Build your Wisdio video library.

Quick start

Keep the setup predictable: one folder for notes, one template, and one MOC (Map of Content) note for every Dataview view.

1. 1
   Install the two Obsidian plugins

   Enable Wisdio Companion and Dataview in your desktop Obsidian vault.

2. 2
   Choose the Wisdio folders

   Use Wisdio/Notes for notes and Wisdio/Templates/Default Note.md for the template.

3. 3
   Copy the recommended template

   New notes will include the source URL, timestamps, and editable organization fields.

4. 4
   Create Wisdio/MOC.md

   Paste any Dataview recipe from this page into your MOC.

YAML fields

YAML fields store note metadata. Wisdio writes the source and time fields; users fill in platform, collections, and status.

Wisdio sync fields

User organization fields

A video can belong to more than one collection:

platform: "youtube"
collections:
  - "AI"
  - "Product"
  - "To Research"
status: 🟥

Template variables

Template variables are replaced by Wisdio when it creates a Markdown file.

Recommended template

Paste this into Wisdio/Templates/Default Note.md. Wisdio fills the source fields; the user fills the organization fields.

---
wisdio_id: "{{id}}"
wisdio_source: browser-extension
wisdio_source_url: "{{sourceUrl}}"
wisdio_created_at: "{{createdAt}}"
wisdio_updated_at: "{{updatedAt}}"
platform: ""
collections: []
status: 🟥
---

{{content}}

Time format

Wisdio writes timestamps in ISO 8601 format so they remain precise, portable, and sortable.

Dataview date tokens

For a compact date such as 20260721, use yyyyMMdd.

dateformat(
  localtime(date(wisdio_created_at)),
  "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
)

Understand and customize Dataview

Dataview reads YAML metadata and turns it into live lists or tables. It does not move or duplicate your Markdown files, and every part of a query can be changed to match your vault.

Dataview recipes

Create Wisdio/MOC.md as the content map for your video notes, then paste the views you want to use. Each Copy button includes the complete ```dataview code fence required by Obsidian.

Recommended: Group by Collection

Use FLATTEN so one video can appear in every collection listed in its YAML.

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
  Collection AS "Collection",
  rows.file.link AS "Videos",
  rows.platform AS "Platform",
  rows.status AS "Status"
FROM "Wisdio/Notes"
WHERE collections
FLATTEN collections AS collection
SORT date(wisdio_created_at) DESC
GROUP BY collection AS Collection
SORT Collection ASC
```

Optional: All videos, newest first

```dataview
TABLE
  elink(wisdio_source_url, "Watch") AS "Source",
  platform AS "Platform",
  collections AS "Collections",
  status AS "Status",
  dateformat(
    localtime(date(wisdio_created_at)),
    "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
  ) AS "Created"
FROM "Wisdio/Notes"
WHERE wisdio_source_url
SORT date(wisdio_created_at) DESC
```

Group by Platform / Collection

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
  Group AS "Platform / Collection",
  rows.file.link AS "Videos",
  rows.status AS "Status",
  map(
    rows.wisdio_source_url,
    (url) => elink(url, "Watch")
  ) AS "Source",
  rows.wisdio_created_at AS "Created"
FROM "Wisdio/Notes"
WHERE platform AND collections
FLATTEN collections AS collection
FLATTEN platform + " / " + collection AS group_label
SORT date(wisdio_created_at) DESC
GROUP BY group_label AS Group
SORT Group ASC
```

Filter one platform and Collection

```dataview
TABLE
  status AS "Status",
  elink(wisdio_source_url, "Watch") AS "Source",
  wisdio_created_at AS "Created"
FROM "Wisdio/Notes"
WHERE platform = "youtube"
  AND contains(collections, "AI")
SORT date(wisdio_created_at) DESC
```
