The TV Shows library can show you Watched shows and Unwatched shows. And how much time is left in shows you've started. But there's no way to sort these unfinished tracks or gather them all together, say, with a Smart playlist rule.
So here's a script that will find TV Show tracks that haven't been played all the way through and copies them to a new appropriately named playlist:
property tvPlaylistName : "_Un-Finished TV Shows"
tell application "iTunes"
set tvLib to (get some playlist whose special kind is TV Shows)
-- delete any old playlists
if (exists playlist tvPlaylistName) then
delete (every playlist whose name is tvPlaylistName)
end if
-- recreate, add date in playlist description
make new playlist with properties {name:tvPlaylistName}
tell playlist tvPlaylistName
set description to date string of (get current date)
end tell
-- examine each TV track
repeat with i from 1 to (count tracks of tvLib)
try
set aTVTrack to track i of tvLib
if (bookmark of aTVTrack) > 0.0 then
duplicate aTVTrack to playlist tvPlaylistName
end if
end try
end repeat
end tell
Open this in Script Editor by clicking the little little script icon above. Save it named whatever you like with the Format "Script" (.scpt) in your ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/ folder so that it will be listed in the iTunes Script menu.
This script will need to be run manually every so often in order to refresh the playlist. Follow the instructions on this page to add a keyboard shortcut.
For Smarties: tracks in other libraries use the bookmark property (some by default) as well. Podcasts, Movies and Audiobooks can be sorted using a smilar script that targets those special kind libraries.
