[RELEASE] Watchlist script (was 'Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC')

Some thoughts:

- they are using season covers for episodes. This definitely looks better than episode thumbs
- navigation could be problematic if you're showing recently added (RA) and in progress items (IP) at the same time. Shown layout uses "ESC" to navigate back from a middle of RA or IP list back to main nab
- It could be a little messy and I would personally go to extra node in library (like RA) that you can link to from a home page
- partially watched is returned true for unwatched items that are in progress. I had a problem showing partially watched status for watched items. This may be different for a script, though.

BTW, I'm more intrigued by Queue feature that allows you to bookmark web video while browsing so you can watch it later from XBMC on a big screen

I agree, even the name 'Ongoing Show' and 'Partially Watched' is spot on

The 'partially watched' view would make it a step better than plex 'On Deck'.. If it can be implemented, it's up to the skinners to have these view easily accessible. Lots of skins have 'new episodes' built in, it can be used similarly I think..

This is easy as making a smart playlist based on "In progress" status - it will return item that you did not finish watching. You can add it to home page through favorites or whatever way is using your skin of choice.

Trickier part is suggesting next episodes.

Indeed, this is where we'd need a script to work some magic.

Well I didn't expect anyone to look at it quite this quickly but that is good to hear. If you need any help just let me know (not that my Python's any good).

Maybe we should donate a case of beer to Ronie

Don't have much to add to this other than this feature would be AWESOME in xbmc.

1) come up with a nice name for this script / feature :-)
2) what to do with tv shows with 0 watched episodes?
should we exclude them or just add the first episode to the list?
