Feature Requests

You clearly get a lot of requests for builders, but what about circumventing a bunch of those requests by making a "custom" builder flow. I'm not entirely certain what this would look like, but if I could author my own python code to take in some arbitrary URL and output whatever data Kometa expects programmatically that would give a lot of flexibility to users In my case, I want to scrape https://www.oscarsdeathrace.com/ and make a collection/add to radarr automatically. It's the kind of request I doubt you'd do because the oscars default exists, but this would be "pre-oscars" list which is key, I want to get these predictions early so I can get a head start. I'd perfectly happy to write the scraper myself, but incorporating it into the kometa flow is the tricky part. I'm sure there's countless other users who would feel comfortable with authoring their own builders too

Would love to have the genres as an overlay on the posters for both movies and TV shows

Trakt's popular/trending charts are not including the tvdb in their API responses. It's unclear at this point in time if this is a mistake with their API that will be reverted or not. In either cast, Trakt does include tmdb and imdb ids, when available, in their API responses. The Trakt builders should not rely exclusively on the tvdb id, but fallback to the tmdb or imdb id when available. That'd make the software much more resilient and capable when Trakt's API responses are missing one or more of the external IDs.

My specific use case is that I'm currently tagging shows in sonarr when they show up in a chart collection, eg. 'chart-tmdb-trending'. I'd like to also tag the show with something like 'charted-2025-11', ie. the current year and month, so that I'll be able to easily see how long it's been since a show appeared on a chart. I can imagine other use cases, though, for embedding the current date in a collection title or description. I'd think allowing for a strftime string would be the most useful and flexible, if that would be possible.

It would be awesome to see support for simkl and their API similar to Trakt. https://simkl.com/

I believe this is a planned feature, but it hasn't been formally requested. The ability to apply operations and overlays to items added in the last day (for example) so that incremental overlay/operations can be applied rather than having to update each item on each run. I believe there are also plans to split operations (and potentially overlays) to make them apply in batches. For example: Monday: Apply operations/overlays to items starting A-G Tuesday: Apply operations/overlays to items starting H-M Wednesday: Apply operations/overlays to items starting N-S Thursday: Apply operations/overlays to items starting T-Z

Like Trakt, it would be useful to sync the ratings from a specific Letterboxd user account. Rating is already used for list builders. Perhaps it is possible to leverage the same data from the user profile. eg. https://letterboxd.com/$USER/films/

I have stumbled upon a GitHub page of a plex employee where he has created a bunch of plex scripts, which improve the plex experience. One of his script has an option to merge multiple episodes into one in plex even after following the plex mutli episode naming patter. Here are links to refer to Git of the plex employee The Multi Episode Code which this feature is referring to Here’s an example using the Sponge Bob Collection. Usually, the case S02E01-E02 ——> This in plex will result in two separate episodes but plex will not separate the video files as will also not mark the episodes as watch for both the episodes even though there in the first episode in plex where you have watched both the episodes, plex will not mark the second episode in their watch history as marked. using the script from the link above will result in S02E01-E02 ——> This will result in plex combining the two separated episodes into one including the naming of each episodes by append with a “/“ in between. And watching a single file will result in plex marking as both the episodes as watched. Original Github Request

Could you create the ability to do an incremental tag/overlay of only new files so a full tagging of entire library is not needed. This would only update new files added to the library.

When using IMDb (potentially others) as the source for ratings and overlays, seasons do not have a rating as there is no source rating on those websites. A workaround for this would be to average the ratings of the episodes within the season to produce the season rating.
