A few small new site features

Sun Apr 21, 2024 - A few small new site features

Here is a list of a few new features I recently enabled on the site that I think deserve mentioning:

You can now Filter shows in the Episodes page
In your watchlist, if you sort by "my rating" - you now see your own ratings as well
In show details, when an alternative title is available - it's noted under the description, for example: Money Heist

Let me know if these work well for you.

It gets better and better, thanks. This is what a media website should be like.

Good stuff.

Love the 'my rating' sorting. Solves the problem of someone asking about what's on a streaming service that's good and me being like 'uhhhhh, i know there was something.' The other two features will be helpful too.

I appreciate all three of the features, and especially filtering on the Episodes page. I can quickly locate the series I want to view or update. Thanks.

That Episodes Filter is phenomenal. I love instant-applying filters. Some of my tags lists are suuuper long, and I have to scroll way down when I'm looking for something specific, so this will be a huge improvement for my workflow.

As for the alternative title stuff, will you apply that to all the anime, for example? All of the anime obviously has both English and Japanese titles, and it would be good to be able to search for both.

Oh, and will you add a secondary title field to the Request a show form?

Oh, P.P.S: You want to set a rule for which title is the main and which is the alternative?
Like, Money Heist now has La Casa de Papel (Spanish) as a main title, and some of the anime has the Japanese title as the main, while other anime has the English title as main. It's kinda disjointed, so I wonder if some rules would be good here.

Another reason to rate shows!

@ArniVidar - will not use the secondary title field as (pretty much) nobody will use it, but everyone can always suggest alternative titles for shows through the "contact us" link or in the forums.

The rule is to always try and use the original title, but sometimes it's not available when I add a show. Also, sometimes the English title is so much more popular than the original one, that it makes sense to use it as the main one.

I constantly add new alternative titles to shows (when I notice we don't have them), so you guys don't hesitate to suggest alternative titles as well!

Filter shows in the Episodes page, is brilliant and will help me reduce the number of tags I have

I appreciate the new features you add and I thankyou for the site and maintaining it. it does what it says on the tin, and that is rare now so again , thankyou.

please accept this comment/criticism it is not a slight on you or your work. I hope you find it useful.

The splash page that comes up forcing you to open the notifications page. please add the option of a remind you on next login. or to force that splashscreen to open notification's in a new tab/window, instead of in the current tab. it is not enjoyable being forced to view them when you just want to quickly check something and move on. and maybe check back on them later.

Not sure if you have ever heard of or seen this app (it is discontinued). It was called Discovr movies it was an iOS app during the iphone 5 run.
It had this "spider web" interface where it connected different movies by strands of that web. They could be based on the actors, director etc or based on category and themes of the movie. I have been searching for an old copy of it to run in an emulator or something to figure out how it all worked. but this idea has stuck with me and I can't think of another site that could deploy something like that, other than this one. I hope this inspires you in some way.
