Watched state without date info

I do know which movies or tv shows I watched before I joined TRAKT community. What I do not know is when I watched them. When I use “watched at date aired” or something else this would mess up my history summary. I want to track my data as detailled as possible but when I do not know when I watched something it would be pretty cool to not select a date. Right now I track only movies and shows after my account creation. I would love to add some more data without the date info. Thanks in advance. …

"Unknown" Play Date

Hi All - I think it’d be useful to have an “unknown” option for when something was watched. I have lots and lots of episodes and movies that I watched before I came over to trakt that I would love to have listed but I don’t want to arbitrarily pick a date that I viewed it. A category that doesn’t screw up all my stats would be nice. Thanks for the hard work and great product.

Unsurprisingly so since it really is a needed feature.

I understand Trakt is very reliant on the date when adding a play but there has to be a way to implement this.

My suggestion is to automate what is commonly done, choosing a date way in the past. So when you add a play and it asks you when you watched it, there’s an unknown option that sets the watched date to 1/1/1950. If possible that’s only for the backend. When you go to the episode and history pages it ideally should say Unknown.

Or even have an earlier date. I’m sure there are 75 year old Trakt users so have the Unknown date be 1/1/1850. Then code it so every instance of that date is replaced with Unknown.

Unknown needs to be reflected in the All Time Stats too.
