Type of Enhancement
Web Interface/Frontend
Describe the Feature/Enhancement
As a user I would like to have a very clear UI that tells me which episodes have been played fully. Maybe grey out the episode when played to make it super obvious
Why would this be helpful?
Currently if his is already implemented it is not clear to me at all
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
Just great out episodes already played
Audiobookshelf Server Version
0.9.77 beta?
Current Implementation (Screenshot)

What screen in particular are you looking at?
On the home view, there is a green bar underneath the episode if it is completed the same way it is shown for books.
On the Latest tab, already played episodes are not displayed.
Individual podcasts only show unplayed episodes by default, but you can change this using the filter setting.
App:
Web client:
Edited for clarity and added web client screenshot even though this is specifically for the app, not the web client?
@brownphotographic commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2025):
Thanks for the response.
Ok, then technically it does do this, but to the user this is a little too subtle and easily missed.
For example the bar is very thin, and cannot be seen when the color of the podcast thumb is the same as the bar.
Also the green dot on the filter icon is super tiny. Why is it a filter icon anyway?
When the podcast is downloaded it shows a ✅. This is confusing.
Could I request...
I think this would make the UX a little more obvious.
Thanks

Can I reopen this issue? The reopen is greyed out.

@nichwall commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2025):
Can you explain how episodes not being shown when they are completed is more confusing? A screenshot of where you are finding this confusing would be helpful, we are having to guess what you mean.
The reason for the green checkmark is to make it consistent with the download status with audiobook libraries.
It is a filter icon because it's a filter for what episodes are shown.
@brownphotographic commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2025):
Thanks for the response. To clarify...
What I see..
When downloaded, download symbol changes to check mark. This is confusing
because I look at it and think I've played the episode. This checkmark
appears in both home and latest views.
When played, the bar does turn green but it is very thin. If I am driving
it is v difficult to see at a glance. Too subtle.
When played in the latest view, Finished appears in grey font next to a
green play symbol. The green play symbol appears next to both played and
not played episodes. At a glance I am looking for symbology first, words
second.
Suggestion (of course this is subjective and just an idea).
... When not downloaded show white download symbol. When downloaded show
green download symbol (not ✅). Show in both latest and home.
... When not played show white ▶️ symbol. When played show green play
symbol. Show in both latest and home.

That icon is commonly used to represent downloaded and I don't think we want to include a regular download icon on the cover since users would think clicking it would start a download.
