Easy way to mark all items inside a library as "watched" ?

[dcook 299]

I upgraded my Emby server and moved to SSD drives, and now all my shows/movies are showing as unwatched.

 

Is there an easy way to mark everything inside a library as "watched" ?

 

Or is there a way to select more than one at a time and click the checkmark?

hi, yes just click the checkmark on a folder. you can also use the multi-select tool.

I don't get the hover-over menu with the checkmark on the library folder itself, I only get after I click on the library and then it lists all the items so for Movies for example there is over 1000 of them

 

No checkmark available:

 

 

 

I do have checkmark once inside the library:

 

 

I don't see any multi-select tool, where do I find that?

Yeah I spotted this last weekend when I had to do a fresh install. The newer library images are smaller than before and all I see is this,

 

 

I then enabled Folder View which does give much larger images with more space but the hover has obviously changed as it still shows what you see in the image above.

I don't get that hover over option on any my libraries.

 

I only see that option on the actual items inside the library, but not the library itself.

Mmm, that's strange. Either way it won't help anyway as the 3 dot menu does not have any 'Mark as played' option. Not sure why you don't have it at all though...

[dcook 299]

Really there should be a library setting to mark all as watched, I am sure I am not the 1st person to reinstall emby.

You have to use the multi-select option at library level.  (hold down left click on an item)

 

 

 

The check mark option was remove a long time ago at library level.

Nice one @@Happy2Play never thought of looking there. It may have been removed a while ago but I was running my original install from a couple years ago, never had to mark a whole library until last week 

[Luke 42078]

Well done.

[dcook 299]

Thanks Happy that was what I needed!

[Luke 42078]

Thanks for confirming.

Mark unplayed is not longer present in the dot menu ... @Luke

You can multiselect the contents (using shift-click to include the whole range) and then "Mark Read" is one of the options.

Note that recently someone reported that trying to select over (as I recall) 500 items selected less than expected, so if you have large libraries you may need to do them in sections.

Yes your current options are multi-select and slow scroll the entire library shift selecting in increments or using the API directly with that parentid.

Can you simply add a select all checkbox at the top? that would be much easier

I think the issue is "all" is never loaded or only could have an extreme delay every time one opens a large library as of now only 50 items are loaded when navigating to libraries.  So one would never know when select all was finished loading.

[dcook 299]

Well you could select all using the 3 dot menu before, so it was there and working, and now its missing

Do we know why its missing from the 3 dot menu now? 

Perhaps it should be in the Admin interface, under Library settings instead?
