Dashboard widgets

Media widgets on the Main page for watchlist, history, ratings, and scrobble activity.

CW v0.9.24 adds configurable media widgets to the Main page.

These widgets show watchlist, history, ratings, and scrobble activity.

All dashboard widgets require a configured TMDb metadata key.

Without it, CW hides these widgets on the Main page.

Set it up in TMDb Metadata.

Available widgets

Shows the newest watchlist items.

It can show posters, provider icons, and the total count.

Configure widgets

Open Settings → UI settings → User interface → Dashboard widgets.

You can show or hide each widget separately.

Changes apply after Save.

No restart is needed.

Refresh and empty states

Widgets refresh when the Main page loads, when a widget is refreshed, or when new CW data is saved.

Refreshing a widget does not start a full sync.

If a widget is visible but empty, CW has not collected that data yet.

Recent Scrobble vs Recent Activity

These are different views.

Recent Scrobble is the visual widget.

Recent Activity is the text list.

See Recent Activity.

Data requirements

All dashboard widgets require a TMDb metadata key.

Without it, CW hides them on Main.

For Watchlist, Recent History, and Latest Ratings, CW uses data it already collected through sync state.

For Recent Scrobble, CW uses successful activity log entries.

Behavior notes

Watchlist shows up to 20 posters.
History and ratings can merge matching items from multiple providers.
Recent Scrobble does not run a provider sync.
Missing artwork uses a placeholder image.

Configuration file

You can also manage widget visibility in config.json:

{
  "ui": {
    "show_watchlist_preview": true,
    "show_recent_history_widget": true,
    "show_latest_ratings_widget": true,
    "show_recent_scrobble_widget": true
  }
}

See Configuration (config.json).

Troubleshooting

If a widget is missing:

confirm the widget is enabled
confirm TMDb metadata is configured
confirm CW has collected the required data

If the total is larger than the visible count, use Expand to load more.
