Abstract

A device receives, from a media client, information associated with an event. The device identifies a user profile, associated with the event, including a tracking list which identifies one or more tracked series and a last watched list which identifies one or more last watched episodes associated with one or more watched series. The device determines a next available episode, associated with one of the one or more tracked series, based on the user profile, the information received from the media client, and content metadata which includes information associated with one or more available episodes associated with one or more available series. The device sends a suggestion identifying the next available episode to the media client for presentation to a user associated with the media client.
