Clearing out "Recently Added" TV shows - DXer - 2014-09-23

Is it possible to change what's displayed in "Recently added"? The only things I'd like to find in there are shows I've actually never watched. So if I download back episodes of a series that I've already seen (but wish to archive), I don't want those to show up once I've toggled them as 'watched' and they have the check-mark beside them. Is this somehow doable?

Currently no, but it is an often requested feature, so maybe in the future.

can't you just hide watched? or does the Recently Added window not allow that feature?

This was annoying me too, so I came up with two workarounds that might be of interest to you

1. Increase the number of items in the Recently Added Episodes list (advancedsettings.xml) so that newly scanned back episodes don't push newer ones off the list. Hide watched episodes while viewing.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <videolibrary>
        <recentlyaddeditems>500</recentlyaddeditems> <!-- number of recently added items. Defaults to 25 -->
    </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

2. Create a playlist that shows the last 500 episodes by airdate. Hide watched episodes while viewing.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>TV - Latest 500 Episodes by Airdate</name>
    <limit>500</limit>
    <order direction="descending">year</order>
</smartplaylist>
