MediaVault

MediaVault

An Obsidian plugin for tracking movies and TV shows: reviews and rewatches (with full rating history that's never overwritten), episode-by-episode progress, custom lists and favorites, a discovery/Explore page, TV Time GDPR / Trakt import and sync, cast and filmography browsing, notifications for new releases, mood-based "comfort media" recommendations, and a full analytics dashboard. Built for desktop, Android, and iOS, with all data stored directly inside your vault.

Features

• Library: TMDB-backed search/add, grid/list/table views, filters, sort, pagination
• Favorites & Lists: favorites carousel, built-in favorite-movies/favorite-series smart lists, custom lists with manual/automatic sorting and drag-to-reorder
• Explore: TMDB discovery page (trending/popular/recommended), shared card rendering with Recommendations
• Partially Watch: You can mark a movie as partially watched, similar to a TV show, and record the point where you stopped watching
• Reviews: unlimited watch sessions per title, rating-evolution chart, full timeline
• TV tracking: season/episode hierarchy, batch mark-watched, favorite episodes, season/episode rewatch tracking, dropped-show workflow with resume support
• Cast & Filmography: cast tab, actor details with biography, filmography browsing with preview-before-import
• Import: TV Time GDPR ZIP export (watch history, ratings, reviews, favorites, custom lists, dropped/archived status), CSV, and JSON, with dry-run preview, per-file diagnostics, and safe re-import
• Trakt sync: OAuth, bi-directional history/rating sync, public and personal comments, generated history note
• Notifications: new episode/season/movie alerts with a baseline date (install/import time) so existing history never generates a backlog of "new" notifications
• Notes: auto-generated per-title markdown notes with frontmatter, safely regenerated without ever touching what you write in them
• Analytics: genre/actor/studio breakdowns, watch trends, calendar heatmap
• Comfort Finder: mood-based filtering (energy, attention, heaviness, tags) with presets
• Recommendations: TMDB discovery scored against your taste, plus comfort-based picks from your own library
• i18n: English and Turkish, with all UI strings routed through a shared locale system
• Theme Support: MediaVault automatically detects themes installed in Obsidian, giving you hundreds of themes to choose from. Some themes may not be fully compatible with the plugin.

MediaVault Setup Roadmap

Follow these steps to get MediaVault up and running in Obsidian.

1. Install MediaVault

Install MediaVault from the Obsidian Community Plugins:

• Open Settings → Community plugins

2. Create a TMDB API Key

MediaVault uses TMDB to fetch movie and TV show information.

1. Create a TMDB account if you don't have one.
2. Create an API key from your TMDB account.
3. Copy your TMDB API key.

3. Add Your TMDB API Key to MediaVault

In Obsidian:

Settings → MediaVault → TMDB API Key

Paste the API key you copied from TMDB into the input field.

4. (Optional) Set Up Trakt

If you want to:

• View your Trakt comments
• Post comments to Trakt

you'll also need to create a Trakt API application.

1. Go to Trakt.
2. Create an API application.
3. Copy your Client ID (Access Key) and Client Secret (Secret Key).
4. Open Settings → MediaVault in Obsidian.
5. Paste both keys into their corresponding fields.

Note: Trakt setup is optional. You only need it if you want to use MediaVault's Trakt-related features.

5. Import Your GDPR Export

Once MediaVault is configured, you can import your data.

Open the Obsidian command palette:

• Desktop: Press Ctrl/Cmd + P
