Custom script to mark media "read" ?

[morphman]

hi

i would like to add a little functionality to my media collection (specifically videos). i have a lot of full tv series episodes, and its sometimes difficult to remember which episodes i have watched and which i havnt.

i would like a script, that can be mapped to a button press, so that i can rename files in my media collection and add _watched or s omething to them.

is this even possible to do? it would mean a script being able to detect the xbmc's currently selected context.

i believe this is not possible through python. you can only detect position on lists created as python objects. there could be some direct commands to xbmc that i haven't heard of, but i really don't think so.

ideally it should be coded into xbmc itself, but myself i don't really see that happening (i don't decide anything though of course) as it is a rather useless feature that would clutter the interface in my opinion. but who knows what will be added...
