any episodes not viewed)

- Play multiple episodes of one or more series per round

Wouldn't you really want this to be all "Next Up" episodes, not the newest?

 

Playing all newest ones could skip ones you haven't seen yet.

Well first, its really the Round Robin approach I'm looking for.

But the usecase might be something as follows:
- I don't care about spoilers

- I got waaaaaaaaaaay behind in watching episodes on a particular series.

- I want to stay in the loop at the water cooler at work when people are talking about all the new stuff.

 

I think a lot of people could relate to this usecase.
