Smart library management features
Describe your suggested feature
Hi devs, I'm requesting a few library-management features:
When I finish watching any content, it should automatically move from Watching to Watched.
When I start watching something from Plan to Watch, it should move to Watching.
If I stop watching any content for more than 3 months, it should automatically move to Dropped.
Also, when I reopen content that I’ve already finished, the play button should show Play Again instead of Play Movie, as if I’m watching it for the first time

I really like this idea! These library-management features would significantly improve the user experience.
Maybe we could formalize defining the content status tabs like this:
- Watching: Your currently watched content (in progress).
- On-Hold: When the content is waiting for a new season, or you've paused indefinitely.
- Plan to Watch: Content that has not yet been started.
- Completed: Content that has been fully finished.
- Dropped: Content abandoned due to prolonged inactivity (e.g., your suggested $X$ months).
We can then implement the suggested automation logic based on these definitions:
Proposed Automation Rules
1. Starting Content:
- Content should automatically move from any other status (Plan to Watch, On-Hold, and etc.) to Watching upon playback.
2. Finished Watching Content:
- Movies: Move to Completed.
- Series (Finale): If the final episode of the final season is finished, move to Completed.
- Series (Season Break): If the current season is finished, but the series is confirmed to be continuing, move to On-Hold (while waiting for the next season release).
- Series (On-Going): If an episode is finished but there is an upcoming, unreleased episode, the status stays in Watching.
3.Inactivity:
- If there is no activity for X months while the content is in Watching, it should automatically move to Dropped.
Also, allowing users to rearrange the order of these tabs would be a great quality-of-life feature!
