[Enhancement]: Continue Series to show only books with sequence higher than a finished book in the same series
Describe the feature/enhancement
Suggestion
When listening to a series like Wheel of Time for example, there is a prequel book (book#0) which always lists in the "Continue Series" shelf unless it has been marked as finished.
If I do not listen to the book, but instead start at book#1 and want to continue in the series, book#0 will always be shown first on the "Continue Series" shelf.
I would wish for the "Continue Series" shelf (either by default or with a setting on library level for example) to only show me the lowest sequence of the series that is still higher than my highest finished, ie in this example it would show book#2.
In my case this makes it so that I do not get new books of the series showing up in the shelf when they are released. If I have listened to book#1-3 in series X somewhere else and listen to book#4-6 on ABS, then book#7 is released book#1 will still show up in the shelf.
I know I can mark them as played, but this also messes with my stats, so I would rather leave them un-listened to since this is also the truth for the service in particular.
Things to consider
- What should be shown (if anything) when you reach the last book of the series? My preference would be to not show it since you are caught up with the last book, but if it circles around I would also be OK with that.
- This would not really help re-listeners, but I think the Continue Series shelf is not great for that right now anyway (unless I'm doing something incorrectly)
- Should this be default-/library-/user-behaviour?
