When selecting multiple movies or shows in library, there is a bar that appears on top .
This bar lets you select play, bookmark, mark as watched, add to , edit and more.
But there is no selection to mark was unwatched.
The problem without this is each one has to be selected individually and marked as unwatched.
Sometimes you just want to check if you seen a show or movie before or go back and look at certain scenes.
I think adding this feature of mark as unwatched would be very helpful.

If the selection you have made has differing “watched” states, you may need to first mark them as “watched” together, before you are able to set them all to “unwatched”.

That worked, but seemed a little of an odd way to do it.
And there is a chance to lose what ones you marked.
