This looks cool but I was thrown by how the heatmaps were organized; having seasons as rows and episodes as columns would be more natural to me.

Feel free to open up an issue on GitHub, maybe we introduce an option on how heatmaps are shown :)

It is so strange to me when people get downvoted for suggesting a possible solution is to volunteer some effort. HN is all about open source until someone mentions creating a PR or even just a simple issue. Is this forum the definitive spot for complaining about software?

Filing an issue on GitHub is the correct thing to do. It has higher visibility for a longer period of time than a hacker news comment and is more likely to resolve the issue while wasting less time of the maintainer's and anyone else using the software.

edit: It seems you've been upvoted back to normal. Ignore me.

My personal thoughts; When there are quite a few well-established media storage/player solutions/toolings, you should look into starting your marketing page with why you are different or better than the others. Most reasons for people moving between tools is the lack of the features in the ones that users are using and hoping it is in the new one. Of course, if you can get a lot of testimonials then that should work…

I can't wait until he's so successful that he abandons all of his original users/customers, and tries to become some sort of third tier streaming solution that can only license movies that used to be completely unknown outside of Walmart "2 DVDs for $5" bargain bins.

this made me chuckle, yes, it's not gonna happen :D

Would it be possible to import titles as a text list, instead of requiring files?

I'm not a hoarder, but I do have a (very) long Excel file of movies and documentaries that I want to watch or have already watched. Most of them are available on streaming sites or for rent/download on demand.

You've got a great IMDb scraper and filtering UI. That's all I really need! :)

Still based on files, however, Media Hoarder doesn't care if you feed it 0-byte files. So yes, you can export your Excel file as such.

Actually, I do use 0-byte files in my tests and demos. They are artificially created in the following way: https://github.com/theMK2k/media-hoarder-testset-generator

I just _refreshed_ my setup replacing my shield and trying to get Emby and Kodi working together… This looks great especially since I have complete collections of various sci if stuff I loved growing up (Star Trek: TNG, Star Gate). The big thing for me is how this supports sitting on the couch and looking for something to watch.

I've been using Jellyfin on Windows server (Arc GPU) for server, Shield for client, it's been working pretty well. What hardware are you using?

This really needs some explanation, in text, of what it's actually doing and what media means here.

Literally the first sentence is "Media Hoarder is THE frontend for your Movie and TV Series collection if you love metadata, filter abilities and easy management." and secondly there is a huge screenshot below that with everything you need to understand.

Not sure how it can be made any more clear than what it is?
