Topic: Questions regarding premium and site in general

Hi,

I'm a new user here, love it so far, and I'm trying to figure some things out but I couldn't seem to find the answers what I'm looking for.
If any of these question were answered before I apologize and feel free to point me to the right topic if possible.

1. I'm trying out the premium features on the website and regarding the special episodes something is not clear. Thanks to Premium all special episodes are hidden on the website. Does that mean that if I add a whole season of a show to my episodes, I add only the normal ones or the hidden special ones too, I just don't see them ?
So for example if currently I have 100 episodes watched and add a new season with 25 normal episodes and 2 HIDDEN specials, will I have 125 or 127 on my list ?

2. Is there a way to follow movie directors? I've seen that you can follow creators and actors to get notifications regarding their new shows, but I wonder if I can do the same with movies ?
For ex. can I be notified if David Fincher announces a new movie?

3. Is there a way to see how many movies are currently on my watched list? The IMDB import didn't work, only recognized 250 movies out of over 1700, so I'm adding everything manually and it would be useful to see how many have been added up till now.

4. Is there a Time spent watching option for movies ?

5. Can you mark episodes marked in advance? For example most of The Walking Dead series are shown for Monday morning in the calendar, but AMC Plus let's you watch the episodes Sunday or sometimes even a whole week before. Can I mark them watched Sunday or I have to wait Monday for them to appear ?

Thank you in advance!

Have a nice day,
usrnmvg

Hey there and welcome to Next Episode!

1) "Does that mean that if I add a whole season of a show to my episodes, I add only the normal ones or the hidden special ones too, I just don't see them " - how are you adding a season of a show to your episodes?

I'm guessing what you mean here is that you mark watched a whole season and you're asking if the special episodes are marked watched as well? If so - no, they are not marked watched. You just don't see them. If you uncheck the setting that hides them - they'll show up in your not yet watched Episodes.

2) No way to follow movie directors, for now

3) It does not show count, for now, but that is a good idea to add that count somewhere on the Movies page. If you had issues with the import - can you please get in touch at [email protected] with the link to the list you're importing and I'll try to figure out what is going on and fix it.

4) No

5) I'm afraid not. I know about the problem with The Walking Dead, we go back and forth between tracking it on their streaming service and on their regular channel. I'm yet to find an ideal solution to this problem smile

Cheers!

Yes, this is what I meant, I just didn't phrase it correctly. Basically I don't want to look at my Time spent in episodes, see that I've watched 1000 episodes and actually 200 out of those are specials.
It is neat that they are not marked watched automatically.

Thanks for the quick answer!

I have a question about Premium. I paid to upgrade on my iPhone. But my iPad and the website don’t show me as a premium member. Does Premium only apply to 1 device?

Hey there.

The app Pro Upgrade, which is a small one time payment that removes the ads and gives some features on the app is different from the website Premium membership, which is a (also not expensive) subscription that unlocks a ton more functionality on the website.

It's free to try for a whole month, check it out!
