    Im not sure how to help with your issue, but in future you may want to try install trakt. This can sync your watched flags to trakt.tv so you will never loose them again.

    This will only be good for real movies in My Videos, doesnt apply to home videos or stuff like that.

    The hardcoded value that determines after which watched% the "watched" flag is displayed was change in 1.2.0.
    In 1.2.0 you have to watch more than 80% of the video, while previously it was flagged as "watched" after simply starting the playback.

    This value will become fully configurable in 1.3.0 among other enhancements to the "watched" feature. :)

    Meaning that my watch status are all gone? That has not been the case in earlier updates.
    That is the single most important ting in my Mediaportal :(
    Is there any possibility to get them back? I've not reinstalled, just updated.

    I understand that there are new criteria in 1.2, but did it have to "unwatch" all my movies who most of them where over 80% watched?
    Is it possible with any rollback or is it just lost?

    As far as I know the changes introduced in 1.2.0, your videos are not unwatched. only thosewatched less that 80% do appear so.

    This is what I see on my systems here as well.

    Just to calm you down, your old watch status was not altered in any way in the database. Old watched status was based on

    1. stop and resume data for videos not in the database (not scanned by IMDB command)

    and

    2. watched flag for videos in the database (scanned by IMDB command).

    Case 1 during upgrade was not set as watched because those two values are constantly changed whenever video is played and for old MP it was just enough to play for 1 sec, now stop time must be =>80% of total duration of video to be marked and showed as watched so if all those values are below 80% they will be visible as unwatched until played >=80% or to the end.

    Case 2 should be visible as watched if they are been like that before upgrade because flag watched in movie info (metadata for movies) for those videos prevail stop time and it can't be changed unless user manually do that in movie info screen.

    If is your case 2 (you are using MP videodatabase for movies) and your old movies was being watched then I need to see why and I can help you only if you can post your videodatabase (if you don't want to post it here you can send me a dropbox link for that file).

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I have also had this problem in the past. There are two components to this problem: Your internet router is pinging the HTPC at regular intervals in order to see if the HTPC is still present on the network. The network adapter in the HTPC has "Wake on Lan" enabled. So at the end of a recording, the HTPC transitions from away mode to...
