Missing Episodes in series overview
This was originally requested on the old MediaElch forum
There should be an icon or a text in the TV Show overview to check fast if there is something missing and/or an filter option to just show shows with missing episodes.
There is probably no need for an additional icon, unless you also want to display the episode title.
In fact, what about adding the following pieces of information after the tvshow title: [number of episodes in the library/total number of episodes of the tvshow]
According to tv.com the tvshow "Once upon a time" has 156 episodes with the specials. Let's suppose there are 15 missing episodes. The TvShow title in MediaElch could look like: Once upon a time (2011) [141/156]
It probably is not a good idea to also include the specials into the total count. They might better be listed separately. For example, for "Once upon a time", that has 9 specials, when 2 are missing:
Once upon a time (2011) [141/156,7/9]
Similar pieces of information should also be displayed at each season level. For example:
Once upon a time (2011) [141/156,7/9] Season 00 [7/9] Season 01 [19/22] Season 02 [22/22] Season 03 [20/22]
A button that expands the tree with the TvShows one level, to see the seasons without the episodes like in the example above would be helpful to quickly get an overview what episodes are missing.
Finally, one last point: how to handle TvShows, that have not ended yet?
Ideally: increase the total number of episodes every time a new episode has been broadcasted. This might be problematic. Maybe, ignore the current season of a TvShow,... Others might have a better idea.

Thanks again for all the work you are putting into improviding MediaElch.
Good points, thank you. :-)
The "missing episodes" feature needs re-polishing as well. It's responsible for quite a few crashes (i.e. the way it is implemented leads to a few crashes). I'll keep this in mind.
Hello. I checked release notes, settings, etc. but it seems you forgot about this feature. I'd love so much to have it, the only thing I need to let "Show Missing Episodes" enabled permanently. Thank you.
Hi,
yes. Sometimes feature requests are forgotten about. But it's also that I have only limited time to develop for MediaElch. I also noticed that "Show missing episodes" is buggy. Sometimes all episodes are shown, sometimes not. That also needs investigation.

I'm not sure if this was touched later, but there actually already is an icon. Problem is: The icon is "only" on the affected seasons, but not on the episodes (or shows even, although that's not a big deal since it's enabled per Show anyway). So if you're seeing the icon there's no fast and easy way to tell which episodes are missing exactly, instead one has to click through every episode in a season individually and remember the missing episodes.
I'm missing S04E08-E13 specifically:
