Solved - Keeping track of what you've watched on your PC
Onoz:
Or you can just use Media Player Classics favorites function.

This is how everybody should be doing, and if you really like it, support the artist and buy the blueray/DVD. If it's meh then a fansub would do I guess.
How many Anime DVD's do I own you say?

Over nine one thousand. But the collector's instinct in me won't let me take the "delete upon watching" route, unless I really hate the show. That's also why I generally don't watch streams. Plus a lot of shows don't come out on R1 DVD/BD, and I'm not about to go paying obscene R2 prices + shipping for imports. At least not until the Japanese stop bitching about reverse importation of R1 discs to Japan. Actually, I will delete R1DVD-rips for shows I buy on DVD, since the files are just redundant at that point. However, I do keep fansubs around, since they offer different and sometimes better translation and presentation from what you get on DVD.
Besides, if everybody followed the "delete upon watching" principle, how would we have thriving BitTorrent trackers and communities like this one?

It's not that I delete the show entirely, though I'm not sure about the person you quoted. I just happen to copy my collection to an external HDD. I never watch anime directly from my external HDDs in hopes of letting them last as long as possible, so whenever I'm watching a show I have a copy of the episodes on my internal disk. As I watch it, I can easily delete the copies.
If I haven't taken the time to copy it to an external HDD and I start watching a show longer than 13 episodes, I'll usually make a subfolder and temporarily move the watched files there.

Tried XBMC 9.11. Nice-looking interface but difficult to navigate. Also, didn't detect any of my videos (.mkv).

I have a shortcut that opens that page in Chrome (using Chrome's 'application shortcuts' feature). On your own account, the page is easily updated via drop-down lists, no page refreshing whatsoever. That's the easiest system I've found yet.
If you're starting a new series, just do an A-P search for it, set it to watching and it'll appear in that page.

MAL has something similar, but having to navigate to a website to look up what episode you are on is annoying.
