Notifications for new and upcoming episodes

Now that we’ve got “discovery” similar to just watch - please can we have an upcoming notification for tv shows like in the very good app TVForecast.

I would vote for this but I used my last vote on the suggestion I made that was too similar and got marked as duplicate… I would also tag this with the discover tag as well to get more traction on it because its tech correlates with the discover feature as well since it can help you find new episodes and seasons…

I posted…

I currently use an app called Hobi to search for upcoming and current shows and when I follow them it keeps me up to date on when new seasons and or episodes are coming. If this was built into plex it would be much easier since that’s where I watch most of my content.

Now plex is great if I’m currently watching something I will see it on deck but if I want to see when a new upcoming season was set to release I won’t know until it’s on deck and for shows, I’m not currently watching I can add it to the new playlist which is great but if it had a spot that indicated when new seasons and or episodes were airing or if the show has been canceled would be awesome!




I agree. Please tag Discover so we can get more eyes on this.

I use Reelgood to track shows I watch. It notifies me when episodes are released, I can launch the appropriate app to watch the episode from the episode page, and I can mark the episode as watched. If the Watchlist in Discover had this functionality, I would be able to do more from within Plex and not need Reelgood.

Reelgood is great but Discover Watchlist is just a couple steps away from being just as good and would mean using the Plex app more often.

Watchlist is off to a nice start. It would be far more useful if shows with newly available episodes could be sorted to the top of the watchlist.
