Description

Describe your suggested feature

Love using your app so far! Here's a couple of feature ideas that could make it even better, especially for streaming/provider links and binge-watching:

  1. Add filtering for provider stream links using keywords or simple regex

This would help users quickly pick the best links by filtering on:

  • Quality (1080p, 4K, HDR10, etc.)
  • Language / Audio (English, Hindi, Dual Audio, Subbed, etc.)
  • File size (e.g. <1GB, <2GB)
  • Other details like codec (x264, x265, HEVC), release type (WEB-DL, BluRay, etc.)

Users could add their own include/exclude lists in settings, for example:

  • Include: 1080p, Hindi, WEB-DL
  • Exclude: 480p, CAM, xvid

Or for power users, allow basic regex patterns (like .1080. or ^.(BluRay|REMUX).$) to match exactly what they want.

This would save so much time scrolling through dozens of links!

  1. Auto-play next episode with customizable timer + popup

Once the filtering is in place (or even separately), add an option for users to set how quickly the next episode starts automatically after the current one ends.

  • Let users choose the countdown time in settings: e.g., 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec, or turn it off.
  • During the outro/credits, show a small "Next episode in X seconds" popup (like Netflix or YouTube) with Skip/Play Now buttons.
  • Remember the user's selected time so it applies every time.

These two features would make the experience way smoother and more user-friendly, especially when there are many provider options or during long watch sessions.

No hurry at all — just sharing some thoughts as a fan of the app. Thanks for building and maintaining it! 🙌 Keep up the awesome work 😄

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by separating the provider-link filtering request from the auto-play request, then inspect the existing provider-link, playback-completion, and settings flows. Done would require an agreed scope and acceptance criteria for each feature before implementation.
