It appears if you watch a episode about 90% and press stop, it will mark this as watched and remove the resume by time.
is there anyway to increase this? 90% is just a bit to short, you can loose 3-5+ mins of a episode this way depending on the episode length
Using PHT and OpenPHT
thanks.
You can “loose” a lot more than that if what you are watching is a long TV show or movie.
This has been requested many many times but Plex does not see the need. Personally I would like the end to equal the end.
Some type of adjustment should be allowed preferably in the client (so it can be set independently) but a setting in the server would be OK. Even better would be a setting by user.
I would not recommend holding your breath waiting for the probably simple request as Plex does not believe in choice. What Plex believes is that their way is the only way and anyone wanting choice is just unworthy of having their request taken seriously.
Plex is rapidly becoming the poster child for “My way or the highway.”

I think if instead of percentage, I wonder ability to specify (0, 30s, 60s, 2m, 5m) would also make sense and be more predictable to every user?
FYI - I moved this to the Features Request Forum
the previous htpc software i was using had it as a percentage and it was perfect, it simply wasn’t as low as 90% by default, and you could change the number if you wanted.
percentage is fine in my opinion just let us choose what it is would be suitable.
I’m also having this trouble as I’m watching TV episodes that are 30 to 70 hours long. I cannot resume the playback in the last 3 to 7 hours.
I also would like to feature request so that we can either choose a percentage or specify the amount of remaining time.
+1 this is so annoying. Percentage doesn’t make sense at all, does a 3 hour movie have twice as many credits as a 1.5 hour movie? a 3 hour movie won’t have 18 minutes of credits…
Same goes for TV shows, infact TV Shows is where this bugs me the most, as i forget which episode i’m on, and plex just resets back to S1 E1, instead of going to the next episode. Ideally there should be a default setting for the server, or for the library type (movies, tv shows), and you should be able to set overrides for individual titles. That way if you are watching a show with longer/shorter credits you can adjust it so it doesn’t drive you up the wall, which is where i currently am.
+1 and voted. This is especially problematic for those of us struggling to use Plex for Audiobooks (there are more of us than you might think!). Even pretty short audiobooks are usually 5-6 hours long (not to mention the epics that are more in the 70-100 hour range).
I would love this to be configurable at a library level, but even just a server-wide toggle of end = end vs. end = 90% would work for me.

I’d really like to be able to adjust the percentage. I disagree with Elijah_Baley that “the end should equal the end” because I’d rather not have to sit through the credits of a movie. Allowing for a server adjustment or individual user adjustment by percentage would keep everyone happy. It amazes me that this is not already an option.
Follow-up, for anyone using the Tautulli plugin, Tautulli allows you to adjust the watched percentage on a per library basis. Default is 85% which I believe is the Plex default, but you can set it differently for TV, Movies, Music, etc.
Would love this to be a built in option that can be changed by library.
Where can I find this plugin? Is this the analytics tool of the same name?
Yeah, that’s the one. Just run it on your server.
Ah… so that is just for reporting something as watched and doesn’t change the players behavior for items like long audio book files.
Hey, does then mark it as watched in Plex?
If I just in Tautulli?
It doesn’t affect Plex unfortunately
There’s currently 2 “competing” suggestions on that very same topic (used to be even more…).
While this thread is a little older (2016 vs. 2018), the other one has some more votes (13 vs. 20). Unless there’s some super strong opposition I’d like to go forward to close this thread in favor of the newer one.
2022 clean-up: duplicate + implemented
