Watched icon doesn't get updated on themes after watching a video

[hackedbellini@…]

I first reported this on steppes theme[1], but the dev there told me that this is probably a problem on your side..so here it is:

When watching a video and having the option to "Automatically mark it as watched", after seeing the video, the icon does not get updated.

The process of marking it as watched works, but I can only see that changes after I "Scan for changes".

On 0.25, that used to happen even when I manually marked a video as "Watched", but on 0.26 it was fixed.

Is this still an issue? Is this with the internal video player? Can you post the version you are using?

Replying to dekarl:

Is this still an issue?

I don't know about 0.27, but on 0.26 this is still an issue. I'm using Mythbuntu with this ppa [1] that as you can see, is using the last mythtv from branch 'fixes/0.26' [2]

Is this with the internal video player?

With the internal video player I expect this issue to really happen =P.

But no, this happens with the internal player too. The exactly way to reproduce is:

1) Watch a video with the option "Automatically mark it as watched" set 2) After watching it, see that it's "watched" flag isn't set (since the video info menu presents an option to "Mark as watched" and not the opposite) 3) But the flag is kind of lazily set since when doing a "Scan for changes" it's now marked as watched

Actually number 3 sometimes isn't true, but then there's another issue (the "Mark as watched" is not reliable depending on how the video was stopped), but when it does the right thing (setting it as watched) I can only see the flag setted after scanning for changes.

Can you post the version you are using?

0.26 + fixes

hackedbellini, are you using the Qt painter? Does this also occur with the OpenGL painter.

Paint engine This selects what MythTV uses to draw. Choosing 'Auto' is recommended, unless running on systems with broken OpenGL implementations (broken hardware or drivers or windowing systems) where only Qt works.

[hackedbellini@…]

Hi,

When I reported this, I was using OpenGL and the latest MythTV version.

I don't know if the issue is still reproducible because I'm not using mythtv anymore. I acquired a raspberry pi and since mythtv does not run on it, unfortunately, I have to move to xbmc.

Hi, yes, I can confirm the issue occurs with the OpenGL painter, using late-ish master (v0.28-pre-1041-ga0a32ef-dirty). To see the watched icon "on" I have to exit and re-visit mythvideo.

Here is what I've observed, it may help solve this issue:

The behaviour is independent of the painter used. I've tested it with Qt, OpenGL1 and OpenGL2 with the same results, using the Steppes theme.

In MythVideo?, I have Folders like Series-->SeriesName?--> SeriesName? S01E01.mkv, SeriesName? S01E02.mkv, etc

View Mode:List    |View episode to end | After exiting to parent folder    | After exiting to main |
                  |                    | and reentering same series folder | menu and reentering   |
------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------|

I hope the above primitive table illustrates the behaviour I've observed. Please let me know what else I can provide to help solving this.

This isn't a bug as such, it was simply never implemented.
