Filter unwatched movies?

wicked453 · 2008-07-29, 18:25

Is there any way to make a new view filter to see the movies that is marked as not watched? I'm tryin' with the "watched" function in the config but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

Simply what I want to do is to be able to get a list of the movies I haven't seen yet, instead of just seein' them in a different colour in the movie list.

Thanks in advance!

In the MP configuration, go to views section. In the selection area you could add a selection for watched and have the operator = 0. It maybe suggested to add a new view instead of playing with an existing incase you break it some how.

Thanks! It worked great!

Except one thing; I can't see the coverart in the list in this view. In the regular view like title and genre I see the thumbnail picture on every movie, but in this there are no covers. When I go to IMDB on a movie I can see the cover but not in the list, why?

based on this thread, this looks like it may be the case for some reason.
Movie Database: How to use the watched flag

I think in that thread there was also a suggestion to add the a second line where thith the watched and then you can sort by that column (watched) asc/des. This will show all the movies but put the unwatched (watched =0) ones at the top or bottom of the list.
