I want to resurrect this discussion for a minute and maybe get some direction. I agree that the library would be the optimal place to manage local media, but it is my understanding that we do not have access to adding new features in the UI for libraries.
Basically, what I would like to create is a channel that will randomly select a TV series from my library and only play unwatched shows in a sequential order (S01E10 will not play if S01E09 is unwatched). Everytime a show ends, I want it to randomly select a different TV series. The unwatched filter and random option in Plex picks any unwatched show at random and does not care if you have not seen the shows before it.
I'm not sure that is possible via a channel, but from my limited reading I think a channel might be the only way to introduce such a feature.
Does anyone have thoughts?
Just as an FYI, I'm intending to have a stand-alone Plex server machine and a few Rasplex devices connected to my TVs.
