Folders to help sorting the Library

Open skal-dB opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Problem For different reasons, you may want to sort your Library in a more personal/efficient way, In my case, the catalog with community plugins is so impressive that Stremio starts to be my first search engine for torrents and the Library as a Watch List.

Wich leads to an issue : my Library is huge. So, long story short : I'd like to put aside some contents based on different criteria, ie :

  • new seasons that are not fully released
  • series that will have a next season but not before a while
  • licence with a lot of related content (Marvel, Star Wars, LOTR, Batman ...)
  • issues with subtitles, need to find them elsewhere and use VLC
  • public domain
  • not enough source to be streamed, but could be downloaded with the magnet link (if available, see #249 #280 and other similar requests)
  • ...

Also, I've seen different request with different sorting capabilities (based on duration, IMDB rating, etc... #338)

Solution Requested Here is an idea of what I'd like :

1/ being able to create folders 2/ being able to add content to X or Y folder 3/ from the the Dashboard, the Catalog, and the Library with a right-click (+sub menu showing created Folders and an option to make a new one)

4/ Once I'm in my Library, I'd be able to filter content based on folders. Here are some exemples :

No Filter image

One Filter image

Two Filters (or more) image

Describe alternatives you've considered Hashtags or labels àla Gmail may be an alternative, but I feel like folders is the most simple thing to use.

Also, if displaying unlimited folders is an issue, the amount of folders one may create + the max character you can use for their names can be limited (ie: 8 folders max, 16 characters max - that's what I did with my screenshots)
