Description

Describe your suggested feature

There should be a proper watch history that keeps track of every single episode you watch. It should give you information such as the episode's number and title, the source you used, the subsection of the show it's in (e.g. if in the second season, it should say so), and when you watched it.

Naturally, clicking on it should being you back to that episode at the precise time you stopped watching it.

Other details

There are about two pre-existing features that may sound close but aren't.

The first is the search history. I think it is obvious why it doesn't fulfill this.

The other is the "continue watching" bit, which is helpful, but it only tracks for shows that you haven't "finished".

Acknowledgements

Research direction

Start by examining the existing continue watching and search history features, since the issue identifies them as related but insufficient. Determine how watch records can retain episode number, title, source, season or subsection, watched time, and the precise resume position. Done means a complete history is available and selecting an entry resumes the correct episode at the saved position.
