Features/Improvements Requests (Page 66 of 84)

Hey santah, there seems to be a problem with the Stop Tracking feature. I can do it for some shows, but not others.
When I click to stop tracking on something that doesn't work, I'm just immediately sent to the top of the page.
Can't find any particular link between the ones that it works for and the others it doesn't, so I can't really give you more than that.
Randomly, https://next-episode.net/the-slime-diar … as-a-slime works, but https://next-episode.net/peter-grill-an … phers-time doesn't.

Stop tracking is not fixed (for me anyway), clicking the link does nothing.
This is on all my shows in my current track page.

Yea, everything else works on the site

It happens to me as well every now and then. It doesn't send me to the top of the page though; it just does nothing. However, a simple page refresh always works for me. I've tested it across Firefox, Edge, and Chrome. It seems to be random, no particular show in question, and it also seems to only occur after I click on an episode to expand its summary, and after collapsing it. Although I must admit santah that I haven't experienced this problem so far this week. And this is based on heavy usage interacting with my watchlists on a weekly basis.

Yeah, hopefully it's fixed for you as well. Let me know if it happens again.

There is now a pull request in to get it fixed, so hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Good looking out Wiz. Everything's been fine since my last occurrence a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, all good. Will do santah. Thanks!

I wouldn't say "dumb" - but it's a very niche idea. And it might cause even more people to assume that this site is a streaming service (or something like that).

Maybe santah has a different idea for how you can do what you want to do in an easier way?

Could that be done on as a hover over a <span> element to show a <div> element?

Well, I don't know about the rest of the folks, but when I'm doing any sort of management, I'm not going to be doing that on a phone screen. Sure, tapping one or two things in the app is fine, but it's sluggish and limited and the screen real-estate is tiny, so actual, you know, WORK, needs a computer. When I'm doing work like this, I'm opening like 30 windows at a time and clicking 3-4 times a second. (but only because I need to open the lot to see the status, I suppose)
So I guess that an idea for a mouse-over in a browser would be the least intrusive on the UI? But a mouse-over takes a full second to open up, so I might get annoyed waiting and just open the lot up anyway....
As you say, it wouldn't really be good having it disappear in the collapsed mode, because that would defeat the purpose of actually showing it.
From a productivity standpoint, my ideal would always be seeing the information right in my face, even on the Home page but I realize that will certainly not be for everyone.

I think we've discussed colors before, and I know that the color scheme here is seriously limited, but adding color to the symbols would be even better from a visibility/productivity standpoint. ▷⏸▢

But I guess this could also just be done with fully colored titles instead of symbols? Regular text for a running show, maybe a green for not running, and red for ended? To not confuse with the links/followed links colors. So:
"CSI: Vegas" is running and would thus be normal (there's no real need to color a default state), "Willow" is not running and would thus be "Willow" and "NCIS: New Orleans" is ended and would thus be "NCIS: New Orleans".
It would obviously have to be a user setting, so a user could choose to ruin their UI with the extra colors, or have it "regular".

To lighton's point, if actual play/pause symbols are problematic, there could be simple letters:
(R)unning, (N)ot currently running & (E)nded.
And yes, definitely only the three categories. All the non-running categories have the same function in this respect: It ain't running now, but it may or may not run some day.

None of this solves the point of adding complexity to the UI for a niche purpose, though, but I see there's at least two of us eedjits here!

And to scushman's point, because there isn't always information on how many episodes there are in the season, I don't think it would be beneficial to have that as a perma-display. And although I am advocating for adding 2-4 characters to practically every show title on the page, adding another 5 for the episode count would be going too far. Besides, more often than not, the field would just be empty. But I'd definitely like to be able to see that in a mouse-over if the information were available. Nice idea, fellow Niche!

It would change my life using this app if there was a way to assign my shows to folders or tag them. There are some I watch with my husband and others I watch with a friend or my kids or whatever. It’d be amazing to have a way to bucket these within the app versus scrolling through everything any time I’m looking through my shows. My podcast app has this and it’s been a game changer!

(2019-07, regarding show filters, Link)

In addition to keeping the current filters, would it be possible to have an advanced search we can switch to? It could be really useful to, among other things, be able to search for "shows with genres A, B or C, but none with genres D, E or F" (black-/whitelist).

The current filters are good to get an easy overview because they don't take a lot of space; an optional advanced search could actually make use of whatever vertical space it needs to include every option (example).

Alternately, this could also work as a general advanced global search...
