Hi Guys.

Lately,KODI hasnt been marking movies as watched nor marking them as In Progress.

I noticed this started when i started using an external player to watch movies with due to installing a cinemascope screen and updating to 14.2.

It all worked fine before hand.

Here is the the Player Core Factory.

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
<playcountminimumtime>600</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule video="true" player="MPC-HC">
<rule internetstream="true" player="DVDPlayer" />
<rule name="Streaming" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms" player="DVDPlayer" />
</rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

and my Advance Settings.


<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>xxx.xxx.x.x</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>

<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>52428800</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>2.0</readbufferfactor>
</network>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
<ignoreerrors>true</ignoreerrors>
<importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
<importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>
</videolibrary>
<video>
<playcountminimumpercent>85</playcountminimumpercent>
<ignoresecondsatstart>180</ignoresecondsatstart>
<ignorepercentatend>15</ignorepercentatend>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

Do these look right?

Will a Log File help?

Thanks.

I'm a bit surprised with this statement "It all worked fine before hand." when you're talking about an external viewer... not unusual that resume wouldn't work within Kodi using an external player, you have to set up the external player with some sort of script to notify Kodi of the last position etc. (not easily done) and ditto for the watched list, although that's probably why you can select/deselect watched manually.

What's your reasoning for using an external player in the first place? Perhaps you need to have a look at the reworked Kodi and it's video section tweaks?

Hey. Thanks for your reply.

What meant by all working earlier is that before using the external player the resume and watched status worked. I got the playercorefactory from this forum and was hoping watched and resume worked with it as its included in the code and description of the xml file.

I changed to an external player because I have a CinemaScope screen and MPCHC can be set to 2.35:1 aspect ratio which fills the screen. I couldn't find a similar option in Kodi. I'd use it if it was available as I prefer using Kodi rather than MPCHC.

Thanks.

Have you tried changing the video settings, (not sure if this works as I don't have a CS screen)

Play a file press "M" and go to the video settings and change the ratio (YMMV), zoom and or view mode.
