Resume - partially watched title / Resume points timeout

I believe a nice added feature is to have the ability to timeout partially watched shows automatically.   Being able to set an expiration of resume point on titles.  My kids love to watch videos but never seem to finish then, so they have a ton of titles that have resume points.
 
What would be a nice addon would be the ability to either set the resume point to expire after X number of days.  By default the resume point will be kept indefinitely.  Adding in, let's say, "30" will then set all the resume points last set 30 days ago to expire and the resume point data be removed from the title for the user.  
 
This should be a global setting that applies to all users in the system.  Wording of the feature can be different.  :)

I think this is a great idea! +1

 

For now i you want to clear the playback status toggle the watched/unwatched flags once and they should be removed

I like this idea. I've always managed them manually. It'd be best if it doesn't modify the watched status and just removes the resume point. Meaning if the item was previously watched but in progress, leave it watched. If it was previously unwatched but in progress, leave it unwatched.

Personally, I think anything like this should be handled at the display layer instead of modifying the data.  The resume point should stay there because it is accurate and it should be available whenever (perhaps you have an item that you always watch from a specific point or something).

 

At the display (app or query) level, however, there could potentially be an option to limit the items shown in the "Continue Watching" section by some sort of time parameter.

In Plex, there is a setting that is equivalent to "Weeks to consider for Continue Watching".

This filters the items in Continue Watching by whether the most recent play date was within the specified time limit (e.g. previous 4 weeks).

This would be useful to avoid the Continue Watching bar being cluttered with partially watched items from a long time ago.

Please could you add this setting to Emby?

HI, yes given enough demand, more options are certainly possible for the future. Thanks for the feedback.
