So you actually want an option for Plex simply not to track the progress (except for a movie being watched or not)? There’s actually already an existing feature suggestion discussing such an option – basically considering a handling like it’s currently done for music/audio libraries.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes from each other (and closing this thread as a duplicate).
