Is it possible to create an option that a user could switch on (maybe just for VIP members) that would automatically rate a season of a show if you have watched & rated all of the episodes? The automatic rating would be the average of all of rhe episode ratings.
That’s a nifty idea!

I’m liking this idea alot, one thing I always forget to do is rate the season.
As most watch through plex or kodi a lot of people won’t be able to rate the season unless they go to the website or trakt app.

This would be a great idea, even better if done the same way iTunes automatically rates albums.
When you rate individual songs, the albums automatically gets an aggregate rating, even if you haven’t rated all of the songs. However, if you want to manually rate the album you still can, and your manual rating overrides the automatic rating. If you remove your manual rating it defaults back to the automatic rating.
When I rate series and seasons within a series, I don’t really rate them based on the average rating I gave the episodes, rather how I feel about that series/season as a whole. Sometimes it’s average, sometimes it’s higher, sometimes it’s lower. It just depends on a lot of things (including my ratings for the episodes).
I definitely want this feature, so long as we still get to manually rate everything. Maybe have a slightly different shade of red (or orange) to indicate ratings that are automatically applied.

Totally agree on the need for a manual override. An auto rating is great, but I also will sometimes rate an entire season higher or lower than what the average might be. It’s a different metric. A season of a show that’s 6-10 episodes that are all 7s or 8s would probably warrant something like a 9 just because of the level of difficulty inherent in producing such a consistent level of quality… On the other hand, a season of Law & Order would probably be rated pretty accurately by just taking the average of all of the episodes.
I definitely like the thought of being able to let the math set the season rating, but then have the option of going manual when needed.
