Improve Up Next -> Watching list selection for TV Show Episodes

Hi, I’d like to suggest improvements to “Watching” in “Up Next” for TV Shows. These are potentially bugs, or suggestions, depending on how you see it.

N.B., I am using Infuse in Library mode with a webdav backend.

1:

Currently Watching in Up Next only shows the next episode only if I actually watch the episode on Infuse. It does not show the next episode if it gets marked as watched as part of a Trakt sync. I would expect if I mark an episode as watched on Trakt, and this is synchronised to Infuse, then Infuse would recognise this and show the subsequent episode as Watching in Up Next.

This is mainly problematic when watching Infuse with other people; only the current user will be interacting with Infuse, while the other people have to manually mark the episode as watched on Trakt, and then Infuse does not update the Watching in Up Next correctly for them.

2:

Currently Watching in Up Next only shows the next episode if it is immediately available in the Library. If I watch the latest episode of a TV Show, then wait a week for the next episode to come out, then it is not automatically added to Watching in Up Next. I would expect Infuse to automatically add new episodes in the library to Watching in Up Next if the previous one is already marked as watched.

I’ve raised these suggestions for Watching in Up Next as that is currently how it feels Watching is meant to work (given that it automatically adds unwatched episodes there if you watch the previous one), but this could also be seen as suggestions for a separate “On Deck” section for the home screen instead.

Thanks for the work on the application!
