There have been many times when I wonder whether to wait through the credits in the cinema to see if there is an after credits scene, or, when watching a film at home and then leaving the rolling credits on for the music whilst I rate the movie and SURPRISE! Post credits scene that I had no idea about, and I don't like thinking about how many people missed this scene because no one had an idea it existed.

I believe some feedback system where (authenticated) users can vote to say whether the movie has an after credits scene or not. I understand there is some exceptions when films have multiple after credits scenes with more credits in between them but I think maybe just a Yes or No should suffice enough to help people justify whether to wait through the credits or not.

My technical idea for this is something along the lines of.

To allow voting:
a POST request that needs to include a bearer token so that we are sure that only users with accounts can vote. Sent along with the info needed to record a vote, such as movie id and their vote (maybe YES/NO (Boolean?) What about future proofing for other voting options?)

My idea for the storage of a vote is (this is based on assumed knowledge of the current DB structure given the current API responses) a table with columns to store the userid, movieid and their vote. Which could hopefully make changing a users vote easy and avoiding double voting etc.

Fetching the votes will simply be a count of the votes for a given movie for each vote choice.

This is a very loose idea and without knowledge of the current system I can't say my suggestions/ideas are accurate.

Would love to hear reasons for/against this idea.

Thanks

A good amount of shows have canonical versions of their episodes uploaded on YouTube.

It'd be useful if there was a way to "link" episodes with those specific YouTube videos.

This unique video ID (the part after /watch?v=) would ideally be exposed through the backend for API clients. As for the website, instead of embedding the video, a simple link would be fine since I don't think you guys are interested in turning Trakt into a viewing platform.

The reason I'm interested in this is, it's always been a hassle to keep track of your subscriptions and the content you care about on YouTube. It's a big mess. And with the introduction of YouTube original shows, serialized content is only going to grow from here. This change will enable devs to create browser extensions that implement Trakt directly onto the YouTube interface, allowing people to scrobble and track a lot more shows automatically. It will also potentially bring thousands more users to Trakt.

The implementation would be as straightforward as adding a database field for the YouTube video ID. Of course you do have to update the interface and the API endpoints to support the new field.

You're going to love this idea. Ok, so we're human, right? We have 24 hours in a day, 9 of those are spent working, and we get about 2 to watch a movie or some TV. We've all got way too many movies on each of our Watchlists, and many us, by the time we get around to watching some of these movies we added to our Watchlist, we've totally forgotten why we added the movie to it in the first place (why we were interested), especially when you added it for some reason like, a friend recommended it to you, or it's by a certain director you've heard was good, etc.

So my feature idea would be: let us associate a little note with the action of adding an item to our Watchlist. And make it easy to see that note while we're browsing the Watchlist. It'll help jog our memory why we were interested in watching the movie.

I don't think anyone has ever done this.

I honestly don't even know if I'm describing this correctly but I shall try. I don't always watch shows from the first episode, especially if watching on TV. For the past month, when I check into a show that I have watched previously, if I check into an episode that aired BEFORE the episode I just checked into, it always shows the episode AFTER the one I checked into long before.

For example: I checked into The Andy Griffith Show episode 8x24 then started watching the show again from Season 1 and checked into episode 1x01 but my Recently Watched On Deck still shows 8x25 is the next episode I'm supposed to watch meaning I have to check on the episode, go back to Season 1 and pick the episode from there. It will constantly show 8x25 as the next episode to watch until I get to that episode which is about 200 episodes away.

Another example is The Great British Bake-off. I previously watched Season 5 but my PBS is now showing Season 4 so I checked into episode 4x01 but my On Deck is showing the next episode I need to watch is 5x11.

Example:

Recently Watched shows: http://i.imgur.com/u99FtT7.jpg

In my opinion, it would be much easier to use the Recently Watched On Deck section if it would always show the next episode (if it has already aired) that comes after the one you've recently watched/marked and newest one you've watched from whatever season is newer. Especially if it's a daily show like a news program, soap, or talk show that some people don't watch every episode of, but watch on a semi-regular basis.
