In the library mode you can filter “Unseen movies”. Would it be possible to filter “seen movies”?

Yup. You use the advanced filter and set unwatched to false.

You can create a smart collection from the above filter and call it “Watched Movies” to achieve this.

and it would be possible filtering in that smart collection by genre or year, for example (in the TV)?

Thanks

You could use the advanced filters to create a smart collection for watched movies, then visit the watched/seen movie collection when you’d like to reference it.

Sorry no. Collections don’t have filtering options in player apps.

You can’t customize it from the TV, but if you build the collection customized how you want first in the WebGUI and then access that collection from your TV it will be filtered\displayed as you defined it. You can even put that collection on a home row or just access it in your Collections tab.

So you can make a collection of watched action movies in release order or your watched movies in order of last watched or sci-fi movies watched over 5 years ago in alphabetical order. The Smart Collections are pretty flexible so you might just make a bunch of ‘em with those prebuilt filters. 🙂
