MDBList List

Note on mdb sources

MDBList is not a live reflection of third-party sites such as CommonSense and Trakt. The data on MDBList is often days, weeks and months out of date as it is only periodically refreshed. As such, the data that Kometa fetches and applies from MDBList may not be the same as you see if you visit those third-party sources directly.

Finds every item in a MDBList List.

The expected input is an MDBList List URL. Multiple values are supported as a list only; a comma-separated string will not work.

The sync_mode: sync and collection_order: custom Setting are recommended since the lists are continuously updated and in a specific order.

Sort Options

For these sorts to be reflected in your collection you must use collection_order: custom.

Example MDBList List Builder(s)

collections:
  Top Movies of The Week:
    mdblist_list: https://mdblist.com/lists/linaspurinis/top-watched-movies-of-the-week
    collection_order: custom
    sync_mode: sync
You can also limit the number of items to search for by using the limit and url attributes under mdblist_list.

collections:
  Top 10 Movies of The Week:
    mdblist_list: 
      url: https://mdblist.com/lists/linaspurinis/top-watched-movies-of-the-week
      limit: 10
    collection_order: custom
    sync_mode: sync
You can also sort the items by using the sort_by and url attributes under mdblist_list.

If no sort_by option is specified, the list will use the sort order saved when the list was created.

collections:
  Top 10 Movies of The Week:

"External" MDBList(s)

MDBList supports "external lists", which basically mirror a list from another site. For example, this one:

https://mdblist.com/lists/chazlarson/external/2868
Which mirrors:
https://imdb.com/list/ls089009459
These lists can be used with Kometa, provided one or the other of these criteria are true:

  1. The owner of the MDBList API Key also owns the MDBList external list OR
  2. The owner of the MDBList external list has unchecked the Make your external lists private setting in their MDBList account settings.
