Recording Automatically Marked Watched

[Taddeusz]

At what point in watching something does SageTV decide to mark something as watched? We stopped a 2 hour recording at about 1:22:03 and it's being automatically marked as watched. The next time we go to watch this it's going to start from the beginning rather than where we left off.

Any way to correct this?

I thought it was closer to 80%. Looks like it is 70% based on your results. And I don't know of a way to change it sorry. It usually works out well on a recording from a premium channel where they have allot of junk after the show that is still in the EPG as part of the show.

Doesn't work for regular network shows that might only have a couple minutes, if that, of crud at the end. Not to mention, if it's based on a percentage as you're indicating, the longer the recording the worse this will affect things. For an hour program that only 18 minutes but you get to a three hour program and now you're up to almost an hour at 54 minutes. Makes more sense to base it on time left rather than a percentage.

I completely agree.
