Indication that a recording has been watched
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: crowfan

Hey all,

I was wondering if this would be useful to anyone else.

I would like to see some sort of indicator in the Now Playing screen that indicated whether I've watched a recording or not. For example, putting a green border around the icon, or italicizing the text. That way you could tell automatically whether you've watched a particular episode of a show, without having to select the show and read the description.

A show would be considered "watched" when it reaches a certain point in the recording. TiVo already has this built in: if you press the left arrow button while watching a show, and you are within X minutes of the end of the recording (I forget how many, 5?), you get the screen that asks whether or not you want to delete it. Otherwise, you don't get that screen. The same logic could be used for marking a show as "watched."

Along with this feature could be a feature to "Mark as Watched."

What does everyone think? I looked, but this doesn't seem to have been posted before. Seems like a relatively easy thing to program (although I really don't know), and it would be useful, at least to me.

I was actually thinking about this earlier today. I think that it would be helpful especially if you have alot of recordings.
