Got it, thanks – I’ll give that a shot. As a middle ground, is there any way (or any plans to create a way) to hide/drop individual seasons instead of an entire show? (edit: nevermind, I didn’t realize that was already a feature, I just had to use Progress instead of Up Next to see it)
Separately, though, the Up Next sorting not working feels like a bug to me – please tell me that one’s not intentional!
I’m seeing the same issue on iOS. There’s a new episode of a show I haven’t watched in a year and a half that’s now at the top of my Up Next, ahead of the shows I’m actively watching, even though I have my sort set to show my most recently watched shows first.
I’m also unable to change the sorting of my Up Next – if I go into the list and change the sort dropdown option, it doesn’t do anything.
Hiding seasons should still work and they shouldn’t show up in the apps if they are hidden.
Are you seeing episodes in your up next from seasons you have hidden?
The sorting issue and the watchlist items being in Up Next are technically the same issue since it’s due to the Up Next behavior change. I promise your issue won’t go unheard!
I’d rather it be an option like we had before. I have never wanted watchlist items in my up next. So hopefully they consider bringing that toggle back.
I have to agree about Watchlist and Up Next. My Watchlist is only ever for upcoming shows I want to watch - I only add already airing/aired if and when I want to start watching. So while I DO include my watchlist in up next that is MY choice and I liked the fact it was a choice, that we users had so much control over how Trakt worked for us.
I really hope it’s a bug that gets fixed and not deliberately taking away user choice - unless the plan is to stop us having any say in how Trakt can be best used for our individual cases and more options vanish?
If this trash change is not reverted in the next day, I will just create a new watchlist list and move everything there from the Trakt default watchlist. Your stupid update will be for nothing.
I truly don’t understand why this change was forced upon us. I don’t want 100 things I’m not actually watching showing up in my up next list just like I don’t want shows I’ve dropped in there. That’s just silly! I already know that season 1, episode 1 is up next because I haven’t started the show yet!
Before we got the drop option, I would just delete dropped shows from my history to clean up my clutter. I guess now we have to waste one of our limited lists to make a separate watchlist so I can just see the thing I’m actually watching in my up next section. This is ridiculous.
I always fail to understand why those big time decisions are not done by discussing it with the community. Why does @kcador keep on promising better communication and it never actually materializes?
This product is driven by the community for the most part and the entire teem seems to not care about the people’s opinion one bit.
Hire a PR person, that’d spare you tons of the negativity that seems to be following Trakt around every step of the way.
My initial issue with “dropped” shows appearing was actually because they were still listed as “hidden”. Changing that resolved this
however, like many others here, I deliberately wanted my Up Now section to only shows I am actively watching, or have started and not dropped. I have 100 items on my watchlist - including them all in Up Now is very unwieldy
Look at my list - why it shows me that I should watch from start, when I have only part of a season left?
I can drop that few shows that showed here, that’s no problem, but I always treated up next as my tracker of ongoing series and to remind me when the new season pops up.
Ah and BTW, I never utilised watchlist. I have 3 shows there. But I know why people got frustrated - I too used it for “well maybe if I have nothing else to do, I’ll give a to go”. If I had dozens of them there, I’d frustrated.
Android app now showing shows in watch list that I haven’t even started. Also showing shows I’ve dropped and up next order is incorrect from website. Everything was working fine before recent update.
Hi, shows you have marked as “Dropped” should not be showing up. I think they are still marked as “Hidden” and weren’t converted to “Dropped” when we changed that. Please go into your settings and look for this option:
