Getting TMDBid syncs should request them from TMDB
I've added plenty of movies to TMDB over the years but always having to pull them onto trakt once first before they can be synced is not a great mechanic. I always end up having to sniff the missing ones out in the kodi debugg log... It would be great if the actual TMDBid's which are provided would at least get added to a queue of things to pull once.

TMDB *still* has an 8-hours delay on getting updated data to the API? Can someone tell them it's 20-f'ing-17 and that shouldn't be a thing any more?

Images are now working fine. Still not getting all of them imported. Two from yesterday (added at around 21.00 UTC):

Ok cool. Do you have a way to track potential timeouts or similar things from tmdb? I can setup a couple more if you wanna log this. I never had problems importing any movies right after adding them to TMDB though so I feel like it's highly unlikely that it is on their end. What I did have were occasional timeouts from trakt itself but refreshing would usually fix that (I made a ticket about this once)

I found a bug with the initial image importing, so I'll have a fix out for that later this week. I'm not sure why "Chinese Midnight Express II" didn't import correctly. I tried it manually and it was ok in my testing environment. I wonder if it failed to grab the movie info from TMDB for some reason. After it grabs the "changes" it then would get specific info for each movie.

I added a few movies yesterday at 20:00 UTC time. They all showed up in the "changes" API looking through end_date=2017-08-31&start_date=2017-08-30.

on trakt https://trakt.tv/movies/gut-instincts-2012At first I figured maybe it's the non-English titles but it affected "Return to the Forest" for example and imported a "Sword and Flower" without issue too. Non of them had their images imported. Any clues?

I'll add a couple so we can see what the API does...

We run the update at 08:30 UTC each day, but have it go back to the previous day for the start date to get updates from. So that exceeds the 8 hours and should include any new items as well. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be picked up correctly.

here is travis confirming this working for new movies: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5984ca26925141430e00c956
since it takes up to 8 hours for changes to appear in the API is it possible that your filters are missing out on those potential 8 hours?

There used to be a list for recent items but IDK where it went. That call should actually work from the description but seeing as I'm now wading through a list of 300+ titles not syncing apparently not. And this isn't my first, or even second time doing this ;> (and I usually pull them after adding them myself but I get lazy sometimes).

We use https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/changes on a nightly basis, wonder if that doesn't include brand new items?
