Would it be possible to add "watched items" to "recommended episodes"? To explain, here's two contrasting use cases:
1) You are watching a brand new show. Recommended view shows you the next un-watched episode. Great, just what you want.
2) You decide to re-watch a show. You watch the first few episodes by browsing to them in the menus (all good so far). Now, in this case, the recommended view will not mention this show at all because all episodes are marked as watched. It would be great if recommended episodes could take this into account.
Sorting becomes tricky I suppose. For unwatched items it is easy, just get the unwatched episodes and sort by episode number.
For watched items, you'd need to fetch the latest watched episode, and then show the episode after that. A single database query it is not.
It sounds like a really messy feature, but is really the one thing I wish Kodi could do. I always have one or two watched shows in progress, so to speak. This would really help with keeping track of where one is.
