If you want to keep track of your watched media, Kodi gives you the option to set watched status marks. If you don't disable Kodi watched status logging, these will be logged automatically once you watch a movie or TV show. However, you might want to back up this information safely, in case your Kodi device fails or needs to be updated. One of the online services that let you back up this information to the cloud is the one provided by the Kodi MyEpisodes Addon. Using the MyEpisodes.com online service, this addon lets you mark TV show episodes as watched, and can synchronize the information of your watched media on Kodi with the MyEpisodes account you use, in pretty much the same way as most similar addons.

Install The Kodi Myepisodes Complement On Your Htpc And You Will Be Able To Keep Track Of Your Watched Tv Shows Automatically Online.
The Kodi MyEpisodes plugin is part of the list we presented some days ago, where the 7 best addons to backup Kodi watched status were introduced to our readers. Most of these addons back up this information online; it's easier to synchronize with an account in an online server on the cloud, than saving this information on a local network database. Still, if you want to keep this information locally, you could install MySQL on Ubuntu or an equivalent database in any other OS, and use an addon such as the Kodi WatchedList addon, which keeps the copy of your watched status marks on your local device or network. Having a local database will also allow you to setup Kodi MySql for sharing media library across all your Kodi devices, to keep them synchronized with each other.

A rather simple procedure, the Kodi MyEpisodes addon can be obtained from the official Kodi addon repository. This makes the installation easier, since this repository is included when you first install Kodi. To get it on your system, head to System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Install from repository. After that, look for the Kodi Add-on repository on the list that appears.
