Resetting watched status for Guest Suite user account

[smokey7722 15]

I have a guest suite in my house that when using the TV launches Emby to a user dedicated to that room and specific device.  Is there a way to reset the viewing status for a user?  I'd like to reset it once a guest leaves so that the next guest doesn't have content hidden due to the user account having it marked as seen already.  I'd like to avoid having to delete the user account and recreating it each time if I could though as that would more work than I would like to deal with each time.  I've got three rooms setup like this in my house and would really like to figure out a way to clear the status without recreating the account.

hi, no, we don't have a way to reset all watch status. easiest thing right now i suppose would be to just create a new user.

Yea thats what I've been doing but it ends up taking about 10-15 minutes each time to recreate the users for the three rooms each time I have visitors (which is often as I live in Las Vegas) so I was hoping there may be an easier way that exists, or maybe something that could be considered as a feature.

Well you could login as that guest and hold left or right button on mouse until multi-select option opens then select each library, then then three dot menu top right and mark unplayed.

I haven't tried that - I will test that out today.  Its generally two libraries only (TV and Movies) so this could be a quick option that could do the trick.  I'll report back once I have tested.

 

Thanks
