Ok, i have to follow up again on this, even if it sounds strange. The solution above may work for some, but it still wasnt producing the result i wanted. The problem currently is, i suspect, that when radar sees a update to the metadata, it replaces the existing nfo and therefore also erasing my watched status. To confirm this i have disabled in jellyfin the option to save the watched status in the nfo. It should save the watched status now in the database.
If this now works as suspected, i may leave it that way, but thats not really a satisfiying solution. I would like to have the watched status stored somewhere, so that i could migrate it or use it for something else. At the same time i like that radar creates the metadata when downloading a movie so everything is "ready to use", in case i would want to use a different media player and because i currently dont know when exactly jellyfin creates the metadata (when scanning the library? Couldnt find anything in the docs).
I also dont really want to use trakt or similar plugins because
a) i dont watch stuff on different platforms for trakt to become important for me and
b) just using trakt so that i can keep my watched status seem a bit overkill/unneccessary?
