Anyone here ever tried keeping a Markdown note next to their movie files? I’m talking about something like having a MovieName (Year).mkv and a MovieName (Year).md living in the same folder.
I was thinking it could be a nice way to keep personal notes about the movie, quick thoughts after watching, trivia, or even just a record of when and which version I watched. Since Markdown is plain text, it feels future-proof and easy to edit from anywhere.
Just looking to see how other people handle notes or metadata outside of the usual movie database apps.
I had a different purpose for my notes, so I made a webpage with a filter by rating. It’s decoupled from video files, but I only keep a few video files anyway.
that seem nice
I use the inbuild Markdown notes in Vivaldi, permits to copy texts in it and insert notes from the context menu, sync to mobile or other PC.
I’ve been using tiny media manager for this. It supports pulling information from a bunch of different providers. (there is a subscription) but for most basic use cases the free version is perfectly fine.
Tmm won’t do markdown, but it will do nfo files.
thanks. you may also want to take a look at https://lemmy.ca/post/38746526
I would use
nfoformat for thisCould you explain more please? How can we keep notes inside nfo?
.nfo files are text files, so it fits your requirement. Media players, like Jellifin, reads those focusing on certain tags, ignoring the unrelated ones so you just can make up your own, even write plugins (for jellifin lets say) that could render said tags in your player
Some self hosted multi media libraries have comment or note functions
I use jellyfin and it doesn’t seem to have this function. More importantly I would also like to keep notes for movies that is not downloaded and not shown in jellyfin
