Unwatched Shows

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Display Only the media files that haven’t been watched.

The Unwatched folder will soon be your best friend. Once you have ran the meta data importer, all of your unwatched files will happily appear here ready to be watched for the first time. If you have files / folders showing up here you have already watched (before installing Sapphire) you can use the right arrow (seek) key on your Apple TV remote to switch into “Mark” mode. This will allow you to tag the file / directory as watched. Additionally, Sapphire is designed to automatically tag files as watched once they have been played beyond 90% of the duration so they won’t slip out of this menu on a miss-pressed key.
