More series statuses

[markus101]

Right now we have a few series statuses that we show in the UI.

• Continuing (Not cancelled, monitored)
• Ended (Cancelled)
• Paused (Continuing, not monitored)

There are some others might be useful as well/shown in different contexts.

• Mid-season (currently airing episodes daily/weekly)
• Mid-season break (Christmas break for example)
• End of season (to the best of our knowledge)
• Cancelled, but airing final episodes (IE. Perception was cancelled before the end of the final season, but still had episodes to air, in that case we showed it as ended, which it was due to be, but it was still on air).

I think we should separate the monitor status and series status, we combined them before for ui sake but that seems like a bad choice in hindsight.

I agree 100%, we're actually hiding the Ended and Unmonitored state too, so things can only get better by separating them.

As long as we use reliable means to detect the hiatus status' instead of relying on metadata source status. But it can be tricky, some shows don't get their episodes added to tvdb until the episode airs, you don't want it to randomly detect a hiatus.

vaguely related but would be awesome nevertheless: A "seen" status per episode, so you wouldn't have to rely on other internet sites for that.

It would need to be based on the episode information we have, but if we don't have future episodes and an episode recently aired (at least 2 weeks, maybe 3), then I wouldn't classify it as on hiatus to avoid that.

I don't see the correlation, but something to consider if we ever start syncing watched statuses from other clients (Plex, Kodi, etc).

So at the moment, none of the TV series data sources hold the number of ordered episodes in a season?

If not, would be it be possible to request that this information is stored, and provided via their API?

[markus101]

Only by having the episodes listed, which Sonarr does know about, the problem is knowing if the episodes available is the complete list, there are often cases of shows not having episodes until the day/week they air so it could easily be unstable. Recently Grey's Anatomy only had 12 episodes listed for it's latest season until a day or two before the next episode was supposed to air, this was likely because the series as locked by TVDB admins, but is a prime example of the date not being accurate.
