He rebuilt 10,000-item media library in Obsidian with AI triage after TV Time shut down
dSebastien · x · 2026-10-19
Developer Sébastien Dubois details how TV Time's shutdown in July 2026 wiped 15 years of his viewing history, prompting him to move all media tracking into his Obsidian vault.
Key points:
- 10,260 plain-Markdown media notes (movies, shows, anime, games, board games) with covers, statuses, ratings, ownership and prices, versioned in Git with multiple daily backups
- One note type per medium, integrated into his knowledge base, browsable, queryable and AI-askable
- AI triage workflow: new media land at priority 99 (TBD); AI presents 4 items at a time with length, online rating and ownership for fast prioritization; an Up Next view sorts the backlog
The system ships with Obsidian Starter Kit v5.1 (free update), with real vault code in the write-up.
