Introducing Next Up Notifications

This addon will popup a next up notification at a specified time period before the end (default is 30 seconds). Under the hood it checks whatever is playing and when it is an episode checks for the next unwatched episode in your library. It will then present that information in a popup style to allow quicker play of the next item or to cancel the next episode playing automatically.

You can configure the time before the end of the tv show the notification will popup at in the settings (under Addons->Services), the default mode when nothing is pressed, and the number of episodes before showing the "still watching" window.

Skinners can skin the popup to their liking by checking the readme: Github

To install you can now get the addon from the official kodi repository, it's located under Services.

Or from Github: Github

-------------------------- FAQ --------------------------------------------

1. The dialogs look different in the skin I use, why and what can be done? This is because the default dialogs cannot include things like fonts etc. Ask the author of your skin to make a custom version.

2. It does not work for me...what can I do? Go to the settings, under advanced set the log level to debug, restart kodi, play an episode and when it gets to the end (and therefore not worked) Post a log in the thread.

3. My watched episodes are not included. Yes this is by default, you can however include watched episodes by turning the setting on in the settings section.

Awesome!
Works great.

@Hitcher:
Isn't this something that you wanted for fTV?

[sualfred]

Just have a request:
- Providing the thumbnail of the next episode
- 3rd button to cancel and stop the script for a period of time. I always watch episodes at night and fell asleep. With this option it won't override possible available power saving options

Maybe a toggle that would change the default behaviour from Play to Dont Play?

Having a small toggle switch on the GUI controlling a variable in settings.xml is what I am thinking.

Yes the thumbnail can be provided but it would then be up to the skinner to show it. I'm leaving the default as it is but if any skinner requests the episode thumb this can be done easily.

Yeah that would work, though I think the setting just needs to be in the skin settings. Something like "default behaviour" play/don't play

[sualfred]

I'm fine with just providing a control ID for the thumb and I'm already adjusting the .xml for my needs.
Again thanks for that addon, that is something I was waiting for years.

I have an element like this in LazyTV, but it is a dialog once the show completely ends or the user stops it within the last minute or so.

Something like this is/was on the todo list, and part of that was that sort of toggle (going into the settings is a bit of a pain). My plan was to make it a hidden part of the overlay (at the bottom) that would be brought up by pushing down.

Cool, I added control ID 3008 for the episode thumb. Can you post a screenshot when your done as I like to see different implementations

I added it in the settings for now. If you would like to look at the code and submit a pull request for the behaviour you describe it could be useful.

Is it possible to have an option to play the next episode that follows (i.e. if i watched s04e02, it would say s04e03 was up next even if s02e03 was unwatched for some reason).

I have a large library and thus a large lot of unwatched episodes whether it being me not watching them or library being rescanned. If its not possible then grand just thought i'd enquire

That's what lazyTV does. Let me look at the code.

[Karnagious]

Would it be able to check whether what is being watched is part of a Playlist? And maybe site the next item in the Playlist instead?

Nice, this is the one I have in my mod of Arctic, uses icons and allows the plot to be hidden

I want to keep it as simple as possible, but if it's something trivial then just let me know.

No idea on this one TBH, I think with playlists you've already decided what items will be played next so the option to play next quicker is not really as useful.

I often watch tvshows twice or more times so they already have been flagged as watched. Some shows are like pizza and I could eat it every day?
