Import playcount / watched state from .nfo is ignored - wickedjelly - 2025-03-11
Hi
I'm currently moving from Kodi to Jellyfin, all movies are organised with .nfo files and contain the playcount with the format:
<playcount>1</playcount>
All movies get imported with correct artwork and actors and so on, however the watched state for all movies remains "unwatched".
I tried to add the tag
<lastplayed>2025-03-11 21:44:11</lastplayed>
and
<watched>true</watched>
and did a metadata refresh, however, nothing changes.
I understand the watched state is stored in the Jellyfin DB, unless you overwrite it to be stored in .nfo files, however, I only want to import it, from there, it should be saved in the Jellyfin DB...
What could I be missing?
Thank you.

Dashboard > Libraries > NFO Settings > Save user watch data to NFO files for:
Set that to your desired user. I'm not sure if that will IMPORT the watch state from the NFO, though. But it will update NFOs going forward.
