Help needed: library collection to show only unwatched episodes of a TV show that is recorded from different sources (i.e. different program IDs)

I must be missing something very simple but let's just say I've had a long week and my brain is fried right now. :grin:

I record the TV show "Hot Bench" that airs on different sources and appears as 4 different shows in recordings/library due to different program IDs.

I wanted to create a smart library collection that only shows unwatched episodes for this TV show.
To my surprise, I don't see an option to choose a show title in the smart rules:

In the simple view, I can pick these 4 shows but there is no filter for unwatched episodes only:

Now I'm even questioning if a collection is the way to do it.

Maybe after I get some rest over the weekend, that will come to me but at this time I can't seem to get it. :laughing:

Additional information, in case that matters (I don't think so but mentioning anyway), all my clients are based on Android TV.

I think you can do this under advanced using title=[Hot Bench]

Collections are for Movies and TV Shows, not episodes. What you want is Playlists. Though they're only available on tvOS and iOS right now.

Ah OK, makes sense. Thank you for the clarification. I will patiently wait for playlists to be implemented on Android. :grin:
