Being able to filter movie lists by director, writer, producer, star etc
For example, if I want to see which directors are most represented in the movies I've watched, and from there I can work out which movies of theirs I haven't seen yet

Make Custom Lists public permanently so we don’t still have to use other apps like Letterboxd, Serializd, TV Time etc
If it’s buggy that’s fine for now. Free days of Pro can be unlocked so they’re available anyways but it should be permanent. Otherwise we’ll have to import all these lists from different apps when it’s made public on Simkl. And with Letterboxd planning to introduce TV Shows to their app this year, you may miss the chance to show you’re the best all-in-one media tracker/rater. Which is why I’d also suggest making the V2 layout/look public soon too and get a better friend/feed style. Then allow 0-100 rating system and you’re pretty much perfect

Optimizing Streaming Subscriptions: Tailoring Your Choices to Your Watchlist
Notifying which streaming service to subscribe to (Netflix, Disney, etc) based on watchlist planning.
For - streaming membership expense management.
More Context
Rather than relying on the abundance of streaming apps available, consider a different approach. How about a service that advises users on which streaming platforms to subscribe to and which to cancel based on their watchlist? For instance, it could recommend subscribing to Netflix this month because two shows with all episodes released are available, and then suggest canceling other subscriptions next month if the desired shows aren't on those platforms or haven't completed their season. The goal…4 votes -
Being able to manually modify the identification on kodi
Hello, I use the simkl tracker on kodi so I don't have to do it manually
However I have several anime (for example initial d, city hunter etc.) which are not right in the identification
For example for season 2 of initial d given that on simkl it is considered as a second series and not there sequel while on kodi it is considered as the sequel, the tracker cannot find what it corresponds to
I would therefore like to know if it was possible to add an option to the Kodi tracker to manually select if desired which series…

Episode Count Improvements
UK TV shows often air specials, especially Christmas Specials. Since they're not part of any season, these specials do not count toward the show's episode count. But they should!
The specials on TVDB used to be a mess, but have recently been organized and categorized. Any special listed as an "Episodic Special" is a valid episode of the show, and should be counted in the show's episode count.
Furthermore, Unassigned Episodes are currently counted, but shouldn't be!

TV Show Type
Lists V2 allows selections based on TV Show Type. The listed show types are TV Series, Animation, Entertainment, Documentary and Youtube. What's the source of this show type?
I basically only want to see scripted shows. Even when I only select TV Series, and exclude all other types, Australian sports show Formula 1 (amazingly ranked #16 all time) is still displayed. So are variety shows like The Carol Burnett Show. If I scrolled down far enough, even reality TV shows may be listed.
While the idea is great, the underlying info sucks. Please consider extracting the show type from TV…

Sync with Plex Watchlist
Now that Plex has fully released its Discover feature I find myself using its Watchlist a lot to mark things that I plan to watch. It would be great if that could be imported to Simkl. And if possible (but I imagine difficult) also sync the other way, from Simkl to Plex's Watchlist.
I'm aware that Plex does not have an "official" API, but the endpoints exist and quite a few apps already use them. Overseerr for example has Watchlist integration as well: https://github.com/sct/overseerr/blob/be047427df62e480fc9b69cb93258837ed72bcf4/server/api/plextv.ts#L263.

Display IMDB episode and season ratings
When listing seasons and episodes of a show, display ratings from IMDB for each episode and each season. Rating episodes and seasons on Simkl would be great too, but this seems like a much easier thing to implement that would meet half the need: answering the question of which episodes to skip!

Add individual episodes to Plan to Watch
It would be nice to have the ability to add individual episodes to my "Plan to Watch" instead of having to add an entire series.
For example, I'm interested in seeing a few episodes from House Hunters International, but this show has over 150 seasons. I'm only interested in a couple episodes so adding the show to my list isn't helpful, but right now I'm having to keep track of those episodes elsewhere.

You can use Private memo to keep up with seasons numbers you want to watch in this show

Notification when TV Series ends or is resurrected
When the final episode of a TV Series airs, or when a TV series is cancelled, its status changes from Continuing to Ended (on TVDB and on Simkl). Inversely, when a TV Series that was considered to have ended, is rebooted or resurrected, the status changes from Ended back to Continuing. In both cases, it would be very helpful to receive a notification of such a major event in the lifecycle of a show.
Since Simkl has already implemented notifications, adding a notification when the status of a TV Series changes (from Continuing to Ended or vice versa) should be…

Auto update new seasons of completed/watching anime into my watch list.
Just like how when tv shows release new seasons simkl auto combines them and informs you there's new episodes to watch.
Currently with anime I get no notifications new seasons are out and it doesn't automatically go into my watch list.

Skip a season of a show
There are some anthology series out there of reality shows with every season a new cast. Sometimes a season just didn't is good or I want to skip that season.
Ofcourse you can mark that season as watched without watching it, but a skip season but still watching the show feature would be kinda neat, because I don't have to mark something as watched I didn't watched.
Dropped is no option because I want to skip only a season (So maybe a drop a season feature?)16 votes -
Widgets on phone app
Widgets for calendars would be very cool. That way, you can see your calendar from your phone without looking at the app itself. TV Time has similar widgets, and I would love to see this from Simkl.
