I'd like to be able to see which entries in a list that have been watched. Is that possible? I'm thinking like a checkmark emblem.

The YouTube addon has no problem with this in Kodi itself, but I can't find any way to enable it in the remote. Without it it's very difficult to make use of the remote to browse, and I always have to resort to the keyboard and the big screen.

Which list you are looking for to support this? The usual movie/musicvideo/album/tvshow/recording lists already allow to see this. For watched/listened items a white check mark is shown like in this example:

If you want to filter for watched/unwatched, you can tap on the movie/musicvideo/album/tvshow/recording icon again and toggle through all/watched/unwatched. Same works for the "recently added" icons in the movie/musicvideo/tvshow menus.

We have 2 reports that youtube search is not supported from the remote (#98). Is this the same for you, or you cannot use the youtube-addon at all?

The YouTube addon list.

I don't use YouTube search. The addon works fine for me.

Now I got it. All related to YouTube only, I initially understood these would be two separate topics.

Before I can looking to this -- I am not sure if the API provides the so-called "playcount" for YouTube lists -- I need to set up YouTube on my test system.
@kambala-decapitator, can you check this by chance?

I did a quick-n-dirty check and the Kodi API delivers "playcount=0" even though in the Kodi UI a certain video is shown as played. Doesn't seem like a quick fix and might required an update of Kodi itself.

Thanks for taking a look. That's unfortunate, I'm using an older Kodi version for reasons. Not much to be done in this repo then I guess.

The remote is potentially very handy for browsing YouTube channels anyway, but it's hard to compete with the checkmarks in the Kodi UI when watching episodes in order.

I asked about this in the forums. Maybe this can be added for future (Kodi and Remote app) versions, even though it will not help you with the existing Kodi setup.
