I’ve had Wednesday episodes popping in early all day, but now I see Thursday is fully there too. Airdates are still showing the correct date of April 16, 2026.
Is that issue still happening for you?
We are currently testing a new way to get airdates(to deal with episodes that air earlier on streaming services). If you are having this issue, can you share an example of an episode that is showing up in your “Continue Watching” that shouldn’t be there yet?
As for the ones you reported.
TMDB is our datasource, not TVDB.
On the show “I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear” episode 1 of season 3 has an airdate there. If that is wrong, the data needs to be fixed there first.
The data on the show “Frontline” also matches TMDB right now.
“Happy Tree Friends” seems to have several issues comparing to TMDB and TVDB, so I’ll need to take a better look to fix it, so it can match TMDB.
disgusted face tv show had wrong date there so i fixed it … its still on trakt so i guess devs cheaped out on sync and it will take 24h until i see some changes?
i need to double check frontline release date but that one is probably also wrong … this doesnt change that it shows as 2 remaining and not 1 so idk where this comes from
For happy tree friends why are you mentioning tvdb here? So is trakt using it or not?
Hi,
Syncs on TMDB can take up to 24 hours to show up on their API, so they can take up to 24 hours to update here. We changed the datasource several years ago.
There were 2 hidden duplicated episodes on Frontline and I’ve just merged them, please check if it shows only 1 remaining now. If the issues isn’t fixed, do you know if you have any unwatched episodes of that show?
I mentioned TVDB on that show because the data on both databases and at Trakt for that show is different. We can use TVDB as a comparison, in case TMDB is incorrect. Since TMDB has several seasons without airdates, I checked TVDB too.
Also, please, be respectful on how you are making these reports.
yeah frontline is now fixed … i will look into that release date later but now it shows “1 remaining” which is correct
idk whats up with happy tree friends and i bet the release dates are all over the place in general but why would it change now? The show is dead for several years so why is something happening to relase dates now?
syncs on TMDB are very fast AFAIK … i created lots of entries on that site and i have them loaded in app i use (Infuse) in about hour or two, sometimes even less. TMDB has written “up to 12 hours” in FAQ so im not sure where you got that 24h. That must be trakt number
Hi,
We say up to 24 hours because there is also the time for it to refresh here. While pages do show up fast on their API, some data takes a while. We say 24 hours to guarantee all data will be imported.
Happy Tree Friends has hidden duplicates messing with the refresh, it is an issue the developers will have to take a look.
