First, let me make sure I understand what we want to define as "On-Deck". My thoughts:
A) On-deck is a new, unwatched episode of a series you have been watching lately.
B) On-deck is an episode that you started watching but never finished.
C) On-deck is the next episode from an episode you recently watched.
A - Pull Recently Watched episodes, compare Recently Added Episodes. Series where the two lists meet are going to be new and watching. Display said episodes.
B - Pull a list of partially watched episodes. Can we see the last watched date, so that we can order by the most recently partially watched? I would assume so.
C - Pull Recently Watched Episodes. Read the series from each, then the episode list, looking for the next. Potential issues:
1) The next episode is the next season. Do we know to go from 2X12 to 3x1? How is this accomplished?
2) What happens when the new episode shows up? ie. I'm watching Walking Dead, watched the last episode, and the new episode comes up in 2 places... Latest Added and On-Deck?
Are we looking at combining all this together to create a magic-bullet list of reccomendations?
I think its a fantastic idea with lots of possibility. An additional idea: Unwatched episodes in a series that might discover new content. For instance: You've watched every episode of Mitchell and Webb Look except 3x2.... maybe you want to watch that one?
Just some brainstorming.
