Limitations

CrossWatch is lightweight: no database, JSON files only. That keeps it simple but caps scale.

• Not for very large libraries. JSON state and provider rate limits become the bottleneck.
• Soft size guidance (varies by hardware; SSD + 2 GB RAM recommended for):
  • Watchlist: stable up to ~2,500 items total across providers.
  • History (plays): stable up to ~10,000 play events total.
  • Ratings: stable up to ~10,000 ratings total.
• Above these ranges you may see slower planning, large state files, and long first-run times.
• Heavy backfills (full history/ratings) can take hours. Prefer incremental windows when possible.
• Ratings can take a long time; i don’t cache ratings (by design).
• Only for Movies and Shows currently there is no Anime support.

Known Issues

• Some UI sections don’t auto-refresh reliably. When in doubt, Ctrl+F5 for a clean reload.
• Stale UI data after long runs: Ctrl+F5 again.
• Statistics may not always display the exact numbers yet.
