I’ve looked through the changelog and searched here on the forums and can’t find any mention of this–
I’m not sure when, but I noticed in plex web today that the ‘eye’ icon for watched status has been changed to a checkmark for ‘played’ status.
Is this a change coming to all players also? Is there any insight into why the change was made from watched to played?
It seems like a purely semantic argument, but I feel like watched is more unique than played, even if played might technically be a more accurate description (like, say, when you fall asleep with ‘autoplay’ turned on).
But with all the history of people describing it as ‘watched status’, played status just feels weird.
So weird. I distinctly remember the changelog thread I was looking at was 11 pages, but that one is 12.
Either I was looking at the wrong changelog, or I had some weird older cached version or something, because what I was looking at definitely didn’t contain the entry shown in your link.
Thanks for making me look dumb!
EDIT: So yeah, upon further investigation-- that change was made in Plex Web, so it makes sense to look at the plex web change log. I was looking at the Plex Media Server change log. It makes sense that there are seperate change logs for these two parts of Plex, but I didn’t realize there were two logs until now.
I assume that this change will indeed make it to all of the players eventually also? Have you heard any of the reasoning behind the change? I miss my eyeball button.

Good observation. It never occurred to me that music doesn’t have any kind of ‘played’ or ‘watched’ status. I wonder if people had requested that.
I also wonder if that means that music will eventually get ‘played’ statuses like podcasts and the rest have (although I don’t personally have any need for such a thing).
