Create a Watch Later list for Library

Hello Everyone!

New to Channels and loving what it has to offer. I moved my personal media collection over to Channels. I was using Infuse to handle all of my local media collection. Both are very similar but there is one function of Infuse that I would like to duplicate into Channels. That function is a "Watch Later" list.

You may have some movies that you have recently added, or some older movies that you come across that you would like to re-watch again... Infuse had a Watch Later list that you could quickly add the movies to. This list would appear near the top of the movies list to give you quick access to movies that you've added to watch later.

Any idea on how to handle this? I thought about making a Collection for this, but then you need to make the name start with a number or letter that would allow it to stay at the top of the list of the other Collections. Also, a Collection is a subfolder inside the Library so it wouldn't be as noticeable. It would be nice to have it look like the "Up Next" section. Too bad you can't just add movies to the "Up Next" section, as that would solve my question.

Has anyone come up with a unique way to display movies that you want to watch later without quickly playing then stopping the movie?

Thanks!

You should change this to a feature request. It's a great idea. I have hundreds of movies and while browsing around several titles that I haven't seen catch my eye. I agree it would be great to add them to a list.

Best workaround I have come up with is to mark them as favorites and then after you watch them remove the title from favorites.

Agreed, yes, make this a feature request, I’d vote for it too, that would be very handy indeed.

Thanks, everyone!

I thought I put this in the DVR and feature request section. That’s what it says above or did someone else change this for me? If someone changed this, thank you for doing that.

He's the culprit

No problem. You're welcome.
