I also have a series of smart playlists based on Last Watched as shown in the image. That advancedsettings.xml has no effect on Last Played. It only deals with setting the Resume Point.

I also had the problem of accidentally playing a movie. I overcame that problem by changing the Default Select Action from Play to Show Information.... https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Videos#Default_select_action
Sure it requires one extra button press to play the movie, but that well offsets then trying to erase the last played dates after accidentally playing it.

I recently created a smart playlist for movies where one of the rules is that it haven't been watched in the last two years however I encountered the same problem, because loads of movies that I haven't watched in that period of time still have a 'last played date' from 2020 or 2019 because of accidental presses and so on. Obviously I can change the date so it works with my playlist, but is there a way to make sure this doesn't happen in the future? Just like the movie isn't marked as watched by just starting and stopping it again I don't want it to update the 'last played date' either. I even found a movie I've never even started watching that had a 'last played date' from last year.

To be honest my issue is also not solved, the inprogress is True as soon as the first episode of a series has been played.
Most likely it can't be solved without changing the way Kodi works.

I don't know as I don't use the autoplay feature. (is that an addon or is that Kodi core?)

I have my TV Shows arranged by "Last Played" Descanding so the show(s) I am currently watching are at the top of the list. Then my episodes are sorted by "Play Count" Ascending, so the unwatched or least watched episodes are at the top. So all I have to do is enter the show I want to watch and hit play on the first item in the list.
