Hi,

I watch some large videos on Kodi, currently I am watching a tutorial that is 4 hours and 40 minutes, I'm over 4 hours into it and I pressed stop - the problem is that Kodi stops remembering exactly where I am and marks the video as played.  Kodi no longer asks me to resume exactly where I left off.  My question is can I stop this behaviour - I don't need a tick mark to say I have watched a video but I need to pick up exactly where I left off and finish the video 100% - down to the last 30 seconds.

It shouldn't matter whether a video is short or long. That status of every video, scraped or not, is being tracked & stored in the video database. If the watched and/or resume status is no longer stored, then you may have a corrupted video database.

Some things about the watched status you can adjust in the advancedsettings.xml file are for example:

xml:
	<video>

		<playcountminimumpercent>99</playcountminimumpercent>

		<ignoresecondsatstart>10</ignoresecondsatstart>

		<ignorepercentatend>1</ignorepercentatend>

	</video>

I don't think it's corrupt, I have been using Kodi on several machines and they all have this attribute - saying I completed a long video when there might be fair percentage left.  I would like to try your suggestion but I have not found advancedsettings.xml on my system.

Then simply create it with your standard ASCII text editor, which shouldn't be a problem when you're on Linux.
In full:

xml:
<advancedsettings>

	<video>

		<playcountminimumpercent>99</playcountminimumpercent>

		<ignoresecondsatstart>10</ignoresecondsatstart>

		<ignorepercentatend>1</ignorepercentatend>

	</video>

</advancedsettings>

There are plenty of other settings to put in there.

I've just tried it with and without the script and it works perfectly, thanks very much! Very satisfying
