Questions and ideas for improvements

Open ToRoCu opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

First of all, the software is fantastic, something I have been looking for a long time.

I have a few questions and also a few ideas for improvements.

First of all, the questions:

  • How can I delete user accounts?
  • Where can I find a description of the API + token, I read in the Kodi topic that there is one?
  • Are series that are set to “Finished” and later get a new season automatically set back to “Planned”?

now to the ideas to make the tool even better:

  • for TV shows it would be great to have a view where you can see which episode you watched last and which one is coming next
  • a possibility to add the playtime via API to a movie or series
  • add the possibility that user “a” can edit the watchlist of user “b” e.g. add, remove (triggers a delete notification), rating and so on (must be allowed in the profile settings)
  • Combine content that belongs together e.g. Fast & Furious, Lord of the Rings, Mission Impossible and so on and display as a collection

Thank you for your effort for this tool, which finally allows me to manage my library quickly and intuitively.

Hey @ToRoCu, thank you for opening this and thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you have found usefulness out of Watcharr!

Questions:

  1. Currently we don't have functionality for deleting accounts sadly: #473 (i should probably get on this, but a lot other concerns have seemed to risen above it recently).
  2. Sadly I haven't found a good way to document our API in a non-tedious way (automated), so It's currently very non-documented. There is also no api token functionality, I believe the Kodi plugin creates a JWT token by asking the user for their login credentials and uses that for subsequent api calls. (There is a PR for this, which I'm not sure has been completed, but should give a base for api token support #379).
  3. This is also not supported, but something I do plan on adding once we have better content updating jobs set up on the server, which will enable this type of functionality.

I like your ideas too, I would like to get them in at some point too (if you are able, a new issue for each feature with a little more detail on how you'd like them to work, would be great for tracking them and for implementation too).

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey @IRHM and thanks for the quick reply.

I'll have a look at the Kodi addon maybe I can get it to start first.

I will try the days to make individual issues for the most important topics for me including description.
