Emby marked an unwatched show as watched

[mobamoba 12]

I originally posted this over in the Emby Kodi Beta thread as I thought it might be related to using that, but they said it looked like a server issue and I should post here.

 

Basically, I recorded a video and added it to Emby and, upon watching, noticed it had glitched (it had only recorded around 3 minutes of a 60 minute show). So I re-recorded and added it to the library at which point Emby immediately marked it as watched presumably because both the file creation dates and the dates the two files were scanned into the library were the same.

 

So I was wondering: is there any way to make library additions more granular  in order to avoid this problem in the future? For example, if Emby looked for creation time as well as creation date (or time added to library as well as date added to library), it would have known immediately these were two different files as the times were different even though the dates and titles were the same and would have left the second video marked as unwatched.

 

Thanks.

it does not do that. if you replaced it with the exact same file name, then it is the same library item, just a newer version of the media file. even if it's a different file name, if it is using the same nfo metadata file then it could be reading the watched state stored within.
