Vod using external player movies not marked as played

[stan767]

I am using a xrs4500 box and when I set my video on demand to use external player (mx player) the movie is not marked as played after I watch it.

This is a problem for TV series as I need to remember which episodes I have already seen.

Any idea why this doesn't work.

Because it's an external app and not part of the buzz,software

Yes, but since Buzz software calls the external player, it could mark that movie or TV series as being watched.

So buzz would have to program in every external player and change their software every time they update their player.

Why not ask the player guys to change their software?

We have no way to detect if a movies been played on external player 

You can mark it played manually though.
