Ok, So it is only failing if the category is blank ? I didn't test for that scenario. I'll take a look.

Yes it appears so.
I uncategorized that file and again the regular files did not show in the list after a 'Refresh'.
Perhaps Mezzmo builds the list but if one file is not categorized then the building fails and none show.
Ian
Ok. I have a fix for when the category is blank. I thought I was catching it with 2.1.6.0 but realized I wasn't checking for it being empty. I'll push out 1.1.6.1 and 2.1.6.1 in the morning. In the mean time if you want to download it it here as v1.2.6.0a to ensure it fixes the issue. Click on Code and then Download to download the file.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
Installed the test version and all is working normally.
Thanks
Ian
Thanks for helping with this. I've spent more time with this section of code and realized it needed some work. This is some pretty old code with some limitations like if a video had multiple categories it would only find the first one, even if a better category was number 2 or 3 in the list. When I added the native mode moviset support in 2.1.5.8 I only complicated the code logic.
I've updated the entire code section, simplified and streamlined it, keeping the fix you tested. I've got a bit more testing to do and if everything goes Ok I will push it out as 2.1.6.1 later today.
To your earlier comments on how this works, when you browse a playlist Mezzmo sends a list of titles and all associated metadata to the Mezzmo Kodi addon. The addon then parses each item one by one, folders first and then individual items. If an exception failure occurs, like we saw, then the addon stops iterating the list from Mezzmo and displays however far it got through the list. In this case I presume the video you had issues with was the first item in the list. Otherwise it should have displayed items with a proper category before it hit a blank one and got an exception.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.1) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.1) have been posted on GitHub. These versions fix a bug
introduced in v1.1.5.8 / 2.1.5.8 of code which could cause some videos not
to display properly while browsing your library. They also improve the recently
added feature which allows manually adding servers.
A big thanks to Ian for identifying and troubleshooting the category bug.
v1.1.6.1 Kodi 18
• Fixed bug introduced in v2.1.5.8 that would cause videos not to be
displayed if Kodi was not in sync with Mezzmo and the category type
was not set to movie or TV Show.
• Further improvement of the category type code to simplify the logic,
better handle multiple categories for a video and fix issue that would
cause items not to displayed if the category was blank for a video.
• Added check for improperly formatted or missing duration in Mezzmo
that could cause an exception error and videos not to display
• Improved manual IP server additions to include the ability to use
nonstandard ports and certain non-Mezzmo servers.
v2.1.6.1 Kodi 19+
• Fixed bug introduced in v2.1.5.8 that would cause videos not to be
displayed if Kodi was not in sync with Mezzmo and the category type
was not set to movie or TV Show.
• Further improvement of the category type code to simplify the logic,
better handle multiple categories for a video and fix issue that would
cause items not to displayed if the category was blank for a video.
• Added check for improperly formatted or missing duration in Mezzmo
that could cause an exception error and videos not to display
• Improved manual IP server additions to include the ability to use
nonstandard ports and certain non-Mezzmo servers.
If you have version 1.1.4.4 or 2.1.4.4 installed (or higher) and automatic updates
are enabled this update will be automatic over the next 24 hrs. Otherwise please
use the links below for manual installation.
There are separate links for the Kodi 18 and Kodi 19 versions. The Kodi 19 version is based upon the

You can find more information on the native mode operation on the Wiki page. Note that when you first enable
native mode you will need to wait until the addon completes a daily sync cycle to update some of the Kodi data
format in order to properly display metadata. You can also clear the Mezzmo data in the Kodi DB if you would
like to speed up the process. Once a complete sync cycle has occurred everything should operate as expected.
For those interested in Kodi Nexus compatibility the Kodi 19 version has been updated to support the Nexus
database numbering scheme but full testing hasn't occurred. This is planned for the near future.
Feedback and feature requests are always welcome. I would like to understand how many of you use
the addon to play music from Mezzmo ? This could help guide future feature development.

