I'd love this, ideally implemented like Trakt’s Collection / Library feature (Collection was renamed to Library), with a dedicated ownership status independent of watched status and watchlists.
The key features for me would be:
Add movies, individual episodes, entire seasons or shows, with bulk actions.
Record the format: DVD, Blu-ray, digital, etc.
Optionally save technical details: resolution, HDR, audio codec, audio channels and 3D.
Record the date collected, with an unknown-date option.
View collection progress per show and season, making missing episodes easy to identify.
Filter and sort by format, resolution, date collected, etc.
Import existing Trakt Collection / Library data, including its metadata.
Two-way sync with Jellyfin would also be a major plus, keeping watched status, ratings and supported metadata aligned, while automatically reflecting media added to or removed from the server in WeTrakr’s collection. Removing a digital file should still let us retain ownership of a physical copy.
For example, I could own a season digitally in 1080p without having watched it yet, or have watched a movie without owning it. Keeping those statuses independent is essential.
This would make it a proper inventory of our physical and digital libraries, with automatic synchronisation.
Following up on my earlier comment, this time on the API side, which is what sync tools need. I opened a matching request on CrossWatch so both ends line up: https://github.com/cenodude/CrossWatch/issues/1510
Library endpoints in the public API: list, add, update and remove, with pagination and an updated_at / last-activity timestamp so sync tools can fetch only what changed.
Copies, not one entry per title: each copy (e.g. a 4K disc and a 1080p file) with its own format and technical details, plus an update call for when a file is upgraded.
Trakt-compatible values for format, resolution, HDR, audio, audio channels and 3D, plus a 4K Blu-ray format (Trakt lacks one), so Trakt imports and syncs stay lossless.
Episode-level ownership for shows.
A Trakt import that keeps metadata and original collected dates. Trakt's library export (JSON) includes both; mine go back to 2014.
Happy to help test!

This 100%. This is the single most important thing to me and whoever makes this happen like Trakt had it previously will get me for life.
It should basically be a Collection and from there you can select Digital (+ Plex / Emby / Jellyfin auto import) or Physical (track your DVD / Blu-ray Collection etc).
That way the TV guide can show all the things you own that have new episodes coming this week (not just shows you’ve watched - again, can be filtered by “only show what I’ve watched” or “show all in my collection”
You can also go to trending TV / Movies and hide your already collected OR already watched OR both.

+1, one of the features that kept me at Trakt for so long. Until their new leadership decided nobody cares about physical media and retconned their Collection feature into a “Library” designed primarily to track what one has downloaded into Plex/Emby/whatever—and removed most manual management of it, relying on sync add-ons.
I still have my old Collection data in automatic backups (another feature they discontinued) and would love to see it again in WeTrakr—plus add the discs I’ve bought in the last year or two.
From memory, the fields Trakt once supported for collected media were:
Media format (DVD/BD/digital/VHS/maybe Laserdisc?)
Resolution (480p, 576p, 720p, 1080p, 2160p)
Audio channels (2.0, 2.1, 5.1, 7.1, …)
Audio format (PCM, FLAC, AAC, Dolby Digital, probably several more I forgot)
When you collected it (editable timestamp, just like a history entry)
WeTrakr might understandably not want to just replicate what Trakt had, but I’m in favor of capturing as much structured data as possible so it can be used for filters. (Bonus points if WeTrakr does this and allows “collecting” multiple formats; Trakt restricted you to just one, which folks usually used for the highest-quality version they owned.)

I had replied to this in the “old” thread. Replying again, yes, this is one that i would sup[port wholeheartidly. Not only items you own, any “collection” you want to keep with the option to remove items from the collection. If your a trekkie, keep all Star Trek Movies and Shows in your “Collection” for example, just because you want to have them all at hand.

I'd also love Collection / Library sync support through CrossWatch, so this data can stay consistent across my media server and trackers:
https://www.crosswatch.app/
https://github.com/cenodude/CrossWatch
For example, I could own a season digitally in 1080p without having watched it yet, or have watched a movie without owning it. Keeping those statuses independent is essential.
