mellomade 140 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi Guys, I have a request that I hope you might be able to indulge me with. I have this quirky problem I have discussed here a few times now - and I have found where my problem lies. I use an iOS remote control app called SimpleControl (formerly Roomie Remote) that updates its watched status for movies and tv shows using not only the playCount entry in the 'movie_view' and 'episode_view' tables in the Kodi database - but they also use the 'lastPlayed' entry and the resume status time as outlined here: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/25653-request-update-lastplayed-in-kodi-db/ Is there any way you could have these 2 view entries updated when the library is initially synced? Something like if playCount is >1 then add the current date/time to lastPlayed? I am not sure if the Emby server keeps track of play count or date/time of last play (I don't think it does). Or even something like when the 'W' key is pressed in Kodi (for manually marking watched/unwatched) - in addition to updating playCount the lastPlayed date is updated with the current date/time? Any time this lastPlayed entry for either 'movie_view' or 'episode_view' tables is NULL - SimpleControl always shows the status as 'unwatched'. It drives me nuts..... Anyways I know this is a long shot - but it would really help me and anyone else using this stupid remote control software........ Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Are you using plugin paths or direct paths? You can find out in the add-on settings > sync option. If you are using plugin paths, I know where the issue lies. It's not because we don't assign lastplayed, but rather because Kodi creates a conflicting entry in the database. Then the lastplayed is not applied to the correct entry anymore. I've been working on a solution but it requires time. It will get fix, hopefully in a decent amount of time. If you are using direct paths, then its a different story, and should work correctly...

mellomade 140 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for the quick response @@Angelblue05. I am using direct paths. If I start from scratch and sync the db - the playCount is updated to reflect the watched status Emby reports. But it leaves lastPlayed as NULL. If I watch a movie or episode in Kodi - Kodi updates that lastPlayed entry and all is good. The trouble is if I reset the db - lastPlayed goes back to NULL for all those movies I watched. Do you expect the lastPlayed entry to be updated when the initial scan is run when using direct paths? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yes it should be filled with lastPlayed at all times (unless the item is unwatched). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
