I have an idea for a rule which sort of builds on the "show tv shows in order".
A rule that allows you to set a number of episodes of a tv show in order on a channel per day.
So basically, I would like to be able to set on my comedy channel, only play 4 'new' episodes of all tv shows a day. Each day it would play 4 episodes of every TV show on that channel and repeat those episodes all day. The next day it would play the next 4 etc.
Think of this as the e4 format for friends, scrubs etc. They play 2 episodes a day and repeat those episodes multiple times that day.
The reason for this rule is with 'realtime' set it's possible for a tv show to make it's way from the start to the end of a season within 24 hours if there aren't many other tv shows on that channel. So I 'tune in' once a day at 18:00 to a channel to find all the episodes are on season 2 when yesterday they were at season 1.
I'm not sure if this rule should be set on the channel for all TV shows on that channel, or whether it should be possible to set it per TV show, I guess that's down to what is possible. Both would be nice
I guess an alternative would be to set play mode to 'resume' so I could just pick up where I left off on a channel.
Let me know what you think. I'm quite content with 'TV Shows in Order' for now, so this one is more of a really really nice to have
