[QUOTE="scythelt, post: 161618, member: 27879"] Congrats on the V1 release Inker and Co! One feature I'd like to see in the next version slightly "smarter" switching between views. For example, if I'm in the "Unwatched" view and browsing a tv series (say Lost) and I realise the episode I want to watch is already flagged as "watched" then I have to change to the "All" view to see it. Moving to the "All" view drops me back to the tvseries main page with all the show banners (that's not a bad thing in itself), but with a different show highlighted - not Lost as is expected. It'd be nice if the plugin respected what show you were browsing when you switch between views and intelligently maintains your selection. Even better, if you switch views it should retain the screen you were on. For example, using the same example above, browsing Lost episodes in Season 3, switching between "All" and "Unwatched" views should stay in the same show/season browse view (but with watched/unwatched shows displayed depending on the view). Does that make sense? Just a little usability tweak that I find I come up against every day and feel could be improved upon. Finally I'd like to give a thumbs up to the "partially watched" idea raised by another poster in this thread. I can see this as possibly being awkward to implement tho. A simple way would be to simply set the watched flag when the video finishes, rather than at the start. That could cause problems with ppl stopping in the credits tho and the video not stricting hitting the end. There is another side-effect of setting the watched flag at the start of the video - if you bring up the OSD mid-episode it displays the show synopsis that is usally hidden to prevent spoilers. If the above method was used, the synopsis would be hidden until the show was completely watched (not partially). Just a few ideas. Keep up the good work! [/QUOTE]
