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.

Ages ago when I was going through the IMDb top 200 I would write a txt file however now with local hosted media servers I’m not aware of a way to do this conveniently.

no apparently not. but I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to write a script to create md under each folder with same name

MovieName (Yeat) \ MovieName (Yeat).md

And manage it using trillium.

I strong suggest you take a look at the *arr, you can create folder and manage folder names easily.