Everyone,
One of the goals with the Mezzmo Kodi addon is to make things as easy and automated as possible
to improve the overall Kodi experience. With that in mind and seeing some comments in the Kodi forums,
I am contemplating adding a new feature called Quick Play. The concept is to add a context menu item
which would allow quick access to your favorite videos and have it driven by special Mezzmo Keywords
(i.e. Kodi tags). The concept is similar to existing addons like Super Favorites and such but a bit automated
where the feature would sync all Kodi clients automatically and potentially not require another addon. It
wouldn't be as full featured as Super Favorites and similar types of addons, for those who need all of their
capabilities but for those wanting a simple, integrated way to quickly launch their videos, this Quick Play
feature may be enough.
I've mocked up a proposal on what it might the feature might look like.
Please click here to see the Quick Play Proposal.
Feedback is most welcome.
Thanks,
Jeff
An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.2) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.2) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a couple
of fixes and a few enhancements. In addition the Wiki page continues to be
updated with a lot of new content. Feedback on the Wiki page is welcome.
v1.1.6.2 Kodi 18
• Removed Kodi from manual uPNP server additions due to random port usage.
Kodi uPNP servers will still be discovered via the automatic process.
• Fixed bug where bookmarks were being set / cleared for the underlying
movies when their trailers were being played.
• Improved usability where addon GUI would restart after native mode
search was completed. Native mode search completion now goes back to
native mode menu.
• Added new Diagnostics settings section with options for temporary server
response logging to aid in troubleshooting Mezzmo and uPNP XML metadata
responses. The settings will disable after an optional number of server
responses to avoid overly expanding the Kodi.log file size.
v2.1.6.2 Kodi 19+
• Removed Kodi from manual uPNP server additions due to random port usage.
Kodi uPNP servers will still be discovered via the automatic process.
• Fixed bug where bookmarks were being set / cleared for the underlying

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.3) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.3) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a minor
enhancement and v2.1.6.3 is focused on supporting Kodi 20, Nexus. Initial testing
with the Alpha 2 release has been completed and two modifications were needed.
Additional Nexus testing will occur as the beta and production processes occur.
v1.1.6.3 Kodi 18
• Improved the reliability of the SSDP automatic server discovery process
and standardized the code between Kodi 18 and 19 versions.
v2.1.6.3 Kodi 19+
• Improved the reliability of the SSDP automatic server discovery process
and standardized the code between Kodi 18 and 19 versions.
• Initial fixes for Kodi Nexus 20 Alpha 2 release. Fixed video database
numbering and Mezzmo addon automatic update repository format.
• Added support for new Kodi 20 feature which disables native mode Mezzmo
context menu when native mode sync setting is disabled. With Kodi 19
the Mezzmo context menu is always presented in native mode operation.

Hi Jeff,
I got a few questions about Nexus if I may.
Is it possible to migrate from 19 to 20, or do we need to start over?
Have you noticed any performance improvement over 19?
I'm just wondering if it's worth it to upgrade or not.
Thanks!
It is possible to upgrade from 19 to 20. In fact I tested upgrading from 18 to 20. I would hold off quite a bit until Nexus is production and not in alpha code. The upgrade from 19 to 20 will be less eventful than 18 to 19, which changed the version of Python from 2 to 3. However, there are likely some addons which will break when going to 20. I found 2 older calls in code I was using in 19 which are no longer supported in 20, which prompted the Mezzmo Kodi addon bump to 2.1.6.3. One thing to note is that the things that may break when going from 19 to 20 may not be readily apparent and might only be seen in the logs.
I will be doing some performance testing between 19 and 20. So far I am testing with the Windows builds and am seeing about a 10% improvement when browsing the Mezzmo library. There's a new method Kodi has for displaying items in the GUI, which is supposed to speed up performance even more. That's going to require a bit of code changes and will likely appear in a future release of the addon. I'll update as that testing proceeds.
Thanks,
Jeff
Thanks for the info, very helpful.
An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.4) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.4) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain two minor
enhancements and v2.1.6.4 is focused on supporting Kodi 20, Nexus, including
support of a new rendering method for improved performance when running in the
normal GUI mode. This will improve the speed at which playlists display, especially
large playlists on lower powered devices. Additional Nexus testing will occur as the
beta and production processes occur.
v1.1.6.4 Kodi 18
• Fixed issue where movie title may not always appear in the video information
panel when using the Estuary skin.
• Improved artwork detection and metadata for certain uPNP servers.
v2.1.6.4 Kodi 19+
• Fixed issue where movie title may not always appear in the video information
panel when using the Estuary skin.
• Improved artwork detection and metadata for certain uPNP servers.
• Added support for new Nexus 20 metadata rendering method for Mezzmo and Generic
uPNP servers.

