@ArniVidar
Hmmm...I'll have to play around with that. I'm very bad at tagging my ebooks and other stuff, so tend to overlook this handy tool.

The key here - after decades of collecting books, movies and music in all sorts of formats and repeatedly failing at categorization - is to fight your natural tendency to over-think things.
I'd suggest you start with only three tags first, naming them however you please, but with this general design: "Watching Now", "To Watch Later" and "Dropped".

I've got the watching tag as default visible (and recently I've even begun sorting by latest episode aired, which is an interesting experiment), then I go to the todo list to decide on what to watch next and move those to the watching tag, and then I shove things into the Dropped list when I want to be rid of it. I then only use the Stop Tracking function for shows that are still airing, and would thus appear in the calendars and all such places on the site.

Aside from the main three, I've actually got a fourth main category of "Meh, maybe later", which is a step above Dropped. Sort of a semi-dropped. big_smile
Then I've got half a dozen other tags, but they're all additive/tertiary and outside the general idea of the 3/4 main categories. smile

There is quite a lot of negative - it's cluttering Episodes to watch with titles that I, in fact, do not want to watch.

I have hundreds of shows in my Episodes to watch, but I use the tags, and one of those tags is "Watching now". That tag is default on, and I never see any of the other shows unless I specifically click those tags. I've also got another tag for "Dropped" shows, that I never check. smile

@TeaAndApathy: Sounds like the tags could solve all of those problems for you.

Sounds to me like you're doubling on the function one can achieve by just clicking "Stop tracking".

No, because that moves it down to a giant list at the bottom of the tracking page, which I hate, and Dropped is only one of the states of being, so I'd need the tags anyway. smile

That's why i proposed way to hide that list wink

But I'm so good at overthinking things! And we all need a hobby, right?

I actually printed your instructions and will give them a try. Thank you!

What tag do you use (if at all) for shows that are currently airing and you are collecting, but not actively watching?

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

lol
When the hobby of collecting takes second seat to the hobby of sorting, you got a problem. big_smile

You're very welcome. As for the tag, for me it's simply that if I have yet to see it, it's a "To Watch Later". If I'm watching it, it's a "Watching Now".

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Can you please point to an example of a movie that should be showing up in your Calendar (and for which month/day) - and I'll investigate why it isn't.

Cheers!

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Mean Girls is on calendar 10/1/24, Bob Marley - One Love 10/1/24, The Beekeeper 11/1/24, Wanted Man 19/1/24 are a few from my movie list that don't show on calendar. I know it's only a new addition to the settings so it's no major deal. I can always check the movies from my list till you can check. Thank You for your quick response shows that you care about members.

Ah, ok great, thanks for providing that info.

Let me know if it's all good now smile

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

It appears to be working great. Movies are in now, once again man all prop to you on your work and keep it up, this is so much the best one of these type of database style information sites around. Once again thank you for your speedy response and fix.

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Hi,

It would be very useful if we could use tags in the (iOS) app, to filter the shows in the Episodes tab (or all tabs). That way I could filter out the shows I stopped watching and have not started watching yet.

I think I've suggested/asked it before, but I can't seem to find the posts about it. Anyway, if you could position it somehow in your roadmap that would be great!

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

yeah, it's in the TODO, will happen eventually smile

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

On the Schedule page, select "Shows from all channels"
The "All channels" drop-down has an rouge entry at the top.

At the moment, there is only the option to "Show all shows in the Calendar (don't filter it against my watchlist)"
It's in settings, under Calendar - https://next-episode.net/settings?action=calendar

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

I seem to be experiencing a bug with setting acquired status on movies. TV shows are working ok. Basically, when I click the acquired check box it doesn't save. I checked the console and get this message:

Uncaught ReferenceError: toggleAquired is not defined
    at HTMLInputElement.onclick (movies/:1004:135890)
onclick @ movies/:1004

Re: Features/Improvements Requests

Weird.

I just tested the functionality and it works.

Any chance you have a browser extension that is messing with the site code? If you have an adblocker or a privacy addon of some sort, can you temporarily turn it off so we see if it was messing it up?

Let me know

I just updated my browser and restarted and now all seems to be good. Sorry for the false report!

It was most likely uBlock origin (if you use that). They're extremely aggressive in updating their filters to block Next Epiosde anti adblock message these days and often break functionality (and fix it when reporting it).

Inside Job (2021) has two seasons, for some reason the site only has season 1.
