</div>A friend of mine just demonstrated this on his system, but we were<br>
running a very old version of -fixes at the time. I upgraded our<br>
systems this week and asked him to let me know if he's still seeing the<br>
issue so I could fix it. I'll take your question as confirmation that<br>
it still exists.<br>
<br>
I'll take a look at it. It's quite likely I'm going to switch my dev<br>
box over to -fixes to do some unrelated work, today, so I can work on<br>
the watched flag stuff at the same time.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Same for me, it never marked a program watched even if I let it run until playback ended and returned me to the recording menu, however, when I checked the box that would mark a recording watched as long as I was "near the end" of a program before I exited, myth started marking programs as read.<br>
<br>This really caused a problem because all the stuff I watched prior to changing that setting were not marked as watched and everything i watched after making the setting change was getting marked as watched and therefore was expiring before all the old stuff. I finally put together a SQL command to mark everything as watched and that fixed it for me.<br>
