I have a few shows like the Daily Show I’ll sometimes watch the monologue but not the full episode.
Plex has a setting to “Keep unwatched episodes” which will delete never-watched episodes, and another to “delete X days after viewing” for fully-watched episodes. But if an episode is partially watched, neither applies and it just sits there.
This seems like a weird oversight and I am wondering if there’s a setting I’m missing. I can’t be the first person who wants “delete 7 days after adding regardless of anything else”
You could create a cron job to delete files out of that directory if they’re more than seven days old.
Yeah I thought about that. Every podcast player in the world has a “delete after X days” feature, I don’t understand why Plex split this into two options that don’t cover everything.
