Great that is working now.
Others will be able to solve it now if they have a problem.

Just saw this thread and it seems like a great idea. Installed fine and worked straight away, as I already had the dependent settings in place. However...
Although watched status is updated I note something fishy with respect to the last played date, which presumably should be today if I just watched the media file.
Here's an extract from the nfo of a video I have watched and later did an Kodi export:
<playcount>1</playcount>
<lastplayed>2018-05-01</lastplayed>
Here is what an unwatched video nfo looks like:
<playcount>0</playcount>
<lastplayed></lastplayed>
Here is what the above looks like after I watched the video and this addon did its thing:
<playcount>1</playcount>
<lastplayed/>
I don't know that this would necessarily cause a problem, per se, but it's not ideal...
Cheers,
Robert

FYI, further to my earlier comment, I looked more closely at an nfo file affected by the addon and found a number of tags that had similar non-valid changes. I don't have one in front of me now but same sort of issue as above, single malformed tags:
<something/>
Also note that after uninstalling the addon it continued to work until I removed its section from userdata and rebooted.
I hope the originator of the addon updates it because it has merit and could well be useful, but not in its current state with Kodi Krypton.
Cheers,
Robert

For a standard setup, there is no disadvantage to overwriting your nfo files. My post you quoted was not meant to imply that there was any disadvantage. Quite the opposite.
Many members seem to have a strange understanding of NFO Files and their uses.

Any chance someone with the sills could look at this and possibly make it a workable/reliable service. I have zero skills, but really like thisas I imagine a lot of other users do as well. Thanks!

Hi ! sorry to dig out this old post but I have just updated kodi from 18.9 to 19.3 on my nvidia shield and my addon nfo-watchedstate-updater don't work anymore... I would like to know if there is any other addon that could do the same thing (eg. update ONLY the watchedstate info in the nfo of the video that has just been read.) because i use the nfo to keep track of the watched movie and it take a hella time to check all the database (plus i'm not the only user so i can't be on guard duty all time).
thanks in advance!
