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/enormoz/lists
https://trakt.tv/users/zapras/lists/rarbg
https://trakt.tv/users/chas3down/lists/drunk
https://trakt.tv/users/fexi/lists/all-movies-with-german-audio
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 searched for two movies to add to my watchlist. The first one added as expected, and the second one ( https://trakt.tv/movies/poetry-2010 ) shows this error in red:
"Doh! You can't add a movie to your watchlist."
(And the movie wasn't added to my watchlist)

I definitely can add other movies to my watchlist, so this error is confusing.

I was going to try again a couple of days later, but now it looks like the film WAS added to my watchlist after all. So it was a temporary glitch?

I guess the issue is resolved, but just FYI - it happened!

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)?

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.

It would be cool if there was something that indicated if a movie was available on Movies Anywhere (https://moviesanywhere.com/). As an example of what I mean, CheapCharts, a site that tracks movie prices on iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu, shows the Movies Anywhere logo on movies that are available on MA:

https://www.cheapcharts.info/us/itunes/movies/764632601/The-Dark-Knight

Ideally, though, I'd like to have it included as a service in the "Where to Watch" modal and have a link to the movie's page on MA. I realize that the services currently listed there are being pulled from JustWatch, which doesn't include MA, so this data would have to come from somewhere else.

Moving from Followshows, which has an RSS feed of new episodes of shows that I follow. Each day, the new episodes of that day are added to the feed, as "news items" – like RSS is supposed to work in other words.

I can't seem to find a way to create the same functionality in Trakt – the closest is using a My Shows/ Weekly Shows calendar RSS with a limit of 1 day. This does not give me the history, though, as I can't see episodes released yesterday or last week.

In other words – the Trakt RSS seems to only look forward (from today and into the future), but what I'd like and what Followshows has is a feed that looks backwards – from today and into the past.

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 :/...
