I finally updated the official version to 1.0.4. Please notify, if this still occurs with this version.

Hi,

OpenELEC arrived at the Isengard-Era. I would like to update :-)

Is WatchedList running fine on Kodi 15.2?

Works for me.

Hello,

I've added support to sync your sqlite files to dropbox automatically. I've tested on windows 10, ubuntu 15.10 and openelec 6. You can configure your dropbox account from the addon configuration. Go to the database settings and click "Dropbox Auth Code". Follow the steps and your db should automatically upload to the apps/kodiwatchedlist folder on your dropbox account.

There is a problem on Ubuntu 15.10 with they python-cryptography package. If you run into you have to remove the package with apt-get and install 'cryptography' with pip. Something like:

Code:
sudo apt-get remove python-cryptography
sudo pip install cryptography

Anyway, if anyone wants to help me test, my version of the addon is available from github here. Before installing, you will have to remove your existing watchedlist addon.

I have been using Kodi for a while now stable version 15.2 build from the Google PlayStore and have watched via streaming (not stored locally) a number of TV shows and movies which are all showing correctly as 'watched'.
I wish to use a build wizard and was looking for a straight forward once (hopefully) only way of copying the file/s that store the watched status before running the build wizard and then re-installing the copied file/s to restore my watched flags.
I have not found details of which file/s the watched indicators are stored in so have not found my easy copy, run wizard and re-install file/s option.
In my search I came across WatchedList, which I have installed and it runs automatically 5 minutes after I start up Kodi 15.2.
I see WatchList start and update messages displayed at the top of my screen, but for all items the reported number of saves is 0?
What am I missing?
Am I going down a false road, my thoughts were that I would create an external to Kodi copy of my watched TV/Movie watched indicators using WatchedList, run the Build Wizard, install/then use WatchList to re-install my TV/Movie watched indicators but cannot see an option to import the copy created by WatchList??

The watched flag is stored inside the Kodi video database, which is e.g. ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/MyVideos90.db. So maybe restoring the database file already works for you.

Is only the number of videos newly marked as watched zero or also the total number of videos in the WatchedList?
Both values should be displayed if you enable the debugging mode (see here for settings).

Your described workflow is correct.
The addon saves the watched indicators in a database file, usuallly ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.watchedlist/watchedlist.db.
You have to make sure that this file still exists after the re-installation of Android/Kodi (I don't have that system myself so I don't know the steps and am not sure what the build-wizard is).
Alternatively, you can set the WatchedList database to be on a network share or on a remote mySQL server. Then the data is not altered by a re-installation.

I'm getting notices in PhpMyAdmin that I need to add indexes, but I'm not too proficient with SQL. What columns would be best to index in which tables? I mainly watch TV shows and I have a very large database (7500 shows), while looking at the WatchedList database, the Episode_Watched table has 4227 rows, so I'm assuming this would be the best table to index, but I'm not sure which columns would be the best. My database is running off of my FreeNAS box (Intel 8 core Atom @ 2.4 GHz, 32 GB RAM, Samsung 850 Evo SSD) and when I run the plugin on my Nvidia Shield TV or my Windows 8 PC, it runs through the whole scanning process pretty quickly (30-60 seconds), but PhpMyAdmin makes me believe it could be faster.

These are the notices I'm getting:
  • There are too many joins without indexes. This means that joins are doing full table scans. Adding indexes for the columns being used in the join conditions will greatly speed up table joins
  • The rate of reading data from a fixed position is high. This indicates that many queries need to sort results and/or do a full table scan, including join queries that do not use indexes. Add indexes where applicable.
  • The rate of reading the next table row is high. This indicates that many queries are doing full table scans. Add indexes where applicable.

Here's my query list after 12 days usage

From my understanding of mySQL, the index should be the column that is preferably unique and is used in WHERE clauses often.
So the best indexes for the WatchedList tables would be the columns already marked as primary:

Code:
ALTER TABLE `tvshows` ADD INDEX(`idShow`);
ALTER TABLE `episode_watched` ADD INDEX( `idShow`, `season`, `episode`);
ALTER TABLE `movie_watched` ADD INDEX(`idMovieImdb`);

  • The rate of reading the next table row is high. This indicates that many queries are doing full table scans. Add indexes where applicable.

From the design of the addon, the full tables for movies, tvshows and episodes have to be read at startup to be compared against the tables from Kodi.
The only thing that should be improved by the indexes is the updating of the watched state and the synchronization of the tv shows list:

Code:
UPDATE movie_watched SET ... WHERE idMovieImdb LIKE ...
UPDATE episode_watched SET ... WHERE idShow LIKE %s AND season LIKE %s AND episode LIKE %s
INSERT IGNORE INTO tvshows (idShow,title) VALUES (%s, %s)

I tested using the addon with my configuration (58 tv shows, 3684 episodes, 799 movies) and it took 7 seconds with and without indexes (only reading, no updating).
Do you get improvements when you apply the table alterations above?

Is your Kodi video library also on this mySQL server and included in these stats? I have the impression that reading the Kodi database through the JSON interface takes most of the time when running my addon.

Thanks, is the second quote something I should be entering in? I won't be able to test the results of the first set of statements for another few days. As for my libraries, they're local to each box since one is Windows 8.1 whereas the other is Android 5.1, I used to have a centralized database, but as you stated, it's kind of slow.

When you open the WatchedList database in phpmyadmin, you can enter the SQL queries from the first code block (ALTER TABLE ...) in a text input box.
The second code block (UPDATE ...) is just for showing how the source code of the add-on looks like.

Hi @schapplm

I'm trying to use WatchedList to sync the watched state of two Kodi installs, which looks perfectly viable based on comments throughout this thread.
The main system is Windows 8.1/Kodi 15.2, and the secondary system (not used often) is OpenElec 5.0.8/Kodi 14.2.
The WL database is located on a MySQL system, but Kodi databases are local to each install.

On the main (Windows) system, WL does not appear to update the database on the set schedule, despite being set to autorun/periodic/3 hourly.
The database is updated correctly if I manually launch the add-on, and then the OpenElec system correctly applies the changes at some time later (also periodic/3hr). However the Windows box never seems to update the WL database automatically, even if left for days.
Follow-user is set to 'on', and a 5-min wait set for start-up delay, on both systems.

Can you please tell me if these settings /should/ be working as a way to keep the databases synced (with the obvious 3-hour potential delay)?
Or advise an alternate set of settings that I can try? A delay in sync is fine, especially as the OpenElec system is a low-spec CPU and and cannot crunch the databases quickly.

Thanks for any help..
J

@Brando I have the same setup, and same (similar) NAS showing the same recommendations. Did you apply the indexes from the OP, and did they make any difference?
