#3480: Automatic Recording Group Playback

I record my recordings to several Recording Groups. A Recording Group for
my 3 year old son contains many recording from 5-10 minutes long and about
10-15 recordings a day. The series are constraint to allow a maximum of 2
recordings, overwriting older ones. My son looks 4 times a day for about
20 minutes to an hour. Making several playlists a day is tedious job.
The existing Menu-option "Add this Group to Playlist" at the Recording
Group is in my Opinion a useless option, as I don't think someone wil
select all recordings starting always with the oldest ones.
What I would like is something what I named "Automatic Recording Group
Playback":
The user can pick a recording from a recording group, which is configured
for "Automatic Playlist Playback". After the playback finishes a bookmark
is set (see my sidenote below) and the next recording (newer date or
respecting the defined sorting) is automatically shown.
The bookmark functions like a marker identifying the user which recordings
have been seen and the user can use to start a new playback session.
Sidenote:
mythtv lacks an Icon identifying a recording has been seen. The bookmark
can be used for it, after the recording finishes, instead of not setting a
bookmark, it could (should) set a bookmark on the first frame.
Alternative to the existing "Menu - Recording List Menu - Add this
recording to Playlist" a new option "Add this and newer recordings to
Playlist" could be presented to the user. Afterwards the user needs to
"only" select the "Menu - Recording List Menu - Playlist options" and
"Play".
A further alternative which is much easier as the previous one would be an
Option in the "Recording List Menu": "Play this and newer Recordings".
One of the alternatives would help be a lot, so I like to hear from you
what your thoughts about this are.
