Sometimes Last Played <is not in the last (X) (period)> leaves played files in my smartlist.  Last Played seems to require a certain percentage of the file to be played to register. Perhaps I'm not hitting the limit--files played through to the end do seem to register. If that's not the reason I'm flummoxed.

Anyway, I think what I want is to identify in some fashion files that have been opened in the player for at least x minutes or x percentage of the file duration. Bottom line is I want my smartlists that execute on last played to work. Please help.

last played is set when a file is played for more then 50%. when that is not the case the last skipped is set. also for audio files a bookmark is left when stopped before the end, so maybe that could give a clue for the files not played to the end. maybe the bookmark number for audio files is something like miliseconds played.

Thank you. I've gotten Last Skipped to work for me (with a little behavioral modification on my part; I sometimes hit "stop" rather than "next" which does not register as skipped. I can adjust).

Now if I could just get MC to remember what has been imported at some earlier point after a hard drive re-registers and re-imports I'd be golden. Like a database it compares imported files against to see if they've been imported earlier. Any thoughts on that?

both register as skipped when it is done before 50 %. there is a small 'buffer' though made for videos, because they use the bookmark. cant remember how long. a few seconds i believe.

its not totally clear to me. but have you set the autoimport to: protect network drives.
maybe you could be a bit more specific about what you are doing when re-registring a hard drive.

Occasionally Windows will reassign my drive letters to attached hard drives (I have them on a couple of different power strips that I power up and down independently fairly often). When that happens MC updates the hard drive files to match external changes, registering old files as new imports.

i can only advise to assign letters to your discs a bit away from the start of the alphabet. put the letter also in the drive name, that makes it easy when you reinstall windows. i never fire up all my external drives (except for the screenshot attached). not only for loosing the connection to mc, but also because you do not want to have all files analyzed everytime, or thumbs build etc. over the years i never had windows reassign a drive.
