Super specific use case for the Shows Progress Watched endpoint and maybe a Feature Request

[kevincador]

Hi,

I've got a question from one of my users and it's not clear to me how (or why) the Shows Progress Watched endpoint calculates the next episode to watch in some really specific use cases.

The user is basically trying to "hide" or "drop" some episodes in the current season.
So watched episodes 1, 2, 3, didn't watch 4 and 5, watches 6 and want the next to be 7 (or nil if 7 is not out yet or if 6 is the last episode of the show).

My first thought is that it should work exactly like that since I'm using last_activity:watched but it's falling back to giving the episode 4 as the next to watch.

My second thought was to hide the episodes (I don't support hiding season yet but the season level is not useful for this case) but this doesn't seem to be supported via the API (only looked at the documentation).

So, my question is:

• Is the current behaviour really what is expected or is my expectation wrong? Would it be possible to change that?
• If not (or anyway), would it be possible to have a way to hide specific episodes from progress_watched?

Thanks!

Kevin
