Watching

What counts as watched

A video is watched once playback reaches its duration minus the smaller of 10% and 60 seconds, so a 20-minute video is done with 60 seconds left and a 4-minute one with 24. With an unknown duration it is watched at the end. Resume is offered when the position is beyond 5 seconds and before that threshold. Watching a finished item again makes it in-progress from the new position and, on reaching the threshold, watched again. The web player saves position every 15 seconds and when you leave; the apps follow the same rules.

What is hidden, where

Page	Default	Reveal
Recent feed, search, tag pages	watched videos hidden	show watched adds them back
Channels and shows grid	fully watched channels and shows dropped; empty channels stay	show watched, with a “N watched hidden” count
Channel page	watched videos hidden	show watched
Show page	every episode listed, watched ones marked; the server names the next unwatched episode in order	always visible
Movies wall	watched movies hidden	show watched

A finished show leaves the grid until a new episode arrives, the same way a watched video leaves the feed. When everything is watched, the feed says so rather than showing an empty page.

Marking by hand

Every card has a watched toggle. Channel and show pages have mark all watched and its reverse. Movie walls have neither, by design: each film is marked from its own card.

Autoplay and up next

When a video ends, an up-next card counts down 8 seconds to the next item, with replay and cancel. The next item is the top of the related list: in a show, the next episode in order, stopping after the finale; in a channel, the closest match by tags topped up with recent unwatched videos. Movies never chain. After three unattended advances the player asks whether you are still watching. Autoplay and that count are per-person preferences, set in the apps’ Settings screens; the web player honours them but has no control of its own.

Browsing

• Grids sort by name, recently updated, or most unwatched, with genre chips from the shows’ .nfo files. Movie walls sort by title, year, or recently added, with genre chips. The sort and genre you choose are remembered per library, per person, on every device.
• Search (the header box) matches titles across everything you can see, minus hidden channels and, by default, watched items.
• Tags gather channel tags and categories plus movie genres. Show genres stay on the show.
• Libraries with show in Recent off remain fully present in search, tags and their own tab.
• Related shows eight items: the rest of a show in order; for movies, the same library ranked by shared genres, cast and collection then year; for channel videos, rare-tag overlap with the same channel down-weighted, watched ones excluded, topped up with recent unwatched.
