I posted about this a while back in the general forums, I guess it should really be here in the wishes and new features.
I'd like the ability to completely disable the updating of the last play and the play count entirely. I am able to sort of turn it off with setting a high HistoryDelay, but that seems to have an automatic setting that you can't turn off, where it still will update the last play and play count when you play 90% of a song. Even if you set HistoryDelay to something way higher than the song's total length.
It's still a bit annoying having to remember to never let a whole song play when I'm playing around with music. Having to randomly stop/start every song at some point in order to prevent it from updating the last play on me.
Setting to readOnly isn't a great option, because I like to add/remove cue points, change tags, add new songs to my collection, etc while I'm playing around with the music.
I've got a custom button set up to change between a short and a long HistoryDelay that I've been continuing to use. But really I'd rather have a custom button that turns off the updating of the history entirely, or have a flag to turn off the auto update at 90% of the song length feature. It's annoying for my workflow, I never want any song to update the history unless I'm playing it live for an audience. So I can keep track of which ones I've actually played for people, and cycle them out of the rotation for a while to keep my sets fresh. I don't care if I played a song while planning a playlist and then decided not to include it in that playlist. I want that song's last played to still be at the last time that I played it for an audience.

Never mind, I never read your post fully. was going to suggest readOnly but you've mentioned it already.

You scripted a button to modify your settings, you might as well go a step further and make a little powershell or bash script that will monitor / purge your history and database unless you toggle it off.

Maybe you could script a custom button to writeHistory YES/NO.

There is a setting for this: writeHistory
It will disable the history AND the play count
You can also put it to a custom button:
You can also put it into the oninit mapping area of the controller, then it will just count, if the controller is connected
It will disable the history AND the play count
You can also put it to a custom button:
setting writeHistory 1? setting writeHistory 1:setting writeHistory 0

I did try setting the "WriteHistory" flag to No, which prevents the Play Count from going up. But it still lets the Last Play be updated, and that still happens at 90% of the song length no matter what you set the HistoryDelay to. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it to not update the Last Play field at all, that you can toggle off.
I also tried setting HistoryDelay to -1 to try to turn it off entirely, but it behaves the same as if you set it to 0.

Maybe that's just a bug with WriteHistory=No though, and it's something that can be fixed by the devs?

I can confirm:
If you switch off writeHistory, then:
Play count will be disabled
History list will be disabled
Writing last play tag will not be disabled
Only the developers could change this.

Right, I'd like for the Last Play to not be updated as well, unless I toggle it back on before doing a live set.

Hope they will be a separated settings, because not writing history is one thing, play count & last played is another one
switch off "writeHistory" then:
History list will be disabled
Play count will stay untouched (updated depending on "updatePlayStats")
Last played will stay untouched (updated depending on "updatePlayStats") Writing to tag following "setTagsAuto"
switch off "updatePlayStats" then:
History list will stay untouched (written or not depending on "writeHistory" )
Play count will be disabled
Last played will be disabled
switch off "writeHistory" then:
History list will be disabled
Play count will stay untouched (updated depending on "updatePlayStats")
Last played will stay untouched (updated depending on "updatePlayStats") Writing to tag following "setTagsAuto"
switch off "updatePlayStats" then:
History list will stay untouched (written or not depending on "writeHistory" )
Play count will be disabled
Last played will be disabled
