This comes in handy when you have a show you keep downloaded, but do not religiously watch every single episode that is downloaded. By marking everything watched, it will keep the show out of your OnDeck list inside Plex. Usage: Intended usage is to add the tak 'markwatched' to any show you want to have this behaviour. Then simply add this script to run on a schedule and you should be all set.
