Reintroduce personal library ownership and collection metadata on movie pages

Restore the personal collection-management features that were available before the V3 redesign, so that opening any movie page shows the personal relationship with that movie, not merely whether it was watched. Specifically, the following functionality should be restored:

  1. Library ownership indicator: Clearly show whether a movie belongs to my personal Library directly on its movie page, with the ability to manually add or remove it.

  2. Physical and digital media identification: Display whether I own the movie on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray or as a digital file, including support for multiple copies and formats.

  3. Detailed collection metadata: Restore access to the resolution, HDR, audio formats, channels and other technical specifications of my owned copies, including the ability to edit these details.

  4. Personal notes: Restore the ability to view, create and edit private notes associated with individual movies and collection entries. These are essential for recording information such as physical disc locations, collection numbers and other personal details.

  5. Complete personal movie information: Bring together ownership, collection metadata, personal notes, watched history, ratings and streaming availability on the same movie page, as Trakt Classic effectively did.

Many of us use Trakt alongside media centers such as Kodi to manage extensive collections of both digital files and physical discs.

The V3 redesign has removed or hidden much of the functionality that made Trakt our central movie-management platform.

This is not simply a request to restore the old visual design. It is a request to restore the functionality and access to personal data that made Trakt valuable.

Modernizing and simplifying the interface should not require sacrificing advanced features. These could easily be placed in an expandable section for users who need them.

Please consider restoring these capabilities in V3 or implementing them fully in Trakt OG.

For long-standing VIP subscribers who have invested years building detailed personal movie libraries, these are not minor conveniences. They are fundamental features and, for many of us, the reason we subscribed in the first place.
