I come back to my original point. How do you handle multiple users when extracting or using nfo for play count

These must be kept separate (thus the reason for moving the playcount info into the files table).
The only case that one can make an argument for is if no playcount exists (or, similarly, if db playcount < nfo playcount).

you can share the db, in that case you have a common watched status.
or each profile can have a separate db. then everything is separate. BUT, as xexe points out, if we import watched status from the .nfo's, all profiles will import it.
spiff Wrote:yeah, i think adding it back optionally makes sense. but that means logic in stuff like mc to not store the tag unless the user explicitly asks for it. and i think an xbmc export should never store it