*** Note for Kodi Nexus 20 users ***
Please keep an eye out for items not displaying when browsing your Mezzmo or uPNP playlists. The
new Nexus 20 rendering method is quite a bit different than Kodi 19 and before so there is a lot of new
code in use. I've tried to test for all possibilities but there could still be situations where a playlist
may get truncated or doesn't display due to something unique being received from the server being
browsed. If you experience this, please let me know right away.

I've created a new Wiki page in order to highlight new proposed features for the Mezzmo
Kodi addon. With the Wiki page it is now much easier to provide provide some screenshots
of what the new features might look like and get feedback. Currently there are 3 new feature
proposals being considered.
Quick Play
Movie Sets
Movie Versions
As new features are proposed they will be added and as they are adopted they will be
removed from the proposal Wiki page. Features which are proposed but not adopted
(i.e. complexity, redundancy etc..) will be moved to the bottom.
Feedback is very welcome on the proposed features as well as any new features you
might be interested in seeing added.
Additionally I've spent quite a bit of time updating the Wiki page for Managing Your Library
and Movie Trailers. New topics include: Deleting Content, Backup and Restore, and Local
Movie Trailers.
I hope you find these helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff
A new proposed feature called Immediate Full Sync has been added to the Proposed New
Features Wiki page.
Brief Description:
Currently the Mezzmo Kodi addon allows clearing of the Mezzmo data in the Kodi database
via the addon settings option "Kodi DB clear Mezzmo data on startup". This Immediate Full
Sync proposal would modify this setting adding an option to allow a clearing of all Mezzmo
data in the Kodi DB followed by an immediate full resynchronization of Mezzmo to Kodi DB
with progress indicator dialog box. Currently when you clear your Kodi database the
background sync process handles the rebuild, which takes longer.
This feature request seems very helpful and is likely to be implemented. Feedback is
welcome.
Jeff
An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.5) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.5) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a bug
fix, some minor tweaks and a new feature enhancements which allows a full
resync of your Kodi DB from Mezzmo on demand. Previously you could clear
the Kodi DB on demand but the rebuild process was tied to the hourly sync.
Now you can do a total rebuild on the fly. It isn't something you will likely need
to do often but it will be handy if you need it.
v1.1.6.5 Kodi 18
• Improved clarity for the notification message when no Mezzmo sync server has
been selected.
• Extended functionality of the clear Mezzmo from Kodi database setting option
to now allow a full immediate resync of all Mezzmo data into the Kodi database.
• Modified default setting for the Auto Background Sync and Performance Logging
from disabled to enabled.
• Fixed obscure bug that could prevent setting the Mezzmo sync server if any UPnP
server responded without proper manufacturer information.
v2.1.6.5 Kodi 19+
• Improved clarity for the notification message when no Mezzmo sync server has

A new proposed feature called Kodi Selective Sync has been added to the Proposed New Features Wiki page.
Brief Description:
The Mezzmo Kodi addon currently is an all or nothing solution except for parental controls. Even with parental controls it becomes an all or nothing per device so if you wanted to run multiple profiles in Kodi, each with a different view of your Mezzmo library in Kodi, that currently isn't supported by the addon or some other external sync solutions. Selective sharing of your library by Kodi device in GUI mode is currently supported.
What this proposal may provide is up to 4 different user selectable, fully customizable, sync profiles for your Kodi instances. These can be shared across Kodi instances and tied to your Kodi profiles. See here for more details on how this proposed might work. This feature would provide centralized control of what each Kodi device and/or profile would see in native mode operation. Now from one place you could quickly change profile content on the fly and not need to touch each Kodi instance to edit what each sees from Mezzmo. This central control has always been available for parental controls but not multiple selective sharing profiles of the library content to individual Kodi devices.
Feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
Jeff
An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.6) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.6) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
couple of bugs fixes and a major new enhancement Mezzmo Selective Sync.
This feature is pretty unique for Kodi syncing solutions and provides up to
5 custom views of your Mezzmo database for Kodi. Now you can create
distinct views of your Mezzmo library across Kodi profiles or Kodi devices,
all being managed centrally.
v1.1.6.6 Kodi 18
• Fixed issue where manual Full Sync completion notification message would not
appear and sync logs improperly indicated 0 records processed if the Mezzmo
database contained less than 1000 records.
• Added progress indicator dialog box when manually clearing the Mezzmo data
in the Kodi database.
• Fixed issue where Kodi might hang when running multiple profiles and logging
out of a profile.
• Added new Mezzmo Selective Sync feature where you can select up to 5 options
to do full or partial synchronization of your Mezzmo library to Kodi. This
will allow up to 5 profiles on a Kodi instance each with its own specific
user definable view of your Mezzmo library.
v2.1.6.6 Kodi 19+

