Manual: watchlist titles that aren't in the library yet #63

Closed

Description

@Quick104

Silo now keeps movies and series on a profile's watchlist before the library
has them. The manual's watchlist, requests and poster badge pages don't
describe this. Server change: Silo-Server/silo-server#1711. It is merged.

Pages to update:

  • Watchlist. The watchlist page has two tabs, "In your library" and "Not in
    your library yet". The second lists titles added from Discover that the
    library doesn't have. They can't be played. When one arrives, it moves to
    "In your library", keeping the date it was added. A title that TMDB lists
    twice shows "TMDB lists it twice", and one TMDB no longer lists shows "No longer
    listed on TMDB". Both have a "Find it" link to search for the title again. Keeping
    these titles needs requests enabled on the server. While requests are off,
    existing entries are kept but can't be listed, added or removed.
  • Discover. A title page and its poster cards have an "Add to Watchlist"
    button, which shows "On Watchlist" once added.
  • Requests, for users. By default, adding a title the library doesn't have
    to the watchlist also requests it, or follows someone else's request for it,
    and the user is notified when it arrives. A profile can turn this off in
    Settings › Requests with "Request titles I add to my watchlist". Removing the
    title from the watchlist cancels a request the watchlist made, as long as it
    hasn't been sent to a download server yet.
  • Requests, for admins. Admin Settings › Requests has "Request titles added
    to a watchlist" (on by default). Turn it off to stop watchlist adds from
    making requests; entries are still kept. The request queue marks these
    requests "via watchlist". Request limits, approval and routing apply as for
    any other request.
  • Poster badges. A new "Request Status" badge (top-left, on by default)
    shows a watchlist title's request status on its poster: "Downloading 43%",
    "Out Dec 18", "Approved", "Awaiting approval", "Not requested", "Needs
    attention" or "Not on TMDB". While the title downloads, the poster also
    shows a progress bar.

Not in this release: Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and Plex watchlist sync still skip
titles the library doesn't have.
