Large TV Playlist - How do you pick up where you left off?

Hey all,

I created an large Arrowverse playlist to watch all of the episodes in the order they aired (which took forever). There’s like 80+ episodes, and tonight when I went to watch the Playlist everything worked great, it played all the E01 episodes and then started with the first E02 episode, no problem.

However, I can’t seem to figure out any way to resume my playlist on the next unwatched episode. The On Deck just shows all of the next individual episodes, and the Playlist itself has no way to pick back up where you left off, and not even any indication of what episodes are watched or unwatched.

I kind of just assumed there would be a Continue Playlist button at the top, or at the very least the ones already watched would be greyed out or have their yellow triangle removed, but they don’t even have a yellow triangle in the first place.

Obviously, I can just check the On Deck to see roughly what’s next and then scroll down the Playlist to that episode, but in the case of something like the Arrowverse, the episode order changes several times over the course of a season, with some series, like Supergirl, taking multi-week breaks, or being replaced in the order by Legends of Tomorrow. What I’m getting at is it’s not just as easy as picking a random E12 and just hoping it aired before the other E12s, especially because of all the crossover episodes, which is the whole awkward problem I’m trying to solve in the first place by watching them in their aired order.

Anyway, all of those steps to workaround the Playlist limitations seem so counterintuitive that I just wonder if I’m missing something really obvious. Like maybe a setting I need to turn on server-side. It’s not a big deal now, but 50 episodes from now it’s going to get tiring always double checking TVDB airdates to make sure I’m not drifting off track.

Let me know if there’s something glaring I’m overlooking. Thanks!
