UI for TV shows is illogical. Suggestions. #3363

Describe the feature you'd like

When i click on a TV show, i can select "play all" or "play next". If i have not started watching the show, having "play next" seems odd as there would be no next, considering i haven't started watching yet. If i click "play all" it starts from episode 1, which is fine.

Instead of having "play all" and "play next", it would make more sense having a "play from beginning" and nothing else, having a "play next" on a show that hasn't been started makes no sense. When a show has started, a new button should appear next to "play from beginning" saying "resume" and it resumes from the last played episode.

If i go watch something else, when i return to the TV show, there is no option to resume, there's "play all" and "play next" but if i were in the middle of an episode "play next" isn't an option. Instead, to resume, i have to.

  1. Click the show
  2. Then click down and enter the show once again but this time showing individual episodes
  3. Choose episode
  4. Then click resume.

That's a lot of steps for something that should just be a button on the TV shows main page.

This is also something that I am mad about.
