Just to touch up on http://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/11258295-schedule-movie-refreshes and other things regarding the data refresh. Tbh I have seen little improvement regarding data quality on the site. Really sucks hard that any upcoming movie or newly airing show has a big chance of being "incomplete" or running with subpar artwork. There really needs an additional update job besides the update time on their respective source for the refresh.

(from the "new show calendar")
https://trakt.tv/shows/the-virtues only had a backdrop but posters uploaded over two weeks as well as two days ago
https://trakt.tv/shows/funniest-ever-tv-cock-ups also blank
https://trakt.tv/shows/love-beyond-frontier-2019 has had a non-English "English" poster since Nov 2018...
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/terrace-house-tokyo-2019 same

(stale artwork - at least the image there is gets grabbed at least the one time)
https://trakt.tv/movies/brightburn-2019
https://trakt.tv/movies/the-informer-2019

Also there is still no language fallback for artwork that isn't "English"... there are enough instances where the original language is sufficient for "English" too... and everything is better than blank images. I have been uploading images to the wrong language on TVDB for well over two years now just so that trakt grabs them (or whenever I last requested this)... really would love to stop doing this.

For a while now different developers or even individual users have been creating ginormous lists with thousands of items but with only three featured on each entry these tend to block everything out since they are also more likely to reach someone else that might throw them a like. Are there any plans to deal with this? Can we hide, re-categorize (non-personal) or downvote lists against this? Some of these serve no purpose other than actually bypassing advanced filters I'd argue or being pinned on kodi dashboards on dubious box setups I'd say...

Here are some examples of this:
https://trakt.tv/users/theultimatec0der/lists (one of his "all shows" has 50K items...)
https://trakt.tv/users/dborg/lists (I think his biggest is gone which was the thousands of "MOVIES NOT INTERESTED IN WATCHING)

https://trakt.tv/users/opposite_lock/lists/15-18

Didn't find anything specific in the search but I was certain I saw mentions of this in the past too.

I have reported this issue before, and came across it again with movie:
https://trakt.tv/movies/the-mountain-between-us-2017

This movie on the Trakt web site did not show watched or collected. I know this to be wrong. I checked my local media data (in tinyMediaManager) and sure enough, it is both collected and watched. It also shows that it has already synced to Trakt with this data. This is proven in 2 ways. First, I do not manually mark anything watched in tMM. I mark when watched on Trakt and sync that to tMM. Second, it has the Trakt ID logged, which means that it has synced as that is how the Trakt ID gets populated. As a third method of verification, I have prior data backups from Trakt indicating that it was in fact collected and watched in Trakt in the past.

What steps are taken for data control and integrity? I have personally experienced two conditions where this issue could be happening. First is when there is a merge/deletion of a duplicate. I assume there is a merge process, or at least I hope so vs simply a removal of the duplicate. In this process, is there a pointer of sorts left in the system to where the former Trakt ID will point to the new ID? Second, Trakt has connection problems somewhat often. This happens usually around 06:00 UTC, typically +/- 2 hours. During this time, the site and service are up and down and not stable for a relatively short period of time, maybe 30 minutes if I had to guess. During this time, changes made tend to disappear and cause corrupt data. Corrupt data example is that a movie might appear on an list and it cannot be removed from it (this example has happened to me a few times). IF this is possibly due to maintenance on the site, server(s) or database, is anything done to prevent data writes during such times? Are there any checks to confirm data writes? For example, a write is sent to populate A, the database writes A and sends a reply that A was in fact written with success. Is there a transaction history that a user can review for changes under their account?

I do not know anything about Trakt on the backend, its database or programming. Due to this, I cannot really point to a problem and report it to be fixed. I can only identify that there is an issue and use my data management experience combined with my user experience on Trakt to identify possible problem areas. All I can be sure of is that there is with certainty an issue with data on the server side somewhere and it appears to be rare yet does happen. As a user, there is only so much I can do as access is limited and there is no way to know when data corrections happen exactly what code is used to execute the DB transactions. I hope I have provided enough where someone can review appropriately.

I love trakt. And I love TMDB. I contribute a lot to TMDB and think it is much better of a site and a community and more user friendly than TVDB. I understand that TVDB probably has a more comprehensive database for series compared to TMDB (I think TV shows are only a fairly recent addition to TMDB). However, contributing to TVDB is much more arduous than to TMDB, especially when it comes to getting incorrect data changed. The TVDB forum is fairly dead and slow to respond, me as a user have no idea if they keep track of our contributions.

