Hey, new to XBMC, hopefully I'm not missing something obvious here. I'm using Confluence (XBMC v 11.0) and the Hide watched toggle doesn't appear to do anything in file view. Watching files is causing them to be flagged as watched, so that part's working. But selecting "Hide watched" from the side menu doesn't hide those files. In fact the bullet next to "Hide watched" doesn't highlight when I select it. Is there a global setting somewhere I need to adjust? I've tried this in other skins as well and am seeing the same behavior. Thanks for the help.

By the looks of the code, you need to have content set on the folder (or one of it's parents) in order for the watched button to do it's thing. The reason is that the watched status is independent of content type.
This IMO is a bug - there's no need for it to be like this particularly. If you (or someone else) wants to take a crack at fixing it, I think all that needs to be done is an empty or default content type needs adding in Settings.cpp - see m_watchMode.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hmm. So if the content type isn't set it won't work? That is annoying since this folder doesn't use any of the content types (it's VOD files from Rifftrax.com, I don't think they're in the TV or Movie databases). Fixing this sounds beyond my abilities since I'm not even sure where to find that settings file. Anybody else want to give it a shot?
