I remember there was an issue with the way they recent items were extracted from the db to easily add this, don't remember entirely but it never made it into Confluence even though many people want this.

The Estuary "Unwatched" filter (in the "Recently Added" view) doesn't work as well as this database method, because let's say you have 50 recently added movies (the first 25 of which have been watched, the next 25 of which are unwatched) then in Estuary - which only shows at most 25 items - when you enable the "Unwatched" filter the "Recently Added" list becomes empty and doesn't show the remaining 25 unwatched movies.
Presumably this is because Estuary retrieves the 25 most recently added movies and then filters out the watched movies, leaving none left. If instead Estuary queried the database for "most recently added movies that have not been watched limit 25" then it would work much better. Which is basically what the Confluence patches did, I think.
The Estuary (must most likely "core"?) implementation of the "Unwatched" filter is so wrong it's not worth having IMHO - my movies "Recently Added" list currently shows 1 movie when applying the Unwatched filter, yet there's hundreds of unwatched movies in the library. It's the same with episodes, too.
Similarly the Estuary Home screen would work better if it had the option to show only unwatched recently added movies/episodes (using a database query, and not applying a filter on a limited result set). My Estuary home screen is cluttered with movies and episodes I've already watched, and there's no way to get rid of them.
A global non-skin specific "Hide watched" setting for the Recently Added queries would be a great thing IMHO, and would certainly improve Estuary.
