I get this error message alot when trying to add TV shows to collections.
Have you checked on TMdb/TVdb to see if episodes are listed on there as aired?
Yea I get that message sometimes when trying to add older shows too not just new unaired shows. Sometimes what it takes is me deleting the cookies and retrying for it to be successful.
You’ll see that message if there are no air dates for the episodes. Collecting a full show or season will only collect episodes with an air date. However, you can collect episodes individually even without an air date.
I was trying to collect Race to the Center of the Earth Season 1 - Trakt.tv and it has airdates so not sure why. And I was saying I think the site has some bugs because in the past I’ve tried collecting some other shows and I would get that same message and after clearing my cookies and re-logging back to the site, I was then able to add to collection.
I wonder if there is a browser plugin interfering with the website, I’ve seen this with ad blockers.
Could be. But just clarifying, can you try adding this to your collection Race to the Center of the Earth Season 1 - Trakt.tv . It hasn’t premiered yet but it has airdates and I cannot add it.
Oh, it won’t add since it hasn’t aired yet. When acting on a show or season, it will only add episodes that have already aired. It doesn’t make sense to collect an episode that hasn’t aired yet, and if for some reason you do own a pre-release episode, you can just collect the episode directly.
Oh ok, I usually collect shows that I want to and/or have watched and I thought I’ve done that in the past, but I could be mistaken. So you can collect individual episodes/movies which haven’t aired yet but not full shows?
That is correct. However, you should be using your Watchlist for items you want to watch. The collection is for items you own.
I see. I guess my issue is solved. Thanks for taking the time.
