I watch a lot of different TV series on my AppleTV and I like to watch a few episodes, then go to another series and be back later, And so I like the “watching” feature of the home screen, as I can see the last unseen episode of the series I have started to watch.
Sadly, the strip of “watching” feature displays only 15 panels, which is OK for films, but by far not enough for TV series.
Would it be possible to increase that number of panels, or even make a new “watching” strip for TV series only ?
Thank you

Just a couple of thoughts about how Up Next could be improved and please let me know if any of these are planned features.
(1) Up Next list is far too short (for me). Currently, I have to use a wonderful app called Watcht for Trakt Watcht for Trakt on the App Store to have a proper up next list. Now don’t get me wrong, I love that app but it would just be a lot more convenient to have this baked into Infuse natively. Giving the user the choice of how long they want their UpNext list to be with the current way as the default.
(2) Up Next could be separated so there is one for TV Shows and a separate one for Movies.
What do you guys think?

Welcome to the forum!
That would make it a lot easier if the number of TV shows could be increased and separate from the Movies. I too like to mini binge on several shows at once and this would help.
Also there’s another suggestion for being able to create playlists that would incorporate your suggestions as well as others.
You can see that suggestion here
With the 7.3 update, continue watching/upnext no longer has the option to see more. So I only get a limited number of shows. Could you please add this back?

Are you talking about the “Up Next List” top row on the home screen of Infuse where it says “Watching”?
Yep that’s the one. It used to let you select more and have a separate screen with a complete continue watching from my plex server

I recall giving this feedback during beta feedback. 15 shows is hardly enough bandwidth for most TV watchers…

Could you count how many you are seeing in the watching list?
EDIT TO ADD:
I just verified with Infuse 7.2.1 that the “Up Next List” only shows up to 15 of the “Watching” and up to 15 of the “Recently Added” and there is no “See All” option at the end.
But on deck pulling from Plex was unlimited and did show the more at the end, now it’s been amalgamated into continue watching with it’s 15 limitation.

Plex wasn’t mentioned by the original poster in the first post.
Meaning I should open a new thread for a similar issue? And then have it combined into this thereafter? Com’on… 
. The fundamental issue remains. 15 shows are inadequate…

I am using a plex server. This has really ruined the usability for me so I’m now back using the shield

In addition to the issue mentioned by OP, the change to merge these lists made me stop using Infuse. I highly dislike it and switched back to Plex for now.

Now that On Deck items appear in the Watching list we realize the 15 item limit is too low.
We’re working to expand the Watching list for one of the next updates. Probably 7.3.2 since 7.3.1 has already been submitted to Apple.

That’s great to hear. Thank you!
Any chance we can have the new layout as an option? I greatly preferred the top row being items I was in the middle of, with a separate row of On Deck. While I see what you were going for, this new layout is not acceptable for me, and most importantly for the WIFE. As such we’re now using the Plex client.

I was hoping for this as well, but @james mentioned elsewhere that it’s a Plex change, so neither Infuse nor the Plex clients will have it going forward.
Ah. Well. Hopefully the removal of the 15-item limit will make it usable.

The Watching Section is the most important area for my family. They want to see much more like they were used to from Plex where it shows the entire up next list of TV show episodes in reverse chronological order.
I know that it will be extended from 15 to 20 based on the roadmap note from James. That’s a very welcome change but I think it falls short of what is possible or options users should have. Ideally I’d have it like it is in Plex or be able to change how many items users want in the watching section like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50… I’m not sure what the benefit is of the present 15 limit or the upcoming 20 limit. It is very restricting when we have a dozen documentary series we are in the middle of watching and about two dozen of TV shows.
