In the following folder:
~/.kodi/userdata
Add the following block to advancedsettings.xml
<advancedsettings> <video> <
playcountminimumpercent>99</playcountminimumpercent>
<ignoresecondsatstart>10</ignoresecondsatstart>
<ignorepercentatend>1</ignorepercentatend>
</video>
</advancedsettings>
If the file advancedsettings.xml does not exist, create it.
| advancedsettings.xml tag | what it does |
|---|---|
| playcountminimumpercent | How much must be viewed to be marked as watched Since a lot of people don't watch credits at the end of a movie or TV show, this value allows us to skip those parts while still automatically marking something as watched. This setting is defined in a percentage with the default being 90 percent. |
| ignoresecondsatstart | Time to ignore at the start of a video before making a resume point This setting allows someone to start a video, only watch a couple of minutes, and then stop it without recording a resume point. This allows someone to do things such as check to see if the video is one they've seen or not, or to not mark a video if all you have seen is just the opening credits, etc. This setting is defined in seconds with the default being 180 seconds. For whole minutes simply multiply by 60. |
| ignorepercentatend | Percent at the end of a video to ignore to prevent making a resume point This setting prevents a resume point from being recorded if it is within a certain percentage at the end of the video. The logic here is similar to <playcountminimumpercent>, where most people will probably want to skip end credits and not have a resume point made, as they are done watching the video. The setting is defined in a percentage in relation to the end of the video, and the default is 8 percent. For an hour movie this would ignore a little under 5 minutes from the end of the video. Note that setting it to 0 will always create a resume point even when the video is completely finished. |
