Updated from v1.2.0 to v1.4.0. Key additions since the original submission:

• Multi-instance sync — share watch progress across Kodi devices via shared MariaDB (requires script.module.pymysql)
• Positioned specials — TVDB-positioned specials included in watch order
• Movie chance slider — replaces the old ratio setting with intuitive percentage
• Playlist continuation — fully configurable with countdown timer
• Bug fixes — clone creation on SteamOS/Arch, partial episode prioritization

The addon has been in daily use and is stable. Would appreciate a review when someone has time. Thanks!

Just a note that service.py and default.py aren't cached, so having code in there can cause some performance issues. This isn't a show stopper, but for a future update you might consider moving all of those things into another file and then call it from the two main files.
