A report of "unwatched" content on multiple user server?

[baaahb 2]

Hey all,

I've looked around online and through this forum, but I haven't found a solution.  I would like to create a list/report/file/anything that shows the movies I have in my emby library that have never been watched.  I see that it can be done for a single user with a smart playlist plugin, but I would like a list of things that nobody has ever watched.

The server has been up for several years with the same library.  Not sure if it helps, but I've had the "playback reporting" plugin installed for about a year, so I have all that data.  I know you can make queries with it, but I'm not sure how I would query a negative.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.  I don't expect anyone to hold my hand.  I'd just like to know if this is even possible, or if I'm wasting my time trying.

 

Thank you!

@TeamB might have some querying tips for his plugin. Thanks.

unfortunately the simple answer is, you can not, not with the playback reporting plugin anyway.

the plugin only records playback activity so it has no knowledge of items that have never been played.

if you know a little coding, say python, you could use the latest backup file of the playback reporting plugin, then extract your movie list from emby, then join the two data sources to give you a list of unplayed items.
