When user starts watching season N, start to monitor season N+1 #63
Comments
This is a great idea, and we could consider implementing this in a future iteration of Watchlistarr. The idea in theory works, we can intuit the season that somebody's watching, possibly even if they don't have the correct Discover Together permissions enabled (as long as the main user token provided is also the server owner, you can figure out who's watching what on your server). I think we need to refine this idea a bit more, it's not as clearly black and white as just fetching a watchlist, and I'm not sure if there's a single rule that can be applied for all shows. As a reverse proposal, we could look at deleting seasons that are below the season that the user is currently watching. So if user X watchlists show Y Seasons 1-3, and nobody else has watchlisted Y, then when X is watching season 2, we can safely delete season 1. |
I want to make it clear that I'm submitting this issue with no expectations that it will ever be implemented. I recognize this would be a pretty significant expansion of scope, but just throwing it out there to get some opinions.
Problem
Watchlistarr monitors based on the
SONARR_SEASON_MONITORING
environment variable, but the only really viable one isall
if you want people to be able to watch an entire series just by watchlisting. However, if they request something like NCIS and then decide they don't like it in season 1, we're left downloading the other 19 seasons.Proposal
As part of the Discover Together features, friends can share their watch history with each other (of course, we could get this from something like Tautulli or PMS itself as well).
With this information, I think it'd be possible to monitor series incrementally. The monitoring criteria could look like something along these lines:
