Problem Description / Use Case

I've been streaming through debrid and certain batch releases have a large number of episodes which is tedious to scroll through. Auto-select and autoplay aren't workarounds if you want to continue streaming from a specific batch release - this means that currently you have to scroll through the list for every single episode you watch which could be hundreds for some releases.

Not a programmer so I don't know how easy things are but I have a couple of ideas that would alleviate this for me. Either should be fine, maybe you can think of a better solution.

Proposed Solution

• Make the identified likely match the first file displayed in the list, or start the list scrolled down to the matched file.
• Make it so the "automatically play next episode" option will select the next episode from a batch release if there is one.

Thank you for your hard work.

Yeah, especially the feature to automatically stream the next episode from (previously) selected Batch Release. As it stands now, if 'automatically select the best release' is enabled, the next episode is played when the player is exited. But this feature does not work if a manual torrent is selected. I think it would be better if we could manually assign a Batch Release to a show, but if that will be too complicated, just playing the next episode if the selected torrent is a Batch Release (Auto-Play Batch Release) will be enough for a much smoother experience!

Would it be better to edit the title to include Auto-Play Batch Release feature? Something like

Streamline and Auto-Play Batch Releases

I think it would be great if we could manually assign a Batch Release to a show. I actually suggested this a few months ago, so it's exciting to see it gaining some traction! Just wanted to voice my support for this feature request, and I trust Rahim to decide the best way to implement it.

Regarding assigning batch torrents to shows, it's already the case as the last selection is remembered and displayed at the top.
My takeaway from this feature request is to basically allow "autoplay next" to work with manually selected batches.

I worded my comment unfortunately - What i was trying to say was that i would be looking forward to "streamline episode selection when streaming from batch torrents". Displaying the last selected batch torrent on top is already a great feature (and works perfectly for the use case i described back then).

Yeah, the proposed solution by the OP will be the optimum one;

1. Scroll to and pre-select the identified most likely episode so one does not need to scroll.
2. Automatically play the next episode from the previously selected torrent if it's a batch release so that there's no need to search for the best release again.
