I would like to see the feature whereby you can mark a film/show watched/unwatched simply by pressing a button on my TV remote control (e.g. one of the coloured Red, Green, Yellow or Blue) instead of having to go into the file, wait for it to load and then scroll down.

PLEASE CLICK ‘LIKE’ TO VOTE B)

Please note that I am specifically differentiating this from the keyboard shortcut on the desktop application, although as that goes, it would be good to have the option (by form of a check box for example) to not have the confirmation pop-up box every time you want to mark something as watched.
