I ran a verbose frontend and this is what I found after I finished<br>
watching the video:<br>

Have posted to dev forum. Haven't had a response yet though.<br>

Where are you within the video when you exit. You need to be "sufficiently close" to the end for MythTV to mark the recording as watched. Note, also, that for some video types, MythTV may not be able to figure out how close you are to the end without help (i.e. for MPEG-2 you may need to create video seek tables, or for some AVIs you may be out of luck, etc.). How close is "sufficiently close"? If you always exit within the last 4 minutes of the video, it should be sufficiently close. On longer recordings, farther from the end will work (up to 12 minutes), but I recommend always exiting within 4 minutes of the end if you're relying on automatically marking the recording as watched rather than manually doing so.<br>
<br>
Note that MythTV will mark a show as not watched--even if it was marked as watched when you entered playback--if you exit at any point that's not close enough to the end. (Since you started watching, again, and didn't finish, MythTV assumes you want to finish watching it later.)<br>
