Open metadata at specific season/episode

[TheBeastLT]

An ability to open resource metadata at at specific season/episode. Currently it expects a season 1 to be present and defaults to it. The use case (mostly for anime) would be to have catalog entries for specific seasons (currently airing season, trending based on season), and when opened you could point to a specific video entry from where to start. I know it's just a good to have feature and maybe would only pollute the model, but I think it would be worth considering it.

We will consider adding this as a behaviorHint for meta.

I can't tell you if or when this will happen though, but I'll keep you updated on the progress.

I think I enjoy this feature the more I think of it. Another interesting use case is with channels, if we can jump to a particular video on meta click, the player will have the channel video list in the sidebar with the search feature. Which makes it a great feature to have for IPTV (at least) and reading playlist files in general.

@jaruba @TheBeastLT wouldn't externalUrl with a stremio://detail link work here?

[jaruba]

I think it would, actually

But it will only be able to open at a specific season/episode, it can't autoselect a season without an episode.

Ah fuck, we're wrong here. externalUrl is a stream property, he wants to open at a specific season/episode from meta.

So there is still no solution for this.
