Reset Watched Status after X Months - grmlrckr - 2022-01-24

Hi there,

I have Kodi 19 installed on three different machines, all Win10 PCs. They all access the same MariaDB database for movie information, graphics are stored locally.

As remote app I use Yatse on my Android phone. When checking the details for a movie [in Yatse] I can see when I have watched it the last time. So this info is somewhere in the database.
Is there any possibility/addon to automatically reset the watched status of a movie after xx months/years?

I have checked the addons in the standard repository but didn't find any that would do that. Only Janitor, but from the description it will delete the files after watching them. So this is not what I want. Also a Google search didn't find anything.

Sure, I could do that reset manually within the database in the correct table with kind of a Cron job, but I'd prefer to have something within Kodi and not mess with the DB directly.

Appreciate any hints and input!

Which data do you want reset- playcount or date last watched or both?
Regardless, I am not aware of any add-on that resets this data.

Actually I just want to have it marked as "Unwatched" again. So I guess resetting the play count should be enough.

This script in combination with the Kodi autoexec service will give the option to reset the playcount and the "lastplayed"-value for movies which have been watched over a year ago. While using the Kodi autoexec-service this check could run at every Kodi start.
