Hi! Sorry if I missed it in the android app, but I think that adding links to an episode’s parent season/tv show from the episode view would be great.
e.g. Right now if I open the episode “A Great Show S03E09”, the episode views displays “S03E09 - A Great Show”, which isn’t clickable/touchable. The idea is that touching “S03E09” would open the “Season 3” view, and touching “A Great Show” or show’s cover would open the “A Great Show” view.
I cannot check right now but I think this is what’s done in Plex/Jellyfin apps.
Back stack with such navigation would not work as you could build infinite stacks. You can swipe left / right between episodes too making the need to go back less important.
I guess I forgot to add some context
This would be interesting when you opened the episode view from the Home Page, because it was in your ‘recently added’ or ‘continue’ lists. In this case, using the back button/swiping left or right doesn’t help navigating in the episode’s season/root show.
True for the infinite stack, I wonder how they do it in other apps to avoid this.
I’ve just checked in the Plex app, they do have “Go to season” and “Go to show” buttons in the three dots menu in the episode view, but maybe they’re not using a 100% back stack idk
They allow infinite stack, it’s not really nice design but Google API to handle this properly does not really exist specially if you want nice transitions.
Anyway Yatse have a cheat mode You can access show details from 3 dots then in the dialog press the image to go to the show season list.
Is there any chance you could add a “Go to show” button in the 3 dots menu on the now playing screen + the 3 dots menu on episodes on the home/tv pages?
That’d be much more user friendly by being clearly visible + requiring less navigation that needs to be memorized. I definitely wouldn’t have found that feature without finding this thread… and I have poor memory for stuff like that, so I’ve actually needed to relocate this thread 4 times so far.
Just recently migrated to Kodi/Yatse and navigating to a show from a currently playing episode or the home page has been a hard point. Feel like I’d be set if there was a more accessible/user friendly method.
