While not exactly the same thing as your script, as it does not loop back on itself once it hits the end, you can tell the Video Library to play all content in a specified folder. Highlight a folder and hit whatever key you have mapped to INFO.

Mythvideo Playlists

This is correct. But this script enables me to start watching any episode within a folder (the last one, I actually watched) and after that episode the next one is playing.

Good point. I forgot all about trying to start mid-playlist. wagnerrp 19:30, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Even if the next episode is in a follow up season folder, eg.:

Frasier
|
+-- Season 01
|    |- Frasier - S01E01 - ...
|    |- Frasier - S01E02 - ...
|    .
|    .
|    |- Frasier - S01E24 - ...
|
+-- Season 02
|    |- Frasier - S02E01 - ...
|    |- Frasier - S02E02 - ...
|    .
|    .

After playing S01E24, S02E01 will play automatically.

I'm also cleaning filemarkups for series with a simple sql query once a day to avoid mythvideo asking me if I want to watch from the beginning or from the last position. I know, I could turn off this behaviour completely, but I only want to have it disabled for series, not for movies or documentaries. Especially children's series, where I don't want the kids to have to answer the mythvideo question :)
