After the transition to TMDB Gintama (https://trakt.tv/shows/gintama) has extra episodes. Season 10 only has 12 episodes. Episodes 13 through 26 are actually season 11. Is it possible to remove the extra episodes and move views / collections to season 11? I also recommend removing extra episodes from specials (movie in specials on TVDB).

For the Bleach show (https://trakt.tv/shows/bleach) on TVDB the division is in several episodes while on TMDB there is only one season with the 366. Is it possible to make the transition to TMDB ( with moves of views and collections to "season 1") and remove excess episodes? Plus, modify the specials to match TMDB (6 instead of 7).

For Yu-Gi-Oh (https://trakt.tv/shows/yu-gi-oh-duel-monsters) it is the same problem for Bleach (multi season on TVDB and only one side on TMDB). Is it possible to make the changes only for Bleach? As well as removing the specials which are not really relevant from what I have noticed.

Thanks for taking care of my long request.

I do not know if other shows are undergoing these modifications (multiples seasons to One season) but do not hesitate to add them following my request!

Currently, the average rating for a show seems to be a simple average of all the ratings, so it doesn't take into account how many episodes each user has watched. A more accurate depiction would be to weigh the average based on how many of the available episodes each user has watched.

Let's take a simple example: users A and B watch the first 10-episode season of a show the year it first airs. User A rates it an 8 and user B rates it a 9. After the first season of the show, the displayed average is 85%, which is correct.

A year later, the show releases a second 10-episode season. User A is super busy watching other shows, so he delays watching season 2. In the meantime, user B watches it and finds it to be terrible, so he reduces his rating of the show to a 5. The average then corrects to 65%. However, one could argue user B has a complete overview of the show in its current state, whereas user A has only watched half, so his rating should not have as much of an impact on the average. This can be achieved by using a weighted average:

(ratingA * weightA + ratingB * weightB + ... + ratingN * weightN) / (weightA + weightB + ... + weightN)

where:

• ratingN is the rating of user N


• weightN is the number of episodes user a has watched divided by the total number of available episodes for the show or season (watchedEpisodesN / totalAvailableEpisodes)

So in our little example we have the following inputs:

• totalAvailableEpisodes = 20


• ratingA = 8


• totalEpisodesA = 10


• ratingB = 5


• totalEpisodesB = 20

Meaning:

• weightA = 10 / 20 = 0.5


• weightB = 20 / 20 = 1

Leading to the following weighted average:

(8 * 0.5 + 5 * 1) / (0.5 + 1) = 60%

If you introduce a third user that watches both seasons and also rates it a 5, the weighted average method yields an average of 56%, compared to 60% for the old method.

This solves the problem of ratings for ongoing shows and people who rate shows before they fully finished them. Some would argue people should not rate shows or seasons before they finished them, but at least for shows it makes sense to do so; you would not want to wait for a show to have ended before it can have ratings, otherwise users would not be able to decide whether to pick up an ongoing show. Depending on the details of the implementation, it could probably also alleviate the issue of people rating shows/seasons before release.

I have over 2000 shows on my lists. I try to go through them every so often to refresh them due to the data transfer that is going on. (When I have the time.) Doing so means i usually have a few more shows downloadable on my Series Guide App.

Right now i have 1000+ shows that still needs to sync their data from TVDb with TMDB. I don't have days to just sit around go into the show and refresh the data one by one. I try, but i never get close to finishing.

It would be great if there was a way to trigger refresh directly from my list without having to opening it's site.

Currently, on each show image you can: mark it watched, collect it, list it, rate it, and see where you can stream it. Also having the option to refresh it's data there would be very helpful and i would greatly appreciate it.

I tend to watch a few TV shows which air in the US first before coming to the UK via our streaming services (e.g NOW TV, iPlayer and All 4) - so I tend to get episodes in my 'Up next to watch' which can't be streamed (legally at least) right away.

Could the be a new filter on 'Up next to watch' which will filter episodes based on them being available through one of the user's favorite streaming services? I don't want to use the 'Hide this show' button because I'll just forget about the show down the line.

Thanks!
