Why does newly uploaded movies mark as played

[Omahabrownie 9]

Okay, it will take me awhile but I will go thru and delete the bad NFO files. I will stop MCM from doing the NFO and I have installed the xml addon in emby.

Thanks I will give it a try.

I thought I would let you know, I deleted all the NFO files from my collection. I found that I still had to go into Emby's metadata editor and delete the -2 that was in the external ID's within the Emby program. I assume this was from the NFO file and after removing the -2's it would mark as not played.

Thanks for the Help.

Deleting nfo files does not clear the information already in the database.  Only way to clear the database is to remove the media from your library and do a library scan.  Then you would ensure media contained no nfo files then re-add.  Without removing/moving the media you would have to manually edit each item.
