AndroidTV Watchlist ... so close, yet so far.

by smoelheim

Google FINALLY adds a watchlist to AndroidTV. Hooray! Finally, I can keep track of the shows that I watch!

EXCEPT.

All it does it display the show that I have added to a watchlist. It does not keep track of unwatched episodes. Lets say that I add Ted Lasso to my Watchlist. It shows up. Great. Then I watch all of the episodes. It should then go away, because in reality, there is nothing for me to watch there. Then, a year from now, season 3 comes out... it should "magically" reappear in my watchlist because I now have something to watch again.

And before anyone says it can't be done... many other services do this (Reelgood, WatchAid on AppleTV, etc).

Cmon Google. Lets get AndroidTV over the finish line and make it the true hub of the living room entertainment system.

Many of these huge corporations design things that sucks. You wonder how a team of hundred of 100k$ more per year individuals can be so bad, when better implementation exist on many android apps that are made by 2 dudes in their basement.

Integreting trakt.tv would've been so easy, and then you could have a real watchlist not like that junk

Agreed on your point but this would also require partner services to share all of your viewing data with Google. At least if you want it to be accurate.

Completely agree with this post

Also noticed that you can’t up/downvote a show unless you go to a system settings menu 3 levels deep, awful UX

Why not simply let me vote on stuff as I go into them on the Discover page, like Google TV?

How does Reelgood or WatchAid automatically track what you're watching on different streaming services? I don't think they do.

Does it come via a system software update or just an update to the AndroidTV homescreen app, and when will it be out? :)

The launcher would be so much better if it allowed trakt.tv tracking and recommendations.

Im sure the data that is shared to google was negotiated so no reason to blame android tv creators
