Looking for Software to Track Watched Shows (reddthat.com)

Is there software that tracks movies and TV shows I've watched and lets me manually add them to my library?

I use Jellyfin, but it lacks this feature. I'm looking for a solution that allows me to create placeholders for shows or seasons I've watched elsewhere, without having to download or create empty MP4 files.

It would be even better if this software integrates with Jellyfin.

It may be "easy" to edit the names, but unless it's a one-time universal toggle, that'd be a dealbreaker to me.

    You can always join one of the mainly English instances like Eggplant.place or ReviewDB or host your own. But as long as the majority of NeoDB.social users are Chinese, the dominant language there won't change.

    OTOH it's easy to use the API - so, instead of doing it manually, I'm tempted to write a small tool that you can throw a link to a movie or show at and it'll change all Chinese actor names to their English counterparts.

    I think there may be an issue with language support here. It seems that once a movie is fetched and stored on the instance, the metadata stays permanent. It would be easier if every item were tracked using a universal identifier, such as IMDb.

    Items are tracked using IDs. But if a movie was imported from Douban, NeoDB only knows the Douban ID. Same with IMDb. However, since TheMovieDB records often have IMDb IDs as well, it’ll import both identifiers if you import from there.

    And there’s a feature to merge duplicate imports into one. This will make that resulting record available under all the different IDs.
