Separate Next Up from Continue Watching, with playback-state filtering


Recommended Posts

I'd like to request the ability to have a dedicated Next Up section on the Emby home screen that displays only the next completely unwatched episode of each TV series, independently of Continue Watching.

Currently, the Continue Watching section combines partially watched media with upcoming episodes, so my if my children's section is included it contains all my sons half watched films. With a next up section that'd does not show partially watched items (ie genuine next episodes only), he can have a next up section that shows his next episode of whatever he's currently watching.

I'd also be happy with a playback-state filter on the existing Continue Watching home-screen section, allowing users to include or exclude partially watched items - that would work fine too.

Hi.  This is already possible.  Please see the new home screen settings in 4.10.x

User Preferences - Home Screen

Thanks, I've been looking through that but I can't actually work out the settings combination that will do what I need, can you help me with that?

The documentation explains how to create a Next Up section using Continue Watching, but that still includes partially watched media from the selected libraries. But for example, my children's library contains both films and TV series. I want Next Up to display the next episode of the TV series we're watching, without also showing all the partially watched films. The Home Section Types Matrix in your documentation actually shows that Continue Watching doesn't support play-state filtering. I saw that Dynamic Media supports filtering, but that doesn't seem to provide the Next Up functionality of selecting the next episode of each series based on watch history.

I could be missing something very obvious, so please do let me know if that's the case!
