Auto play next episodes of the season you are watching.
Hi,
This might be a niche feature. However I have just been watching the tv-series 24. And quite a few episodes. It is very tireing to change episodes :-)
It would be cool to be able to be lazy and have the next episode auto-start when you have one of those days. :0)

Hmm autoplay should be its own setting then, not every one wants it.
Maybe a dialog if the next episode is found?
"Play next episode?" Yes / Back to list
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?I like this, not because I'm lazy (you might be, though :p), but because it'll be a big "ease of use" thing to a wider audience. -
Inappropriate?:-) I'm going for a run now... :-)

I think that this is an excellent suggestion...
I have one addition to the request... if there is a "next" or "previous" episode found for the one currently being watched, when the pause/stop/ffw/rewind menu is activated that there is also two new options displayed to jump forward or backward an episode.
This would allow you to quickly move to the next episode and avoid waiting through credits to get to the end of the current video.
Also, if you decided you started the wrong episode you could easily jump to the next/prev. -
Inappropriate?Something Boxee might want to borrow from Windows Media Center -- the "playback stopped / finished" screen. Instead of dropping you back at the episode list, WMC shows you a couple of relevant options.
If you hit the stop button during the episode: Restart / Menu
If the episode runs to the end*: Replay / Menu
You could add the "Next Episode" option to the End screen.
(* Some discussions have taken place over how far from the end Boxee should consider "stopped" playback as "finished watching"... the definition of "end" should eventually follow the same rule)

Inappropriate?One way would be to use the proven practice of what DVD menus have been offering for years now - play specific episodes or a "play all" option that logically plays all episodes of said program.
This would sit in the top of the season selections (play all episodes in all seasons, which would be overkill but consistent) and have the same option of "play all episodes in the season".
I’m intrigued

That's exactly what I was thinking, a play all button that would play all the subsequent episodes in a season. But i was thinking it would come up along with the "Play" and "Info" selections when you select a file.
