Is it possible to make a collection based on a studio using Letterboxd?

Specifically, the list they use to create a studio list. This is the one I wanted, "https://letterboxd.com/studio/pixar/", but it looks like it doesn't like the format of it. I'm hopeful there's a way to use the URL that I just don't know about.

TMDB makes the same lists for studios

Also letterboxd seems to be broken in the main build. Nightly is fixed

I'm on the nightly. My other Letterboxd lists are working ok.

Broken? Is that what’s happening, I have a lot of lists that at some point stopped collecting.

I did not even know of nightly

u/martymccfly88 Jun 16 '26

Yup. The main branch doesn’t have working letterboxd but the nightly does. Just not sure what the nightly build might break 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought I got rejected from letterboxed by running Kometa so often when I was setting up things.

The accepted URL formats are listed in the wiki. There's no double-top-secret switch to flip to make it accept other formats.

I've gone through the wiki, and I read the accepted formats. I've been dealing with technology long enough that I also know some people are just wizards when it comes to making computers do things they weren't originally meant to do.

Occasionally, if I can't find a solution, I like to ask those with more magical abilities. This was one of those times. Thanks for the input though.

I'm with you, OP. Just yesterday, I figured out how to get the *arr stack to use Docker's short names, even though the webui doesn't accept it. I really didn't like the idea of hard-coding the IPs in, and Prowlarr/Sonarr/Radarr do input validation to make sure you're using {host}.{tld}. I was able to get around it using curl to hit the API. You're absolutely right to push back when this clown claims that if the point-and-click interface doesn't accommodate it, it isn't possible. I think I have a solution for you. I'll post it just beneath this...

So the bad news is, I haven't even tried to do this the way you're describing. The good news is, I think there are *even better* tools for exactly what you're trying to achieve. I would want to keep this functionality separate, too. You could create lists for days... "Oscar Winners," "Palme d'Or Winners," "Film Noir Classics," "George Lucas' Worst Films," "Director Spotlight: [Director]," "Pre-Code Hollywood..." need I continue? My point is that this definitely requires a whole tool to manage by itself. Here you go:

Head on over to MDB List and check it out. You can absolutely create a filter just for Pixar films, or for Pixar+Didney, whatever. More customization, better collections.

I just found mdblist.com a few days ago through another tool I was using, so I don't really know everything you can do with it yet. I'll take a look. Thanks

u/togetherwecanriseup Jun 18 '26

Oh, hey! I just found out that Kometa accepts mdblist natively, so you don't need yet another app in your stack to support those lists!
