[Feature Request] Auto-advance Playlists

Playlists are great, but you have to create a new one constantly. Watching a single show, Plex marks it as watched and advances the menu to the next available TV show in the series.It would be great to be able to create a playlist for each day of the week (or just a favorites playlist), and once you have watched that episode, it will advance to the next episode for the next week. Of course, this would not work for playlists that include movies, but maybe the movie could be automatically removed from the playlist once watched. Or, another un-watched movie automatically added.

 

Example:

 

Monday:

Gilligan's Island S01E02

NCIS S01E05

Gotham S02E02

M*A*S*H* S03E08

 

 

Auto-advancing the next Monday playlist would look like this:

 

Monday:

Gilligan's Island S01E03

NCIS S01E06

Gotham S02E03

M*A*S*H* S03E09

 

 

 

The only work to be done would be to create your initial playlist for each day of the week (whether you follow it is up to you).

It could just be a "your favorites" playlist that you could watch at any time, but the episodes would advance in that playlist (until you exhausted episodes).

This would cut own a lot of work in making a playlist and make Plex that much more enjoyable.

 

I would like to her some input on this, and maybe some ideas to make it even better.
