Create Condition from Preview Area

[Zerauskire]

Which part of Airwave is this for?

Server / admin (channels, scheduling, AI lineup, imports)

What problem does this solve?

No real problem. Just an added convenience.

What would you like to see?

I'll do my best to explain this and hope it makes sense.

When creating a channel, there's a little "Preview" area. Sometimes, the conditions may catch just a few specific shows or movies you don't want it to. It would be nice is there was a feature in the Preview area where you could just click an overlay button or right-click or something and it automatically append a new condition above.

So for example, let's say I added all 90s cartoons for my channel and I just happen to see that one show got caught up in the list that I don't want in there. I can certainly just go great a condition that removes it, but it would be nice if there was just a little overlay button on the poster for that show to "remove it". It could just create a condition for me above to exclude that title.

Not a huge deal but would be a nice added feature.

I like this idea. Sometimes the available filters just don't catch things as expected and being able to click on a show/movie in the preview list to remove it would be super helpful.

@Zerauskire I think you will like the new modes that are available

• Playlist/collection mode - build channels from playlists and collections instead of a filter
• Manual mode - search for and add movies, tv shows, or even specific episodes

Yeah. That looks awesome man. I'll do an update when I have some time and check it out. Keep up the great work! Things are coming along nicely.

This looks good. Would be nice if we could use the filters to select things, so for example, based on the existing filter, when we go to Manual, it keeps the current filter mode and lets us deselect/select things.

Or, add the ability to search for Plex tags like Decade or Genre.

Having the Playlist and Collection option will help a lot though, as this can all be manually built on Plex and then let Airwave pick it up.

@motoridersd good ideas! I like the idea that swapping to manual mode could let you refine what you found with the filter and then adding smart search queries like decade/genre could make manual mode easier to use than filter mode.
