HOW-TO:Modify automatic watch and resume points

This page describes three advancedsettings.xml settings that can be used to modify when "watched" and "resume" marks are saved. These settings can also be used to prevent automatically saving watched and resume points. A watched point records if a video has been watched or not. A resume point records where in a video file playback has stopped, so it can be resumed later.

Steps
If you don't already have an advancedsettings.xml file, it's very simple to make. Kodi uses this file for advanced settings and features that normal users shouldn't modify without first knowing what they do, as well as for experimental features.

More agressive settings
This example also prevents the small gap between being marked as watched and still resumable.

Prevent watch and resume points from being saved
If you don't want watched or resume points/marks saved automatically then you can use these values. Since it is impossible to playback a video at 101 percent, no mark is made. Watched marks can still be manually recorded using on a keyboard, the context menu, or an add-on such as Add-on:Trakt. This only prevents new marks from being automatically added and won't remove existing marks in the database. To remove existing marks you can use on a keyboard or the context menu.
