Remove Watched Videos from Recently Added/Released?

Dev Community Apps & Creations

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the "watched" movies from the On Deck screen under the Recently Added/Recently Released?

 

I've probably just overlooked a setting somewhere. Any guidance would be appreciated. Maybe there is a different screen I should be looking at (and don't point me to the unwatched tab)?

 

The alternative method is for me to manually move the Movies to a different directory that PMS doesn't have visibility to (or just delete them when I'm done).

 

Thanks.

Either they are "recently added" or not. It's a PMS thing to figure that out.

You could edit the OnDeck template to completely eliminate the appearance of the "recently added" row, I guess.

Edit:

Hm. Thinking about that, it might be possible to not copy the movie, if it has an unwatched flag set already... doing some magic with

MovieSection.xml, line 59:

    {{COPY(@RecentlyAdded/Video)}}

You got to check the PMS delivered XML, probably something along the lines of

    {{COPY(@RecentlyAdded/Video:@RecentlyAdded/watched:0=COPY|1=)}}

Someone needs to verify that... don't just throw it in there, it really is only a quick idea. Nothing tested...

I know the request is a bit odd but that was the use case when I had XBMC and it worked quite well. I would go to Movies, Recently Added, but hide watched. This makes the queue of movies that are waiting to be watched more manageable and I get the latest movies first.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just sort the Unwatched list by date added, descending?

Yes, how do I do that?

Edit: I was able to do this easily on the PlexWeb interface but I'm not sure it will work on PlexConnect. On PlexWeb, I selected All Movies, sorted by date added and then used a filter for unwatched.

I'm assuming it'd be a simple change to a sorting key in one of the PlexConnect XML templates, but I have no idea which one generates the Unwatched view. Maybe someone else does?

...we don't do sorting. Everything is displayed like preprocessed by PMS.

Ahhh, okay.
