Hi TrackTV team,

I know I'm onto a topic that have been discussed already, and I'm trying the shed a new light here, my apologies if this has been already discussed also.

I'm seeing more and more rating on episode that have not been released yet, which is annoying (because it is not very smart) but mostly it is biaising the overall rate of a tv show (unless it gets loads of votes), hence degrading the trust a user can have of TrackTV ratings.

I have seen several other requests that have been denied but none pointing out the negative impact on ratings and user trust. This could also be handled by banning early rater from rating a new show for example ?

Many thanks for your help

I'm an Android user and I've often searched for native apps that integrate with Trakt but I always end up returning to the Trakt website itself because it offers more features, is more robust & also is quite quick.

For a better integration into the OS I always add the website to my homescreen to have the Chrome bar removed and have a separate entry in the Recents with the Trakt icon.

Now over the last few years/months Google has improved upon this simple add to home screen feature and offered "deeper" integration.

For example PWAs can show up in the app drawer (not just as a shortcut on the home screen).
PWAs get an own "App info" screen where we can manage notifications, permissions, storage among other settings.

A good example of this would be the Twitter's PWA.

Also the current Trakt web app shows a small Chrome icon in a corner which those other web app don't anymore.

I'm not exactly sure how these features can be activated but it should be fairly simple.

This concerns the embedded YouTube trailers throughout the site.

I noticed that those are little to not customized at all. In fact, it is possible to customize how an embedded YouTube video is displayed: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

The thing which bothers me most is when you pause such an embedded video mid-watch, a video rail is shown at the bottom above the scrobble controls. This is not useful to trakt users: They want to watch the trailer, not drift off into YouTube universe.

The properties which would be cool to be used on trakt:
* controls=0 (disables additional, unnecessary player controls)
* iv_load_policy=3 (disables video annotations)
* playsinline=0 (this improves the mobile view of the website by forcing fullscreen video playback on ios devices. ios users can control the video much easier this way)
* rel=0 (hides the display of related videos after the video has played)

This conforms to web standards. The idea in detail:

When a user views an episode or a season, he/she can access the next/previous episode by using the arrow keys. I am aware that this is a custom implementation only working on the trakt.tv website.

There is a web standard defining the "rel" attribute for a elements. This can have many values. The values which are relevant here are "prev", "next" and "up".

A website can use this attribute in links on a page to denote them as the prev/next/above page respectively.

For trakt, this would work out as follows: rel='prev' for the previous episode/season, rel='next' for the next episode/season and rel='up' for the season (if on episode page)/the show (if on season page).

Optionally this could be also applied to movies: If a movie has multiple associated parts (like Jurrassic Park or Lord of the Rings), this could navigate between those parts.

The point of all this is that a user using accessibility tools/views can navigate the site much easier with this change in place. Also for power users this could mean that they could use one global shortcut which would work on all websites to navigate between consecutive pages.

It'd be great to be notified on the Dashboard when there's a special showing happening near me of movies that aren't new releases. There are lots of small, independent theaters that do special screenings, re-releases, or film festivals, or whatever.

For example, I had Vertigo on my Watchlist, and there was a showing at my local theater, and it would've been great if that appeared on my Dashboard.

I know getting to that data is difficult, and a lot of it is probably impossible to get in a usable, automatable format, but there are a lot of showtime sites that probably have APIs, or you could even allow people to add Facebook feeds or iCal links to their favorite theaters, so you gradually build a database of smaller theaters that way.

As of right now you can mark a item as collected with one type of metadata bluray/dvd/digtal ect.
Myself I have multiple editions of a movie like a bluray and a dvd or bluray and digital copy or all of the above.
It would be nice to either be able to mark a movie/tv show/episode as collected more than once.
Like watch history with a view all button and the best quality shown on the main page.
Or be able to select more than one option under format.
I personally prefer the former because it represents what is an entirely different copy.

Hope this makes sense.
