Video un-marking themselves as watched

[jack1574 2]

HI, everyone, this is my first post on these forums so please be gentle!

 

I have been using emby/media server for a long time now and have had very issues. my setup is a windows home server pc running embey server with a couple of clients running media browser classic and kodi.

 

anyway long story short, for the last week tv shows and movie have been randomly marking themses as un watched. it is most bizzare it will be half a series not or most bar 2 episodes. 

 

I have gone through and marked everything that should be watched. loggedin out, checked with different clients all is ok, then next morning log in and it is all a mess again.

 

I have tried deletlig th database and starting gain but that has not helped. the only thing i have not done is a full re install.

 

anyone else having this issue?

Are you using "Sync user watch data to nfo's"?  Metadata-nfo 

 

If so try disabling this feature.

Hi Happy2Play,

 

that has certainly helped. I currently have 120 TV series in my collection and this morning when I logged in there were three tv series that had previously been marked as watched with one and two episodes now marked as un-watched (total of 4)  on other morning there would be 35 series with much more episodes being marked as un-watched. 

 

Took a little while to find the setting, (googling didnt help!) if anyone else is wondering, go to the emby dashboard,  go to metadata, then under the heading Nfo under the heading "Sync user watch data to nfo's for:"  use the drop down dialogue box and set it to blank.  I would suggest instead of blank if it read none that would be more intuitive.

 

So I have not played with this setting for months, so what has changed? my version is 3.0.5641.4

 

Cheers

 

Jack.

Maybe you started using an app like Kodi that writes data back to these nfo files?