Anyway, is there any reason why Trakt doesn't use episode information (especially air dates) from TMDB if they don't exist on it's respective entry on TVDB? Could this happen (any time soon- i.e. in the next couple of years)?

I think you should be able to skip episodes and seasons of TV shows so they don't clutter your "Up next to watch" queue. If you're not watching a show anymore, you can just remove it from your queue and that's great. But in the opposite scenario, what if you start watching a show (e.g. comedy news) that might have many seasons and/or is topical, you don't need to watch all the episodes you haven't seen. So you remove them from your "Up next to watch" queue...but then the new episodes, which you do want to watch, don't show up in your "Up next" queue either. That is a bit inconvenient, so if this is an easy fix it makes sense to me to have the ability to skip episodes or seasons of shows (or mark them somehow as "did not watch"). I realize that I could just mark them as watched but I am kind of interested in the stats that you provide and I don't want to boost the amount of TV I've watched by 500 episodes of something.

By doing this, you could also solve another kind of annoying problem, which is that even if you remove a show from the "Up next" queue, that reduces the clutter in the latter but the "Upcoming Schedule" list gets way more cluttered because of all the shows you just watched one episode of (and definitely don't feel the need to keep watching) or shows you have specifically stopped watching. By skipping or marking as "won't watch," that problem could be solved (alternatively for this one you could just extend the remove ability to both lists of course).

If you look at the above movie, it shows under language: English. I know it does not specify, but that leaves me with the impression that the language of the audio / the spoken words are English. After watching the film, I do not think there is a word of English in it. I checked at TMDB and the original movie language is English, and that is because the title is English. This is the same format used for other places like Musicbrainz, the language is the language of the name/titles, not the language of the words contained within, or the spoken words.

I would suggest either changing this or clarifying further. I am not sure it is of help to see the the title is English since we can see that. It would make more sense to show what language(s) are spoken.

There are other posts mentioning an incorrect language, but they seem to refer to incorrect fields and such. This report is noting the use of the wrong language field at TMDB. IT seems the title language is being used rather than the audio language.

Why does the "favorite genres" section only seem to count movies? For example, I watch a lot of SciFi and wondered why it doesn't show up in my Top 5 genres. Counting the entries in my history by genre, I have 440 movie plays and 2,052 episode plays (49 shows) for SciFi content, while I have 458 movie and 1,975 episode plays (33 shows) for "Adventure", which shows up as the last of my Top 5 genres. So with total plays as well as episode and show count, SciFi should be listed above Adventure - the only metric where Adventure surpasses SciFi in my history is movie plays. But why is that? It doesn't really seem intuitive and the headline "favorite genres" seems to suggests a general metric instead of one specifically tailored for movies and leaving out the rest. Am I missing something?

Edit: Okay, so now SciFi has surpassed Adventure, but just by a hair. The numbers for "Adventure" in my history are still the same, but SciFi now counts 442 movies and 2,126 episode plays in 51 shows. So I guess that means episodes are factored in, but they weigh FAR less? What's the exact metric here?

I don't do regular housekeeping of my trakt data and things are prone to get messy due to various bugs in apps and plugins but I'll always end up with duplicate plays at some point. Many of those end up going from check-ins to plays at the same timestamp which shouldn't get accepted as valid by the site at all imho or at least end up getting merged. Despite not not being advertised outside of some support threads and a single kodi forum thread I end up getting a lot of visitors on my duplicate removal script (500+ last year) which tells me this is quite a common issue and affects plenty of people :/...

Okay, not MAKE, but an option!

WatchList style will make it really nice and easy to decide what show to continue watch.

Anyways,

Progress list page currently it looks like this

And this is how it will look (WatchList style)
https://i.imgur.com/n4rYKGf.jpg

Current progress page only shows 3 shows on landing page or 4 if scrolled down. Proposed one will show a lot of shows on a single page!

I already suggested this over a year ago here. It was even marked as "Planned".

But not a lot of people were interested because of my weird title and confusing mspaint picture.

I am reposting it with a proper title to know what other trakt users will think about this idea.
Because i honestly feel like ton of people would appreciate this change if it gets implemented. I also wanted to get an direct answer from Justin about the plan because he never replied in original thread.
