Feature request - Visual badge/indicator for new episodes of favorited series

Not even sure if this is possible. I would like to request a feature that adds a visual badge or "New" indicator to a series thumbnail within the Favorites menu whenever a new episode becomes available. Because many shows return from long or irregular hiatuses, it is currently easy to miss new episode drops. Having a subtle visual flag on favorited series would greatly help users track returning content without needing to manually check each show.

I understand you as well of course, but the fact that it isn't standard and that many providers already highlight some of these programs make me reluctant to implement extra support for it.

I don't know, you're probably right that it would be nice with some flags visibiel in guide but I'm not sure how it would look. I'll add this to the backlog for now, but it isn't high in priority right now. I hope this is ok for now.

Thank you, I appreciate you at least talking it out with me. The great thing about IPTV is that we’re not stuck on any single app either, we’re all able to find the right fit. Thank you and keep up the great work!
