Serviio

I've JUST upgraded from a much older version to 1.7.1 (Yes I know 1.8 is out but I'm using a Thecus build).

On my old version, as I'm watching TV series, AS SOON as one episode finishes and goes to the next episode, Serviio marks the new episode as the current one being watched for resume purposes.

I've found on the new version that the time counter on the new episode needs to be PAST 5 minutes before Serviio marks it as the current episode.

This is unwanted behaviour for me, as often I stop watching the new episode immediately for whatever reason, but it IS the one I want to start on next time I sit down to watch episodes.

Is there a config file somewhere where I can set this back to a much shorter time? Maybe even back to previous behaviour? Hopefully it's not hard coded because I have no idea where a 5 minute delay in marking the episode is useful?

It's not 5 minutes, but a percentage (I think 10%) of the file. It's mostly due to the functionality now used for syncing with trakt.tv, etc.

The problem now is that the same information is used for last_watched and next_to_watch, so maybe it'll have to be split into two.

The reasonong behing the 10% is mostly because a new episode is played after the old one before I can turn off the TV, so I don't want the new episode marked as watched.

So in your case, assume the asterisk marker is for the last viewed episode, not the next one to watch.
