Set release date as default
Could you please add a setting in Simkl to set the release date as the default? I’m coming from Trakt, which have an option to set the release date as default, but I couldn’t find this setting in Simkl. I can only set the release date by going into the details of a show.

Header / navigation bar order
Something that always frustrates me with Simkl's layout.
This is present across the website, app, and profiles. The ordering of the types of media don't really make logical sense.
The order is currently: TV -> Anime -> Movies
Movies and TV are both formats and dictate how content is consumed and have the widest appeal. Both are more linked to "people" than "animation."
Movies are the largest requiring more of a commitment for a sitting (larger format).
TV shows are episode chunks (smaller format).
Anime isn't really a format, but a style. A very popular style, which doesn't fit neatly…

Previously watched movies/TV
I have watched thousands of movies and shows over the years. At the moment when I mark something as watched it shows the date watched as the date I marked it I believe. Could we have a generic "watched in the past but date not known" type entry to allow for this situation? Going forwards I am marking shows as I watch them of course. Many thanks.
1 voteYou can set the date of movies and episodes (in Manage Watch History) to Very long time ago \don't remember.

Add REAL support for MPV and MPV.NET to SIMKL for Windows
Hi, how are you?
First of all, thanks for such a nice platform to use, i really like it.
Now, to my reason of getting in contact with you,
I use a lot of the apps you have available in the site, and i noticed that MPV player and MPV.Net are not getting the tracking recognition. I used to use vlc, but i discovered mpv a year ago and the expansive characterisic of it really got me.
So, i would love if you added support to MPV player and MPV net (that is a fork with a lot of settings…
1 voteWhen using the older Windows Tracker, one option is to rename the video player to vlc.exe.
Another newer solution - you can use Simkl MPS for more media player support options https://github.com/ByteTrix/Media-Player-Scrobbler-for-Simkl

Hide watched (not completed) shows
I have a large collection of shows that I have seen all of the episodes of, but that have not finished airing. They take up too much space on-screen and keep me from seeing all of the stuff I still have to watch.
1 voteIn V2 Beta, there's an option to hide all shows where your progress is 100% for aired episodes. These filters can be saved in a custom layout.

Option for Episode Number Formatting
Hello SIMKL Team,
I’d like to request a feature for the Calendar and other views that display TV episode numbers. Currently, episodes show in the format “S:01 – Ep:01”. Would it be possible to add an option for users to choose the compact style “S01E01” instead?
This would make it easier to line up with common naming conventions used in media libraries (e.g., Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) and improve readability.
Thank you for considering this — it would be a really useful enhancement!
Kind regards,

Add option to mark Episodes/Season watched before US airdate.
There are shows around the world that air long before the US does.
For example https://simkl.com/tv/1384852/family-law aired season 3 in jan 2024 in canada and a couple months after that in the UK. i have watched the whole season but i can't set it as watched as it is only now (2025) airing in the US.
It also means i can't filter it out of my watchlist when i click "hide watched".
This happens with a lot of shows from around the world.
3 votesYou can set episodes that have not yet been broadcasted directly inside the episodes themselves. On the desktop version in tv show summary we show the next date when it will broadcast, but you can still go into the episode itself to mark it as watched.

Always show mouse-over tool-tip with show name on any graphisc poster
Some lists do not include a show name beside the poster.
Example: go to TV (or Anime) -> Premieres.
The page shows horizontal rows of posters without any text, no show names. And posters are a graphic pictures, they may contain a show name, but often either a) the text is too small to read; b) text in the image is so distorted (in the name of the artist creativity) that it is impossible to understand, c) the poster is just an image without any show name at all. (This is especially true for anime posters.) Thus, if the poster…3 votesV2 Beta has many different views, in Poster view you can hide, show titles under or inside posters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5rOhlEvll8

Make simkl open-source on Github
Making Simkl open-source on GitHub would provide a new opportunity for developers to enhance the platform more efficiently through pull requests. Simkl has some community developers who are interested in improving the code and introducing new features, should they have the time. Having the code for the website, app, and extension available as open-source would be invaluable.
3 votesSimkl has a full API for developers at https://api.simkl.com. Some of the Simkl projects are also available on github https://github.com/SIMKL in addition to other open source apps from other developers who utilise the API.

Strange issue where %TMDB% does not work for anime movies.
The TMDB variable is blank on anime movie pages, while the IMDB and ANILIST variables are functioning as intended. I hope this is a quick and easy fix, with no complications at all. I am referring to the Watch Online Links section.
Note: This only occurs on firefox/chromium desktop version of the website.

Movies Auto Lists always open with Filters shown (expanded) by default
Unlike auto lists created for TV Shows or Anime, a Movies auto list is always loaded with the filters shown (expanded) by default. This is in contrast to auto lists for TV Shows and Anime which always load with the filters sidebar hidden (collapsed).
Thanks.
3 votesWhen there are a lot of titles, we show filters in all lists by default. For smaller lists where there is no need to filter anything, we hide the filters automatically.
