About the "watched fully" idea. Do you keep in the db that information ?
No. With the current DB-Scheme, we are not able to do that. But afaik,
there is a ticket about storing and using that information. I also would
really like that, because I've all my movies in one directory and have
to think about each, wether I've already watched it or not...
All that was already working in the new-metadata-branch, but we didn't
merge it for good reasons. We look forward to use the Xesam-Database
[ticket 332] soon and hopefully that will enable support for such things.
Also something like a 'last_watches' and 'last added' entries in the
movie-menu, I hope :) .

If so, could it also be possible, next to the "play all files" button, to
display a "play unwatched files" or "play next unwatched file" (just the
next one). The tricky part is of course to determine which file is actually
"the next one". Probably that most people will understand if you just order
them by filename and rename their files if they use this option.
If you can remember what video has already been fully watch, you could also
remember where I was in the DVD or the long video I'm watching when I quit
and allow me to restart five seconds before that point. I think that this
feature already exist in one of the mplayer frontend of KDE.

I think that would definitely have to be optional. If I have films (or
even series episodes) that I haven't seen, I do NOT want to see too much
of it in the preview, that could totally spoil the film/episode (like,
you could see who the murderer is way too early).
Or another idea than optional: display multiple screenshots only for
files that have already been watched fully.

By the way, if you're rethinking the interface, could you consider the
idea of displaying more than one preview of the file ?
I'll explain myself, since it's probably not so useful for everyone.
Usually, I watch tv shows and it happens that I wait some weeks (or
months even) between two episodes, depending on my time schedule. Or
sometimes, I'd like to rewatch a good episode which exact episode
number i don't remember.
Usually, I feel that one screenshot for the episode is not so useful
(unless it display that one character doing something very specific,
but that doesn't happen every day). Maybe trying to display multiple
screenshots at multiple times in the video could be more practical.
This kind of things could be done if you decide to use a vertical
display.
I understand that it's probably only an idea for tv shows so it could
be some kind of option somewhere, or only if you have multiple files
in a folder.
