When I said nice I just meant in comparison with what I see when accessing Plex on the TV. The native samsung interface does not show any images just text and I have also noticed that some files are not displayed at all (for no obvious reason that I can determine). The only display difference with servioo is the inclusion of thumbnail cover images, as you say, but I have found that it does display, and plays, all my video files including those missing on Plex.
My question really was how. as a one off exercise, to mark as "viewed" the many films/episodes that I have already watched using Plex.
Where exactly does Serviio put the asterisk - I don't see anything against the file that I watched on the TV last night and I don't see any way to access the serviio database
One thing which does seem annoying is that you cannot apply the filters to view "unwatched" after you have selected "movies", "series" or "Folders" something that you can do easily with Plex
I have Movies and TV series in separate folders with sub-folders for each series so find it is best to navigate using folders as serviio does not always seem to determine the difference between Movies, TV series, music videos or even home videos so when for example you pull up "recently added" or "unwatched" it includes all types of video. Ideally I want to be able to identify unwatched or newly aded videos for a specific series.
It is beginning to look as if I will have to continue using the text based plex interface as the main viewing tool maybe keeping serviio simply to access files that plex refuses to display. I wonder though about computer resource issues of running the two servers, Plex is quite resource intensive unless you set library updating to manual.
Thanks for you comments
