Watched flag with external player

hagay_g · 2008-07-23, 13:58

Using Rc2 at the moment , not that i think its related.

Since i started using external player with media portal (Media player classic home cinema), Media portal stopped flagging the file i watching as watched, I know it cant really know wheter the file was watched nor save the last playback position, my problem is with the watched flag.

There is no "fast" way to mark it manually (there is a "fast" way to unmark watched file trough the F9 menu).
The only way i found is to use F3 on the file and there on side there is way to mark it as watched.

The F3 way is kinda annoying, espcially because of the IMDB lookup (is there way to disable this ?, its nice feature but i think the lookup should performed only when explicitly requested)

So my questions are :

Is there a fast way to mark files as watched manually ?
or is there a way to instruct media portal to mark files as watched when it launches the external player ?
is there a way to disable the imdb when pressing F3 or even at all ?

Thanks in advance
