Would it be possible to have a simple playlist for TV shows based on the file name?
Potentially a library option called "Filelist" perhaps.
It would recursively scan nominated folders and return a directory listing and inside each directory listing have the filenames. (It has to do this anyway when creating library). It doesn't matter what the name of the file is.
I would then like to be able to apply the watched /unwatched / all options to it.
This way XBMC doesn't care about naming conventions and doesn't have to scrape the internet for tv show information. It just returns a list of filenames in the directory and keeps a reord if it has been watched or not.
ie. I want a very simple watched / not watched playlist. I don't care and don't want to have to rename files etc. to have them appear in library mode.
Thanks
