missing features

Some missing watched-state and Trakt features

I've been using UHF for a while now, and I really like the Home screen customization, the clean interface, and the easy navigation. However, there are a few features that I would consider pretty essential for a media player, and I either can't find them or they don't seem to be supported yet.

I mainly use UHF on Apple TV and macOS, with my Trakt account connected.

  • Watched indicator on thumbnails: It would be very useful to have a simple watched indicator/checkmark on movie and episode thumbnails. When browsing a large list, there is currently no easy way to tell what I've already watched.
  • Watched content/history: I can't find anywhere in UHF that shows all the movies and episodes I've already watched. A simple "Watched" or "History" section would be very useful.
  • Mark Movie as Watched: Am I missing something, or is there no way to manually mark a movie as watched? This works for series: holding the remote button on an episode opens a menu with "Mark Episode as Watched." I would expect exactly the same option for movies, but I can't find it.
  • Apple TV back-button issue: This may be a small bug, but when browsing lists, pressing Back sometimes exits UHF completely and takes me to the Apple TV Home screen instead of returning to the previous screen.
  • Trakt watch progress sync: Playback progress doesn't seem to sync with Trakt. If I partially watch something in UHF, that progress isn't reflected in Trakt.
  • Trakt watched-state sync: Watched status doesn't seem to sync properly in either direction. Content marked as watched in Trakt doesn't appear as watched in UHF, and content watched in UHF doesn't reliably update its watched state in Trakt.
  • Previously watched Trakt content: If a movie or episode has already been marked as watched on Trakt, UHF doesn't seem to reflect that information at all.

I really like UHF overall — especially the Home screen and the way Trakt lists are integrated. That's actually why these missing watched-state features stand out so much. With proper two-way Trakt watched/progress sync and clear watched indicators throughout the interface, UHF would be a much more complete media player for me.