Jeff,
I went from version 2.1.5.4 to 2.1.6.7 the other day, and I noticed a problem with the views for my Documentaries. I have set kodi to show 6 views only,
they are: List/Posters/TriPanel/Icons/Small Icons/wall.
After updating, only 2 are showing, they are: List or Icons. The other are gone, so it defaults to Icons view.
This does not happen to all of the folders (in documentaries), only some of them.
I can't seem to figure out why, so I tried a bunch of the older version to narrow it down.
The problem starts with version 2.1.6.1 on up. 2.1.6.0 and below are fine.
Thanks,
Ron
Ron,
I suspect the change in behavior is because of this change in v2.1.6.1:
v2.1.6.1 7/7/2022
- Further improvement of the category type code to simplify the logic,
better handle multiple categories for a video and fix issue that would
cause items not to displayed if the category was blank for a video.
This change improved how categories are handled for files in Mezzmo but it also changed the default from movie to video and now looks across all categories for a match instead of just the first category in the list (when a file has multiple categories). The Mezzmo addon also sets the category type based upon the last item in the playlist. In most instances this isn't an issue since playlists typically have all the same media types but there are scenarios where this isn't the case.
Can you look in a folder which is working fine and one that isn't at the properties of the last item in each playlists ? Then post the category entries for each.
Thanks,
Jeff
Jeff,
Looks like that's it. I installed 2.1.6.1 and tested by changing the last file to Tv Show.
It then allowed the following views: List/Tripanel/Icons. instead of just List/Icons.
Then I tried changed the last file from Tv Show to Movie, and got the following views: List/Posters/TriPanel/Icons/Small Icons/wall.
Those is the views I wanted. So it looks like I need to change the them to all to movie for it to work the way I want.
I haven't tried any other versions yet.
I don't know if it's possible, but I'd like the same 6 views regardless of file type.
Thanks for the help,
Ron
Ron,
The views provided are controlled by the skins by the category type. If I change that I break a number of skins. I could provide an option in the view settings options which would allow mapping to a category type regardless of what is received from Mezzmo. So you could basically say all videos are Movies. This would be similar to how we did the Top/Folder Content mapping option. I'll need to give it a bit of thought. Newer versions of the addon don't have any further view mapping changes.
Thanks,
Jeff
An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.6.9) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.6.9) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
couple of minor fixes and a major new enhancement where you can select whether
the Mezzmo music video category is synchronized with Kodi as movies or music
videos. The default is movies, which aligns to previous behavior. Note that this
only applies if you are using the Mezzmo Kodi addon in native mode and that a
resync is needed for the change to appear. Also note that not all Kodi skins
support the Music Video category.
*** Important Note ***
Support for Kodi 17 and below will likely be stopped in the very near future for new

