Next Up Request - Exclude Watched

[feerlessleadr 174]

Hi - I just updated to Version 4.10.0.40 of emby server, and I noticed a change in how the 'Next Up' section is operating. I previously had the (I think it was called) Legacy Next Up, rather than Continue Watching. The reason I did that is because watched episodes were specifically excluded from the legacy Up Next. 

What I've noticed now is that any espisode (watched or unwatched) that is partially watched will show up in the list. So older shows (like Friends, Parks and Rec, The Office, etc.) which I've watched 100 times and have dozens of partially watched episodes, now show up in the Next Up section, rather than just the next show up in my current ongoing series. 

I figured that I could just add an option to the Next Up section to filter for only watched episodes, similar to some of the other lists you can now include in the home screen, but that does not seem to be an option. Is there a reason that this change was made, but watched episodes are no longer being offered as an option to exclude from this list? Is there any way to have this option added back in? It's incredibly frustrating to have to sift through a number of shows that we put on in the background for just noise vs the shows/series we are actively watching. 

Thanks so much for your consideration.

hi, how are the options for the section configured?

To be honest, I don't really recall this distinction. For several releases now continue watching and next up have been the same thing except that when you activate next up, continue watching will not show the next episodes.

Interesting, this issue only popped up when I upgraded to 4.10.

See attached for the configuration I'm using for Next Up, as well as the additional filter options present in other home section types. 

Under 4.9 and previous, Next Up legacy automatically excluded watched episodes. What I'm hoping for is that you can add the filter options to the Continue Watching section type (which I have labeled next up), so that people have the option to mimic the old next up legacy section.

Thanks
