Most popular today - harrenkyym - 2024-01-16 Hey, guys. I don't know if this has been proposed before, but I've had this idea for a long time. I know many of us are always trying to pursuade our fathers or siblings to use Jellyfin instead of many other services much more "user friendly". Because we, as admins, we know how everything works, what content do we have, etc. But for example, my family doesn't use it because they feel that Jellyfin is rough. They end up using Netflix watching a shit from the "popular today" list. Here goes my idea: Why don't we grab some lists (most popular films, most popular series) from here: - https://www.imdb.com/chart/moviemeter/ - https://www.imdb.com/chart/tvmeter/ - https://tvtime.com/ (and any other site, I don't know) then we try to match the first item with any file in our DB (via IMDB id, via name+year, I don't know). If we have it, that would be the #1 in our list, if we don't we would skip that item until there is a match between an item of the list and a file we own. That way we could make our own custom top 10 popular movies today. (It would be even cooler if we could set a custom number of movies in the list). Something like that: EXTRA: That same idea would give us the possibility of creating many other cool categories . Like "Awards". For example, we could get the list of movies nominated to the Critics Choice Awards (https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000133/2024/1/) or the Golden Globes (https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000292/2024/1) and check for all of them, so the main menu sort the list of the ones we got in our Jellyfin. For that purpose I'm thinking... it would be cool if Jellyfin had the option to create a custom list for the main menu focused on Awards and we could introduce the imdb link of the awards we want to have on our main menu (Oscars, Golden Globes, Sundance, Independent Spirit, Cannes, San Sebastian, Cesar, Goya, etc.) and Jellyfin would check if we have any of the movies on our drives. I don't know. I'm just letting my mind dream a little bit about what could we do to really enjoy Jellyfin. And honestly, I don't think it's something very very very complicated to do. RE: Most popular today - tmsrxzar - 2024-01-16 honestly not a terrible idea, i did an addon for kodi that does similar using trakt api as a backend, pull the trending https://trakt.tv/movies/trending, filter to "owned" titles could be easily ported to a server side script that generates a collection xml file then you have a "trending" collection with no required integration with jellyfin RE: Most popular today - tmsrxzar - 2024-01-16 btw make sure you've added your request to https://features.jellyfin.org and make sure there isn't already one
