Quality of Life Features - Episodes, Source, etc

[Helios2]

I record programs from multiple different sources (Antenna, TVE, PlayOn). When looking through my recorded shows I would love to see some additional details. See below for specifics.

When I click on a show in the admin panel, it brings up the show title, description/summary, and shows all the recorded episodes. I'd love it to also show the following details:

• The source where it was recorded (Antenna, TVE, PlayOn, etc.). -- This would help me troubleshoot issues and also quickly see what source it was on in case I need to record new episodes that aren't setup automatically (i.e. PlayOn).

• The recording quality (i.e. 720p, 1080p, 4k, etc.). I know you can find this by clicking on the options and selecting 'view details', but I don't want to have to do this to see the quality of each individual recording. I know it already shows the basics (HD, DVS, etc.), but a simple 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 4k, logos would be preferred. -- Having a specific logo for each resolution would allow me to see if there are any episodes I want to upgrade to a higher resolution when looking through the admin panel.

• The details of the show. 1st Aired Date, Number of Seasons, Number of Episodes for each season. -- If I knew how many seasons and episodes there are, then I will know if I am missing any. Ideally, it would also be great to know (or allow me to input a manual field) what streaming service the show or movie is available on. That way, if I can't find it via TVE or Antenna, I will know where to look. I do all of this already, but it involves multiple steps, google searches, etc. If it had these details right on the show/movie description page, it would be extremely helpful.

Here is a mockup...

Ideally, it would also be great to know (or allow me to input a manual field) what streaming service the show or movie is available on. That way, if I can't find it via TVE or Antenna, I will know where to look.

Stream Link/Files Manager [SLM] (an extension for Streaming Library Manager) can already do this for you and integrate the results right into Channels.

[RELEASE] Stream Link Manager for Channels [Streaming Library Manager Extension]

[380453418-37e660b6-686f-45d5-86bc-1f169db0ba1c] Stream Link Manager for Channels In Channels DVR, users have the ability to add "Stream Links" and "Stream Files" as local content. These Stream Links/Files appear as normal Movies, TV Shows, and Videos next to recorded and other content. While Stream Files act like regular local media and directly play in the Channels app or admin web page, Stream Links do not. Instead, clicking on one of these launches the appropriate app or web page and play…

I do this even for shows I'm recording. Take "The Simpsons", for instance. I have the recording from OTA, but I also have the Stream Link to Hulu/Disney+ in case something went wrong with the recording or a football game went late or whatever:

Never have to think about it; the episodes just show up!

Even if you don't want the episodes to automatically get added or you just want to use PlayOn to get a file, you can still check availability in multiple ways:

The program could even answer other questions you have like how many episodes are available per season and how many are missing:

This is not to say I don't like a lot of the other ideas you presented, just that there are some things available to you right now! Since the Devs are not looking to do the Streaming Services search integration themselves, SLM is really your only option for the time being when it comes to stuff like this.

Wow, seems like something I should check out further, thank you for all the details.
