Little feature request, when viewing a file, that contains multiple episodes, when viewing, it marks both files as watched. For example, ‘Burn Notice S06E11-E12.mp4’ shows in Plex as Burn Notice Season 6 Episode 11 and another entry as Burn Notice Season 6 Episode 12 as it should. However, aft…

giving this request a little push, so it won’t be forgotten :slight_smile:

Push :stuck_out_tongue: would be a time saver this.

Also important for syncing - If I have my sync set up to only sync unwatched content it will sync the same file twice if I don’t manually mark one of the two episodes as watched.

Started searching today for how to get this working in Plex - looks like it is a feature that is still missing? Would love for it to be added!

@bryancain I’ve had this happen recently. That’s a very good point.
