This is really cool. One thing I think would be good is to have the option to watch the very latest unwatched episode for certain series (like current affairs type shows). Sorry if this is already an option. Also an option to ignore watched status for random order shows. There are certain show I'm always happy to just watch a random episode I've already seen.

Karnagious I'm not sure if this by design or something I'm not getting around but I will explain to you a scenario and a problem I'm having. Bear in mind I'm using lazytv to watch series over and over again so I do realize I'm using it in a way that wasnt intended in the first place.
So i like to watch Seinfeld over and over again. When I installed lazytv I set the whole series to unwatched and restarted xbmc. On analysis of DB and using the list mode it started correctly. After a while I opted to use the randomized player mode in which I threw in 50 episodes at a time. Now after the whole series finished I went and reset the series to unwatched then restarted xbmc to re-analyze db. To my surprise the randomized mode refused to play still but the list mode showed the first episode. It is only after I watched the first episode, or set it as watched, or scrolled through it that the randomized player started working again. Do you know what may have caused this?

Thanks echo, good point on the file names. They will change in the next update.
If you want to remove the notification in the meantime, just edit the service.py file at line 551.
"xbmc.executebuiltin('Notification(%s,%s,%i)' % ('LazyTV',lang(32173),5000))"
Put a # at the start of that line (next to the xbmc, so #xbmc) to remove the notification at startup.

There are two other settings that might be relevant.
"Begin partially watched episodes at their resume point" means that if you have watched part of the show, when it comes up again in the random player it will jump to where you last watched it.
"Begin with latest in progress tv show" means that the random player will start off with the last partially watched episode. Basically it tries to pick up where you left off.

I have them both checked. Can you reproduce it by pressing lazytv like 10 times and check if it happens? I have 2 shows in the player and one episode half way.

AWESOME !!!
Now I noticed something else. Where does LazyTV get it's lists of episodes from?
Because it seems that LTV only takes into consideration actual episodes, and not anything from the 'specials' folder, or custom .nfo files I placed in between regular episode.
Is there a way to get LTV to use the same list, and ordering structure as you would get when you click on the "* All Seasons" folder in the TV series?
Thanks.

LazyTV gets the episode information from XBMC via the JSON interface, so anything unavailable through that wont get picked up.
The treatment of specials is tricky as some are supposed to be played at the end (or during) specific seasons, but that info isnt available through the interface.
