Scheduling options for entire seasons of a TV show.

[gradation0746]

An option I used extensively in ersatztv was scheduling entire season of a TV show. In practice, I would be able to add individual seasons. The episodes in the season would play in order then move onto another season of another show.

Scheduling specific seasons is possible in the slot editor today

I may be missing how to correctly program this.

In the slots editor view single seasons of shows have been programmed into separate slots. Each slot is dynamic, the program count is set to the number of episodes in that particular season. The order is set to next episode.

As a test, six shows were chosen all with multiple seasons of different numbers of episodes. The result is that only the first season of a show is programmed into a slot. A first season of a show will play, then another first season of a different show, and so on but only the first seasons are programmed. Further, slots are sometimes out of episode order.

As an additional test, Season 1 of each show was removed from the slot list. The programming then started with only the second season.

It seems as though the resulting programming from the slots editor only uses the first season of shows programmed in the slot list. After removing Season 1 of each show, only Season 2 of each show was programmed, never moving on to Season 3 and beyond.

Is there a correct way to program this so that a random chosen season of any show will be played then move onto a random season of another show?
