That's right, it's currently only in the Git version. I'm finishing work on the feature that will maintain your channels in the background. Once I'm satisfied with it, I'll push it all to the mainstream. So if you wait a bit, you'll be auto-updated and get this.

Say you set it for "120 days". Once an episode was watched it could not be loaded again until those 120 days have elapsed. This option would automatically make every episode available again after the elapsed time, thus stopping the "shrinking library" syndrome.
Ah, I see. I like this better than the "unwatched" flag. The trick would be to figure out how to automatically set this value so it gives the optimum number of not recently watched shows...it would suck to give 120 days and end up with an empty playlist. I'll think about this.
mwkurt Wrote:I don't know how it work or be implemented but my vision is for a network lineup of shows to all be serialized Seaon 1, Episode 1 through the end of the series. So you would have show1, ep1...show2, ep1...show3, ep1 through the end of each series.
My wife has the same request, actually. We have a comedy channel which is just random right now. Whenever Friends comes on, though, she wants them to be shown in order. After the current version is released, I'm going to work on a new feature that may help with this...not exactly the same thing, but it may help. I'll keep everyone posted
