[QUOTE="Andy22, post: 794950, member: 115420"] Hi, i would like to request a timer based "watched" recognition for external players. I'm using mpc-hc as external player and as soon as i close the player MP will flag the file watched, even if i just had mpc open for a second. Thats kinda annoying since i normally use a view layout that wont show "watched" content, but this forces me to always show also "watched" content, so i can flag it "unwatched" again after such wrong flagging. A simple and better way would be to time how long the external process was open and compare the time vs the selected % watched config time. I'm aware that u wont correctly get paused external files, but this method is still better than just detecting open/close of the external player. thx Andy PS: The reason i don't fully watch the file via external player is simple, often i just watch some minutes to get a idea if it is interesting or i just have to leave and want to continue later.
