Now for the embarrassing part - I'm always falling asleep watching something - then have a complete mind blank what i was watching the next day until the next episode is out and i realise im missing something.

 

Would it be possible to add a 'recently watched' section where you can see all items you've recently viewed in order? Probably more applicable to TV I guess,

You don't mean mixed in with the suggestions, right?  And, specifically, where - on what screen?

 

Thanks.

where would you want it?

probably not taking up precious screen real estate on home page. its useful but not needed 'every day'

 

would suggest 'recently wateched' tv is a specific tile area/sub section under tv likewise for other media types.

 

of course music section already has a 'recently played' sub section.

 

primary view of 'recent' should not be aggregated, ie simply episodes, movies, tracks,

 

dont know if photos, games would benefit..but why not?

I'm upvoting this request: I'd like a Recently Watched feature. It would be a front page option like Resume Watching or Latest Movies, and could list the last movie watched or maybe the last five watched. My goal is specifically because I watch Extras or Commentary, or want to rewatch specific scenes shortly after watching a movie. This would be, for me, akin to "Resume Watching", except it's resume watching the entirety of that movie entry, rather than pick up partway through the particular video file.

 

Having a Recently Watched would let me jump back into its library entry and watch more extras or start it again with Commentary or Extended Edition turned on.

We need "Smart Playlists"!  :) 

I think "Smart Playlists" and the option to select them for "Sections" would alleviate lot of these requests, including this one.

It's something that is on their radar, and hopefully now that huge update (Emby Server 4.0) is released, this will free up some time for things like this to be worked on.

 

In the meantime, you could always "Like" or support the request for "Smart Playlists" here:

+1, think this should be treated similar to Recently Added, so optional for the user to have on their home screen, not sure about where to put within the library itself as different devices have different layouts

If you (from first page) go in to lets say (my folder called) Movies.

Then on top you have

 

Movies - Suggestions - Trailers - Favorites - Collections - Genres

 

There you could place it:

Movies - Suggestions - Recently Watched - Trailers - Favorites - Collections - Genres

I agree, happens to me too.

 

As a server owner I wouldn't mind just being able to view the history on the dashboard, but I guess other users would like access too...

 

I guess you could make the user icon clickable and then have a history button in there that shows recently watched?

If you want this in the library view, just go to all movies and sort by date played descending.

This would be good for the web app, but for example on Roku this is completely different and I don't know where it could go there :S

This would seem like the best option imo :) so every user can go to account and check their latest viewed/listened/played items.

if you use KODI and the KODI sync add-on with the embuary skin then there is a recently watched I believe and recently watched also shows up in Yatse, the remote app for KODI which I typically use to control KODI. I agree this would be a nice feature to have native but it does exist in some form depending on the client you use, just FYI!

This method is very useful (works on the episodes screen too) - but a button in a user profile would also be very helpful to quickly access your history

I would like to put in a request for this feature as well.

 

I think having it on the home screen where it can be enabled or disabled just like the Active Recordings, Latest media, Next up etc.... would be a perfect place.

 

As a parent of toddlers we find that we end up playing the same video over and over and over and over again.

 

Like some one mentioned if you fall asleep or the kids watch a video to the end it will not appear in the continue watching section and you have to do a search all over again. 

 

This isn't too bad for small libraries, but annoying on bigger libraries.

 

Someone mentioned sorting based on play date .... that works in the browser but not for Roku devices.

 

Def another thumbs up for this feature.

Bottom of the home page could make sense as well.

Though I would personally like it more hidden.

Being able to adjust where it pops up on the home display is fine too.

 

Won't bother me at the bottom, though it's easy to get to when wanting to check something.

+1 for recently watched, but the home screen is starting to get kind of cluttered. Not sure if this is a separate feature request or not, but at some point we'll need to be able to pick and choose what specific sections to show for each media type like Plex does.

Hi.  You can already choose what sections show on your home screen...

Kind of, but it's not very precise. See attached of how Plex does it (+ next to category to add, Home image next to category already added). Since there are multiple categories that can be added for each media type, they allow specifying which categories are desired for each media type rather than ALL categories. Right now Emby really only has "latest" and "continue watching" as categories, so it's not that big a deal, but could still use a few more options.

would love a recently watched tab added to the top nav bar on the home screen or maybe even just an icon in the sidebar under collections
