Just paid attention to his thread finally (nice title ) as I have a shared MySQL DB and a system that has been supporting my household for a number of years. Great initiative!
One scenario I wanted to flag (and you may have this covered and I've missed it in which case I apologise) is that there may be situation where you want to retain //plugin data if that is the only way of retaining which streams/files have been watched.
For example, I regularly use the Apple iTunes Trailers addon (http://addons.kodi.tv/show/plugin.video...._trailers/) and I do want to keep track of which trailers I've watched. Especially as new trailers are often added for popular movies over time so knowing which trailers I've watched and which are new is important to me. Alternatively, maybe adding date parameters (i.e. delete data over X months old or older than Y date) would work fine.
