Include playlists and collections in "Next Up"

[ebr 16595]

A complicating factor now is the fact that neither collections nor playlists have a strict, defined order.  So, what is "next"...?

the order you use to display them inside a collection.....

and even if let's say you dont want to bother with the order just something like

A collection you started has Unwatched elements and so you just display directly the collection and up to the user when he sees that to say

"oh 'im missing a "Scream movie" i havent seen then click  and he will see the elements within that collection and launch the one he wants if he misses more than one


but its actually sad to have a media center and forgetting about some Collections that have a new movie released in it or that we havent finished.....  and as the actual home screen continue watching we can hide an occurence if we want

That can change at any time.

I'm not saying this is impossible.  I'm saying it isn't a straightforward as it might seem now that collections AND playlists can be sorted in different ways.

I use playlists to watch random movies on shuffle. If this were implemented it would add TV shows and movies to my next up list that I wouldn't want there. Just my two cents.

As i proposed, you could only propose the collection and the user will enter it and choose what to launch.

Would it be possible to create for each user a dedicated playlist (like spotify or deezer) when the user start listening random music for exemple, or a watching a collection.
For each new connection, the playlist is load by default (continue playing).
The playlist stay until the user decide to do a new action like watching a movie, listen an album, etc... This new action will erase the dedicated playlist and generate a new one.

Don't hesitate to ask for details
