Keeping Track Of Videos Watched
« on: August 20, 2024, 03:42:47 pm »

Is there a way to keep track of videos watched?  If I am in a series and stop watching for a while it would be nice to have a flag or something that would keep track of where I left off.

thoughts?

Theater View shows a check mark next to those you've seen.

I take a approach similar to Moe's script, but do it via creating a custom view that shows only movies/shows never played (by by restricting files displayed to those that have a play value of empty). 

So for movies, I have a custom view Film that shows everything, watched or not, and another called Film+ that only displays unwatched movies only.  As soon as they are watched, they disappear from the Film+ custom view.

It's especially nice for TV shows where the same scenario above is employed, but of course goes a little deeper due to series/season/episode.  The outcome is still the same however, which is, for any series I dig down to the episode level, all that is shown are the ones yet to be watched.  And as soon as I watch it, it disappears from the TV+ custom view.  I've been doing this way for years and it works flawlessly and is invaluable for those times when a year passes between watching episodes for particular series.

In addition i have "watch log" views for various video types which shows every show / movie I have watched
