Adding a tv show that didnt add automatically

hi :)) first time doing this

I recently added a new TV show titled “4 חתונות” to TMDb ( 4 weddings (TV Series) — The Movie Database (TMDB) ) including future episodes. However, I don’t see the show or the new episodes appear on my Trakt account yet.

what do i need to do now??

Thank you very much for your assistance.

take the TMDB_ID from the url of that link from tmdb.

In this case the tmdb_id is “297960”. you can find it from the url.

Go to the trakt website and scroll all the way to the bottom and click on “Import TV Show". Paste the TMDB_ID. Then click on “import TV Show”

Tried doing it and it gave me some random movie :((

Movies and TV shows have separate ID namespaces on TMDB. The same number can be associated with a series, a film, or both, depending on which entries were deleted/merged over TMDB’s history; the earliest collision I could find was with ID 2 (TV, film).

This must be a bug on Trakt’s side, checking at import time if the TMDB ID given is already attached to an existing entry without checking the existing entry’s type.

Works fine for me…

You must have clicked on import movie instead of import tv show.

Yeah idk for me it still shows “Item failed to load or not found” when I try to open its links and gives me this random movie when I import the show (checked and made sure I’m importing a tv show these times lol)

What do you mean? You can’t see that link I sent? It will take up to 24 hours for you to see everything since it’s newly added in TMDB.

I think bc it’s opening directly to the app which yea it’s not loading yet.

check from the trakt website. It will take 12-24 hours to properly show up correctly in the app.

you probably hit the import movie button instead of import tv show.

I tested yesterday with the Import TV Show button multiple times to be sure. Trakt opened a movie with the same TMDB ID 297960 every time.

Today, Import TV Show correctly opens the series instead. :man_shrugging:
