Reset Progress from TV Page

Having the watch percentage change everywhere could be overkill. Could you add a line to the progress percentage box with “xx% rewatched”? Or even change it entirely from “100% watched” to “xx% rewatched” once the rewatch has been initiated.

I agree we need both the overall watched and rewatching info to be clear.

@zax2000

Could the progress bar change color when a rewatch has been initiated? Maybe the bar stays bright red to show the initial completion, but during a rewatch a new color overlays. Maybe green? Or a different shade of red? (I like the green, as it stands out and implies a positive action.)

Good idea, and yes we’d like use color and/or icons to indicate it’s rewatching.

@zax2000

Maybe add a “Rewatches” counter to the season/series pages (and to our annual stats). Next to the progress percentage you could note “3 Rewatches (174 total watches)”. But the “x Rewatches” would only appear if you complete a rewatch of the entire season/series.

Possibly, this might be too intense but its an interesting idea to look into deeper.

@zax2000

I like the idea of a prominent “Initiate Rewatch” button on a season/series page, but it should be dimmed/unavailable until 100% of a show has been watched.

No, I wouldn’t want to limit it to 100% watched to allow a rewatch. There are plenty of valid reasons for wanting to reset the progress for actively airing shows. I do this myself where I watch a season then someone else wants to watch with me so I reset the progress and we start watching from episode 1.

Be sure to enable rewatches at the season level and not just the show level Currently, when trying to do this via the Progress page, you can only “Reset Progress” at the show level. Not great if you only care to rewatch a particular season.

It’s not setup to do this and would get quite complicated to enable on the season level. Not as clean, but this could be accomplished by resetting the show and hiding seasons.
