Last Watched?

[Bobins]

V4 NVPVR used to have a "Last Watched" page that showed the most recent recordings which had been watched on playback but not watched to completion.

Has that function been included in the V6 software?

Are you referring to NextPVR or perhaps the TV Listings plugin?

Hmmm. Now you come to mention it, it might have been the TV Listings plugin. (Been a long time since I tweaked the old V4 system and now it's retired I can't easily go back to check).

Shame that function doesn't seem to be in V6   .

I totally agree with that & it is a function I have asked sub to add for NextPVR but it never got any traction

Jaggy,

Unfortunately I'm getting a lot of grief from my other half after the changes from V4 to V6 and losing that function is a cause for much earache   (coz it's all my fault for messing up the system!)

Sub
Really appreciate the hard work you put in to this software (and the support from others here) so the above is not a criticism of your efforts!!!

Request: Is there any chance we could get this function back?

Yes please!

It's not as simple asking to bring something back when it never existed in NextPVR code. It become a development and design issue. ie do you show fully watched shows and shows briefly watched? Then once the logic is designed sub needs the UI metadata etc. Then users will want it in other clients not just NextPVR.exe and other clients.

I can imagine the sql for the query being something not too hard but.

Code:

select * from scheduled_recording, playback_position
where scheduled_recording.filename like '%' || playback_position.filename
and position > 20
and position < duration - 60
order by last_watched desc
limit 50

The lack of plugins after v4 is very well documented, but even if they existed who's to say if TV Listings would have been updated alibert hasn't logged in since 2019.

It is definitely a feature request & not a small thing, but it was the one thing about the recordings side of TVListings that was very useful & totally lacking in NextPVR
