So I’ve noticed if you mark something you’ve watched as unwatched it completely removes past history of it ever being watched previously. For those of us that would like a full accounting history is there a way to rewatch something, mark it as unplayed essentially but without the historical data disappearing?
I don’t care if current watch states actually go away, I would just like the watch history per user to show that for instance it was watched back in 2016 and again whenever they watched it again as opposed to the older entry just disappearing.
On the one hand, I think this is exactly the expected behaviour. You want to mark it as unwatched and so everything regarding previous “watched” info is cleared too. On the other hand, I totally get where you’re coming from and it absolutely could be implemented in a better way. Maybe with a confirmation message along the lines of “Do you wish to also reset all previously watched info?”
The problem is when changing watched status it deletes the history from metadata_item_views which is used in the dashboard and nothing else. CW, recommended views, up next etc… use other table and database entries.
