Thanks.
Hopefully they fix there mistake when i was greated to plex without a remaining watch count i about lost it.
I could care less about the watched checkbox the count is more important.
I hate having to turn off automatic updates because of there poor choices.
i noticed today that on my firecube, thereâs now once more an indication of how many unwatched episodes per show, but itâs done in a new way.
thereâs now two lines of text below each show poster⊠one indicating how long ago plex added the show to its database (which is useless information to me that wastes space and i wish i could make go away) and a second text line saying how many eps are unwatched. so the crucial information is back, but presented in a worse way than in the past.
itâs better than nothing, so iâll take it. if the useless line about how long ago the show was added to the database could go away (it should only appear if i have things sorted by âdate addedâ imo) then things would be almost as good as they used to be, but not quite (for my tastes)
This is really inconvenient for my use case. Iâm working my way through a playlist of almost 400 movies and relied on the orange unwatched dots to help me quickly scroll to the next movie on deck in the playlist. Now thereâs no playlist-level watched/unwatched info at all.
I find it interesting that nobody was complaining about this until they âimprovedâ it. Like, literally nobody was asking for a change.
Conser also that the orange unwatched triangle could be invisible for content posters with a lot of orange. The checkmark is more effective, even on posters that are black.
Thatâs a minor issue with the graphic design, not the logic of unwatched vs watched indicators. Iâm open to tweaking the graphic of the orange unwatched indicator, but please just bring back an unwatched indicator in some way. Make it a rainbow unicorn for all I care.
It was a waste of developer resources to make the change to begin with. Since theyâre clearly comfortable wasting developer time, they can give us the option.
Two years ago would you have wanted them to âtie up developer resourcesâ changing the unwatched flags to watched flags? Sounds like yes since that is clearly your preference which you are defending rather vigorously. You just happened to come out ahead in this case.
For some of us, this is a more impactful change than any bugs that need to be fixed, so yes, I want them to âtie up developer resourcesâ to give us an option.
Another first time forum poster here to express my dislike for the new change. Episode counts disappeared from my library. On Shield Pro. Watched indicators do nothing. Restarts/reboots etc did nothing. If itâs a bug on android, for the love of God please fix and push it to stable. Donât want to have to install beta software for this poor decision on Plexsâ part. Working through a backlog of 400+ episodes after a 6 month hiatus and this was jarring.
Going to come back to this again with some additional feedback 
Iâll stick with the Bridgerton examples Iâd used above.
Iâm using the web client with watch indicators set to none. So, if I go to the top level library view, filtered on unwatched and I see this âŠ
⊠which lists the total episodes for the show (24) and total unwatched (10). Then at the show level I see this âŠ
⊠which list the total episodes only. I know you have said its expected that there is no icon count on the poster but do you think the unwatched total will be displayed under each of the unwatched seasons, similar to the show level ?
Again, trying to be constructive but the design is inconsistent and not at all user friendly.
As there seem to be very few comments supporting the new paradigm for showing what has been watched versus unwatched, Iâll leave a quick comment here in support of it.
I like very much the recently-made changes:
For my personal libraries this results in far less clutter and cleaner looking posters on the whole. I was also never a fan of the orange unwatched wedge which, frankly, I found to be quite ugly when shown in the corner of many posters.
Iâm not in any way suggesting that users who donât like the new model should be ignored. By all means, give them an option to revert to the old design. However, the new design more closely reflects how I like to view my libraries and Iâd be very disappointed if it were wholesale reverted.
Iâm totally unlucky with this change, too.
Iâd like to see on the âShowsâ overview page how many episodes of a show are still unwatched. As it was for years!
You might add an option âUnwatched counterâ with the choices âon Shows overview pageâ, âon a shows detail pageâ, âshow on bothâ & âneverâ.
And I prefer an âunwatched indicatorâ over a âwatched indicatorâ for the same reaons many user already have given!
Perhaps pimp the âWatched Indicatorsâ with an additional choice of âshow watched as indicatorâ and âshow unwatched as indicatorâ
Iâm using plex on Fire TV 4k Max stick, new generation, in app version 10.17.0.868.
What client device are you using? Thereâs a bug in Android TV/Fire TV clients which prevents this from showing; however, itâs been corrected in the beta releases for both (10.18.x). If youâre on Android TV/Fire TV youâll either need to install the beta or wait for the fix to be implemented in a GA release.
[Edit]
This of course assumes you have watched indicators enabled in your account profile.
Please bring back the total unwashed count for the series. I rely on that to keep track of when a new episode on a series that I follow has been added. This new change has broken my ability to follow my workflow. You added an option great but you took away a feature. Not great
For pityâs sake. It has been mentioned multiple times in this very thread that the missing unwatched count is an Android TV/Fire TV specific bug which has already been fixed in the beta release.
Itâs extremely unfortunate that this bug was introduced on what appears to be the most popular client platform for Plex viewing; or, at least, whose users are the most vocal.
The bug has been identified and fixed. Install the beta or wait for the GA release. But either way, please stop posting the same comments over and over and over and overâŠ
That still doesnât bring it back like it was a week ago.
it âfixesâ it. the icon is still the same color (so itâs difficult to quickly glance at something to know itâs status) any the text and checkmark are the same white on black transparent background itâs very visually unintuitive.
Even if Plex did a public release right now it would still take like 2-3 weeks for 10.18 to appear on FireOS devices automatically. Amazonâs approval process is stupid slow. I just sideload any release I want.
I never suggested it would. My post was pretty clear, I think. The bug which caused missing unwatched counts on Android/Fire OS devices has been fixed in beta. Please donât read more into my comments than is actually stated.
I personally believe that had this bug not been introduced, the outrage over this change would have been far less. As it happened however, many folks feel this was intentional and are upset with a change which was never intended (the removal of unplayed counts from shows and seasons). Every other client Iâve tested still has them and the Android beta restores them.
i donât know about âfarâ less. lots of people here like myself mostly want the single item unwatched flags back.
Iâm actually okay with this black checkmark for watched items. The main reason I was in support of the orange triangle was the green check circles clashed with the overall color scheme of the interface (which is largely black and orange).
I would like the change to be consistent over the entire interface, though. Not orange unwatched triangles and episode counts on the Home page, and black ones on a library view, and changing when you go to actor pages, etc.
