Bug marking episodes as played

[jglazer63 17]

I had to reset part of my video library so a series that has 17 seasons had to be marked as played one season at a time.   That's easy enough.  THen I had to individually mark episodes in the last season as played.  The first 15 of them.

Try as I might I could not find a shortcut key to mark an episode as played in the list so I had to go into each episode to do this:

- Click Episode 1
- Click Played
- Click Back
- Scroll past episode 1 to 2
- Click Episode 2
- Click Played
- Click Back
- Scroll past episode 1
- Scroll past episode 2 to 3
- Click Episode 3
- Click Played
- Click Back
- Scroll past episode 1
- Scroll past episode 2
- Scroll past episode 3 to 4
- Click Episode 4
- Click Played
- Click Back
- Scroll past episode 1
- Scroll past episode 2
- Scroll past episode 3
- Scroll past episode 4 to 5
- Click Episode 5
- Click Played
- Click Back
..
..
..
- Scroll past episode 1
- Scroll past episode 2
- Scroll past episode 3
- Scroll past episode 4
- Scroll past episode 5
- Scroll past episode 6
- Scroll past episode 7
- Scroll past episode 8
- Scroll past episode 9
- Scroll past episode 10
- Scroll past episode 11
- Scroll past episode 12
- Scroll past episode 13 to 14
- Click Episode 14
- Click Played
- Click Back

This is a very painful process because:

1. there is no shortcut key to mark an episode as played
2. every time I hit back it shot me to the top of the list

This is in Emby Theater (windows) but operates essentially the same on my samsung TV.   Thankfully I had the windows version.  I cannot imagine the nightmare of trying to do all that with a remote control.

I love Emby but there's a lot missing in the interface.

Hi, Would it not have been easier to mark the whole series as played, then highlight all episodes you wanted to unwatch, select 3 dot menu and unwatch them?

I am guessing but TV mode does not have multi-select.  But actions like this make more since from a computer then a TV to me.

But that option does not appear in Display mode: TV.

Also ET store app doesn't have that layout.

I was thinking more about resetting this from the web console the quickest way.

Tv mode doesn't have that but still why not just do it from the series screen

All the suggestions may help a bit.  I would like to just see the list of episodes and then do:

"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
"W" (watched)
down
etc....

The few other media players that I tried like Kodi have this.  Seems like a pretty basic thing.

We have lots of ways in the interface that you can mark items as played.
