After importing this using CSV option, I am end up with completely inaccurate results besides a few correct ones. Every value in tvdb_id is correct, you can check out which show it leads to (usually American, British quality series and not unknown). This is what I get on my account.
Okay, I have just used this table and still getting all the inaccurate stuff. I just Googled a dozen of TMDB ids from the table and all seem to be correct but not importing accurately.
Which series are you importing though, because tvdb id 359274 = Vinland Saga = tmdb id 88803
I donât see 88803 in your table.
also, you should be able to import with tvdb too, are you importing a csv file? these are the guidelines according to trakt:
Your CSV file should contain the following fields:
id: the ID can be a Trakt ID, IMDB ID or TMDB ID. For TV-shows it can also be a TVDB ID.
The ID should be prefixed with the service name, i.e. trakt_id, imdb_id, tmdb_id, or tvdb_id.
watched_at: the date and time the item was watched. The format is ISO 8601.
Can be omitted if only adding to your watchlist.
watchlisted_at: the date and time the item was added to your watchlist. The format is ISO 8601.
Can be omitted if only marking as watched.
rating: the rating for an item. Needs to be a value from 1 to 10.
This is an optional field.
rated_at: the date and time the item was rated. The format is ISO 8601.
This will only be parsed if a rating is also present.
I suggest just looking up the series on Trakt and manually add them to your watchlist if thatâs your goal!
watchlist = your plan to watch list basically, if you add a series to it, and watch the first episode, it auto gets removed from your watchlist. And it will be in the Progress/Up Next (on your dashboard) instead.
Well, thatâs what I was trying not to do since itâs 85 series. I could use 3rd party tools but import feature needs improvement. No one would import episodes as watch lists.
You can also try one import line with the tmdb 88803 for Vinland Saga I mentioned earlier, if the listin your second posts with the tmdb ids was complete, you didnât get the right ID.
But if you have to look up the tmdb ids for series since I suppose you donât have an export csv from there watch your watchlisted entries⌠Itâll be easier to just look up the series name on trakt (instead of themoviedb) and hit the green tick button to add to watchlist.
You could even change your settings so you donât get the popup thingy to select which list you want to add it to, and you just press it and it instantly adds to watchlist.
You can add a series to a list right from the search results~!
you can also import with the imdb ids btw, if your source has that maybe, but same there, if you have to look those up, youâre better off search on trakt and adding to watchlist manually.
Oh thanks! I have been using it for couple years now. I had imported my data from another service through GDPR and third party script back in the day, but it didnât support watch listed series so after learning official import feature thought I should try it out.
Hi there, as a test I tried exporting my watch history from one trakt account into another, using csv, and various combinations of IMDB ID, TraktID, and TMDB, it should be flawless, but I got the same results as you - thousands of watches of stuff Iâve never heard of, mixed in with some real data, I tried splitting out my shows/episodes from movies and it still went wrong - Either the import tool or the data export from Trakt is seriously flawed.
My interest in this is as Iâm backing up my trakt data, I want to be confident that a recovery actually will work - as is Iâm not.
