The "on deck" episode for unwatched seasons.

If I add a new season to plex, the “on deck” episode will be like episode 6 out of 13.
This makes no sense to me!

Even if I have already watched some episodes (lets say 2 out of 13) it still picks a (seemingly) random episode for the dashboard if there are multiple unwatched episodes. wtf?

I also believe that if you press “Play” in a season overview, it should queue all the unwatched episodes, in order.

I have had huge spoilers happen (especially with releases that have a “last time on X”) and I’ve even watched seasons out of order.
I watched last season of house of cards out of order because of this, I thought they did a time jump when I skipped 2 episodes.

Plex will display the next episode based on the aired date. Double check if all your episodes have an aired date listed.
