I have a few shows like the Daily Show I’ll sometimes watch the monologue but not the full episode.
Plex has a setting to “Keep unwatched episodes” which will delete never-watched episodes, and another to “delete X days after viewing” for fully-watched episodes. But if an episode is partially watched, neither applies and it just sits there.
This seems like a weird oversight and I am wondering if there’s a setting I’m missing. I can’t be the first person who wants “delete 7 days after adding regardless of anything else”
I wonder if maintainerr would do what you’re looking for.
You could manually mark the episode as watched after watching the monologue.
But the question was if this could be done not manually.
I don’t think so.
There is an option for the % of the episode you need to watch for it to be condidered “watched”, but the lowest it goes is to 70%. Maybe you could edit the config to set it to a lower value. But of course that would mess up shows you actually want to partially and resume later.

Yeah I thought about that. Crazy that plex over complicated this. Every podcast player in the world has a “delete after X days” feature.
I’m beginning to see a lot of shortcomings from Plex these last years … Might try jellyfin as an alternative.
Very sad development.
Jellyfin has even less features.
But its getting more not less