v1.1.6.9 Kodi 18
• Added option to treat music videos as either movies or music videos in
Kodi native mode operation. The default is movies which is consistent
with earlier versions.
• Fixed bookmark issue in native mode where Kodi bookmarks may not get
updated properly if multiple movies had names which were almost identical
• Improved detection of codec changes during hourly sync process. It was
possible for certain codec changes to occur and not get detected until
the daily sync process.
v2.1.6.9 Kodi 19+
• Added option to treat music videos as either movies or music videos in
Kodi native mode operation. The default is movies which is consistent
with earlier versions.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.7.0) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.7.0) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
number of minor fixes found through extensive testing after the change to support
music video handling. That release had a significant amount of code change to
support the new media type. During that testing I found some code complexities
around the context menu handling for bookmark / resume points and playcount
setting. The next release will likely take some time to simplify this code and
will make future additions of new media types to synchronize between Mezzmo
and Kodi (i.e. music etc..) much simpler.
*** Important Note ***
Support for Kodi 17 and below will likely be stopped in the very near future for new
releases and fixes. If you are running Kodi 17 the Mezzmo Kodi addon will continue
to function but new features and fixes will cease and you will need to disable
automatic updates. Kodi 18 full support will continue. This change may occur in
the next release.
v1.1.7.0 Kodi 18
• Fixed minor bug introduced in 1.1.6.9 where extra file Kodi table entries
could be created if the new music video option was default but some videos
were categorized as music videos.
• Fixed very obscure old bug where all search results might not display if
real time updates were enabled and the Kodi database was not fully in sync
with Mezzmo.
• Added resetting of Kodi DB clean flag upon addon restart
• Removed minor 3 second delay on manual Kodi DB cleaning
v2.1.7.0 Kodi 19+
• Fixed minor bug introduced in 2.1.6.9 where extra file Kodi table entries
could be created if the new music video option was default but some videos
were categorized as music videos.
• Fixed very obscure old bug where all search results might not display if
real time updates were enabled and the Kodi database was not fully in sync
with Mezzmo.
• Added resetting of Kodi DB clean flag upon addon restart
• Removed minor 3 second delay on manual Kodi DB cleaning
• Fixed issue where the Details context menu item didn't always work properly
when doing a Mezzmo Search in GUI mode.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.7.1) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.7.1) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
some new features and minor fixes. The new features are around improving the
user friendliness when performing Mezzmo searches using Kodi native mode. The
fixes involved a significant rewrite and reduced complexity of the code which
detects and matches the Mezzmo media category types to the corresponding Kodi
supported media categories. This will allow easier addition of new future Kodi
categories and support for Mezzmo to Kodi music synchronization in the future.
*** Important Note ***
Support for Kodi 17 and below will likely be stopped in the very near future for new
releases and fixes. If you are running Kodi 17 the Mezzmo Kodi addon will continue
to function but new features and fixes will cease and you will need to disable

the next release.
v1.1.7.1 Kodi 18
• Added Kodi home option to native mode Mezzmo searches
• Added option to perform additional search to native and GUI mode searches
• Fixed issue introduced in v1.1.7.0 where if a musicvideo and a movie both
had the exact same name and the new musicvideo category feature was being
used, the wrong bookmark and playcounts might be set.
• Simplified category matching code for Kodi playcounts and bookmarks to
support additional category types in the future, should Kodi ever add any.
• Improved native mode Mezzmo search friendliness so that when no matches are
found the addon returns to the Kodi native mode home screen vs. the GUI mode
UPnP server listing screen.
v2.1.7.1 Kodi 19+
• Added Kodi home option to native mode Mezzmo searches
• Added option to perform additional search to native and GUI mode searches
• Fixed issue introduced in v2.1.7.0 where if a musicvideo and a movie both
had the exact same name and the new musicvideo category feature was being

It's been a few years since I've run a stress test on Mezzmo with the Mezzmo Kodi addon and multiple versions of Kodi. A lot has changed since the last test including many more 4K content, more video codecs and some different Kodi client hardware.*
I've added a Performance page to the Mezzmo Kodi addon Wiki to see the results.
In this stress test I had 6 Kodi clients streaming 3 4K UHD and 3 1080P streams with a 10TB disk copy running in the background on the server. 4 of the clients were wired Ethernet and 2 were connected via wireless. Clients were a mix of Kodi 18, 19 and 20, running on OSMC, LibnreElec and Windows. The server registered over 300mbps of streaming. All clients played their respective content flawlessly with no skips, delays or similar.**
This adds proof that done properly UPnP / DLNA can scale well, has high performance, s stable under load and integrates nicely with Kodi.*

