Michael K. 24 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I've created a new library and by default the movies are 'unwatched'. I would like to mark all of them as 'watched'. There are several hundred movies, so I would like to know the most efficient way to do this. Is there a way to 'select all'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Only by hacking the librarybrowser.js and adding the "| item.Type == 'CollectionFolder' |" (was line 3141 for me) back in to show "Played" indicator at folder level, restart server after making the change.

Luke 37062 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would use the multi-select tool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrommy 2 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would use the multi-select tool. Great to see it's been implemented! Last time I was using multi-select tool i'm pretty sure there wasn't an option to set them as watched, so the change mustve been very recently...or I'm just blind.

Michael K. 24 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would use the multi-select tool. The multi-select is a great improvement; however with regards to this particular thread issue, I would need to select hundreds of movies/shows across multiple pages, so it would still be cumbersome for processing newly created libraries. If I had to do this only once when the library is first created, I think the multi-select would would a fine solution, however a library might need to be deleted and recreated more than once. For example, an update to metadata was recently implemented, for which I had to deleted and recreate the library to see the changes. Some other examples are when you need to migrate data storage, and add new media in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the way I mentioned works but you can do the exact same thing with the Multi-Select option also. Example On Home Screen Left click and hold on the Library you want to mark as Played (Library becomes checked) - Select three dots menu (top right) - Mark Played Or check all libraries then mark as played.

Thank you @@Happy2Play and @@Luke. This is exactly what I was looking for. The multi-select tool worked perfectly, marking all videos in the library as watched. I didn't think to use it on the folder level. I changed the best answer to your post @@Happy2Play because it included the instructions. Thanks again.
