Bug in watched recording logic (videos plugin)

[gEd]

In videos plugin.
I watched R:\archive\green wing\series 1\episode 1.avi. When I then went to watch R:\archive\green wing\series 2\episode 1.avi, the plugin incorrectly showed that I had watched the show. i.e. is doesn't take account of the full path name, only the file name.

Ah, right. I'm not sure if I'll try to do anything about that one. It's intentionally only taking account of the filename, to allow people to resume(and see watched status) after moving/archiving the file, or viewing from clients that see the file as another path. Thankfully I'd imagine this is pretty rare, so most people have more specific file names than that.

In the early days it was the complete path, but it was changed a couple of years ago to only pay attention to the filename part, after a couple of users requested it. Seemed fairly safe at the time.

That is by design, quite a few versions ago. The old method wasn't compatible with archiving, or network sharing.