Jeff

Welcome to 2023 and I hope everyone had a Happy New Year
Looking back over 2022 the Mezzmo Kodi addon had 31 software releases adding a significant amount of functionality and addressing a number of bug fixes. The complete set of release notes can be found here. For 2023 I am planning fewer releases, since much of the 2022 development was targeted at getting Kodi native mode functionality as close to being on par as possible with GUI mode operation. I've started planning the 2023 development and have added the Q1 targets to the Proposed New Features page. The next release will likely not be until sometime towards mid to late February because I will be on vacation for a bit in mid-January.
Here are my current plans for feature timing:
Q1 2023
• Full Kodi 21 Nexus support
• Standardize the context menus look and feel for individual library items between native mode and GUI mode operation.
• Fast Sync - The fast sync proposal would reduce the new content and bookmark / resume pointer sync time for Kodi native mode to 60 seconds or less.
• Mezzmo Movie Set - Mezzmo and the Mezzmo Kodi addon already fully support movie sets automatically but this proposal adds a content menu item for movie sets (if the current movie you select or position on is part of a movie set) and then if you click on Mezzmo Movie Set all of the movies in the set will be quickly displayed.
• Mezzmo Movie Versions - Movie versions are where you want to have multiple versions of the same movie but the versions are unique but grouped. Examples could be different formats (i.e. 1090P, 4K, etc), different cuts (i.e. theatrical, director's etc..) or different years / versions of the same movie. Other UPnP and non-UPnP solutions often require complicated naming or file layout structures. The Mezzmo proposed solution would simply need a Mezzmo keyword like ##version or similar added to the movies. Using keywords / Kodi tags would avoid having to rename files, create special file structure layouts or similar.
Q2 2023
• Begin exploring syncing the Mezzmo music library with Kodi. This will likely be a series of releases, each adding functionality and may stretch into Q3. My current thinking is to only leverage a background sync process and not provide a real time browsing sync with the Kodi database. This will greatly simplify things and speed up development. There are a number of differences in the current Kodi music database structure vs. the video database which will need to be sorted out and functionality decisions made (i.e. bookmark / resume points only available for audiobooks, duplicate detection may not be possible or significantly reduced and similar). More to come as this feature gets closer.
Q3 and Q4 planning will be based upon new feature requests, Kodi development (especially potential upcoming changes in the music database) and dependent upon how the Q1 and Q2 planned development progresses.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Jeff

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.1.7.3) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.1.7.3) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
bug fix and some new features, including a new feature called Movieset Quick
Access, which allows you quick access to all movies in a set. For GUI

new option called Mezzmo has been added and things like Mezzmo Mark
Watched/Unwatched have been moved there. This is to allow for upcoming
features and to standardize the context menus between GUI and Native modes.

return back to where the search was launched from vs. the GUI mode server
listing.

Jeff,
Updated to the latest version. I noticed the change made for marking items watched or unwatched. For me it's not working out so well. It's adding two steps to the process.
First, to get to the option, and now the "are you sure?" Dialogue. This is especially annoying when I want to mark a watched season unwatched so I can have keep track of the last episode I've watched.
I understand the reason for doing this, but when using a remote, this is cumbersome.
Just a suggestion, but could it be altered to having the option to mark it watched or unwatched without a the confirmation dialog?
I don't know if this can be done, but an option to mark an entire season as unwatched would be great!
Thanks for your time, and your work on the add-on.
Ron
Ron,
Good to hear from you again. I was thinking about you with the mark watched / unwatched changes. I can add an option setting to the addon to turn on / off the confirmation dialogs. That would be an easy change. I'd prefer not to move this back a level to the main context menu (out from under Mezzmo) to simplify things between GUI and native modes and to avoid the context menus getting any bigger. I hope an extra submenu isn't too bad. If it is I'll consider moving it back the way it was. If you want to see what it would look like the confirmation dialogs you can go back one version to 2.1.7.7 which doesn't have them but retains the submenu. Can you try this out and let me know if it is still too cumbersome ?
I think I can add the ability to mark an entire season as watched / unwatched but it will likely be with some limitations. I'll certainly give it some thought. If possible, it would likely be something along the lines of setting all items in the the current playlist you are positioned on as watched or unwatched.
Can you tell me more about how you organize your TV series on your hard drive ? For instance is every season in its own folder or part of a larger folder which contains all episodes in a TV series ? If more than one season is in the same folder I could try to match on the series name and season while I iterate through all of the episodes.
Thanks,
Jeff
