Hey Everyone!

&nbsp;

I am a proud user of the Plex environment. &nbsp;I love using it but I have one problem.

&nbsp;

When I come home from work and I want some background TV going it is hard to figure out exactly what I want to watch and then find it and turn it on. &nbsp;I would love a channel that would allow me to click it and it would pick from a pre-selected list of shows and play a couple episodes automatically. &nbsp;Then if I have not interfered it would go ahead and select another show and play another couple episodes and so on. &nbsp;Pretty much like turning on prime-time TV.

&nbsp;

Here is my example:

&nbsp;

Shows to play:

1) Modern Family

2) Family Guy

3) American Dad

4) The Office

5) South Park

6) Tosh.0

7) Mythbusters

&nbsp;

Day 1:

Family Guy s01e01

Family Guy s01e02

Tosh.0 s01e01

Tosh.0 s01e02

Mythbusters s01e01

Mythbusters s01e02

Modern Family s01e01

-Stop Watching-

&nbsp;

Day 2:

Modern Family s01e02

Modern Family s02e03

American Dad s01e01

American Dad s01e02

The Office s01e01

The Office s01e02

-Stop Watching-

&nbsp;

This would not affect your "On Deck" either. &nbsp;In other words it would not set shows as watched or unwatched.

&nbsp;

What are your thoughts and do you think this is possible or does it already exist?

&nbsp;

BTW I am usually using a roku 3 to play this, but it would be possible I would use it on android or the PC.
