Title: Separate Watched Marks on Multi-client/Server Setup
Post by: ecaliva on August 02, 2021, 08:12:26 pm

How can I get separate watchlists (the watched ticks [I think this is separate from Number Plays]) for each of my clients in my client/server setup?

MC clients won't sync data to the server unless authentication is set in Media Network options.

You could use the new "After Playback Expression", which can be set differently on each client:
- create a Watched field for each client - [WatchedSrv], [WatchedBedroom], [WatchedWC], etc - with Edit Type "Check"
- on each client, set the expression to "setfield(WatchedSrv, 1)" , using the corresponding field name

You can then use these fields in Views or Playlists to create your per-client watchlists.
You'll need to create all fields on the Server and then restart MC Clients to see them. Then set the expressions on each client. As Jim said, Clients need to have authentication enabled (not guest/read-only mode)
