Show release dates for specific country in calendar

Trakt Feature Requests

There were already multiple topics about that feature, but all of those are closed because of inactivity.

Still i want to vote on this feature and therefore create a new topic.

For reference here are some of the old feature requests:

One example why this would be good:

In Germany, the second season of StarTrek: Short Treks has never aired until now. But on September 8, they will be available in Germany for the first time on Paramount+.
But i would not see that release date in the calendar.
I saw those episodes in the past, when they aired in the US, but couldn’t watch them at that time.
This is very frustrating.

I would love if there was some option to configure which countries release dates should be shown in calendar. Users who are using a VPN will just select USA as an additional country, and i would only select Germany there. Some users may also want to select Germany and USA for example.

The data is available in IMDB (as far as i could see) so it would be a great addition to use this data then.

Bump to avoid auto-close because i still want this feature :grin:

This is a good idea, but the data isn’t available in TMDB. We can get limited IMDb info, but I don’t believe we can get release dates without api access. I will add this to my long term task list since I do like the idea in general.

Thanks for bumping, well it worked, a few have voted for it including myself. It’s a great idea and Justin has mentioned he has added this to his list.

I believe this is related… I’ve just encountered a similar issue. A movie called In the Lost Lands was supposedly released on December 5, but it turns out that that was just in Brazil. Since I don’t live in Brazil, let alone speak Brazilian Portuguese or Spanish, I don’t care about that release date. The US (or English-language) release date is relevant to me.

Trakt lists the three release dates from TMDB, so the data has already been ingested. Strangely enough, no one other than TMDB even lists the Brazilian date.

I did a quick google search and it shows it releases in the USA on 28th February 2025 if that helps?

I fixed that. The main release dates for movies should be the one on the origin country. According to TMDB is on 28th February 2025.

Yes, I know. I wasn’t concerned about not knowing the date, but about the wrong/undesired date being shown in the calendar.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
