Hidden items list behaviour

In the hidden and dropped items, it says to click on a poster to remove the flag, but clicking title below the poster also simply removes the flag. Doing this for dropped item you can no longer add it to dropped any more (at least I couldn’t find how to)

So for now 2 requests:

  • Make title below poster open the item page
  • Add somewhere on the main item page an option to drop it

Where would you expect this icon to be on the summary page?

Maybe below all “Add…” options on the right? Maybe “Add to favs” and “Add comment” could be grouped and “Drop” added. I wouldn’t mind it being even smaller somewhere and not so obvious too. At the same time “Hide” could be added too. Maybe these two could be grouped together under some dropdown similar to “Add to list”

Below this:

I don’t think drop needs to be such a prominent button like that. The idea of having a way to drop is a good one, but I will need to think about it more from a UI perspective.

Great, another new feature to play with .
I have and I’m confused (easy I know).
I have dropped my 61 TV Shows that I had hidden. These now appear in my “dropped” items. Perfect.
These also appear in my watched progress (in Hidden Items), as you said they would, but I have a button telling me there are 61 shows that can be dropped (the same button I originally clicked to drop them), is this right?
If so why would it keep telling me I’m able to drop shows that I have already dropped?
I’m sure like anything there will be teething problems with new features. Is this one?

EDIT:
As these are hidden from the “normal” watched progress how could I obtain a list (.csv) of dropped shows?
Is it possible to add an export icon to the dropped page?

It’s just reading the number of watched shows and not doing any logic to know you’ve already transferred them over.

Only possible to get via the API or your data export. I’ll think about this more.

I’ll have a fix out tomorrow with smarter logic. It will only display the blue banner if you have hidden shows that aren’t dropped yet. It will indicate any show already dropped and which ones can be dropped by clicking that button.

I couldn’t even find hidden items list anymore. Thought it’s gone for good already :thinking:

It’s in the same place in your settings.

Excellent service as always.Thank you @justin

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I’m positive there used to be a dedicated option specifically for hidden items in the filter on that page

This is the option for hidden shows/seasons, it’s just not named like that:

Not sure how I would use API (not techy, sorry) and I have tried the data export but this is in JSON and I am not sure how to extract from this. I have tried an online extraction tool but only get a block of data that I cannot alter/play with.
How would I get that data from JSON in to a CSV file or an Excel/LibreOffice file so I can manipulate the data.
If anyone could point me in the right direction or give a basic guide to help me achieve this I would be grateful.

Oops, spoke too soon :grinning_face: I have reported this but yesterday I inadvertently clicked on one of the icons and now it does not show up in the dropped list (expected) but it also does not show up in my progress list or my Up Next or the Calendar.
Where has it gone?
I can find the show if I search but how can I re-hide it from the main Show page if I cannot see it anywhere else?

EDIT:
I have now found the show under Hidden Items Watched Progress and it tells me I have 1 show that can be dropped. That’s great, I can redrop my show but why did it not reappear in my calendar or Up Next as it says it would.

Actually pretty easy to convert in Excel using Power Query. From Google search:

To convert a JSON file to CSV within Excel, you can import the JSON data into Excel and then save it as a CSV file. Excel provides a “Get Data” feature that allows you to import data from various sources, including JSON files.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open Excel and navigate to the Data tab: Select “Get Data” from the Data tab.
  2. Choose “From JSON”: Select “From File” and then “From JSON”.
  3. Browse and select your JSON file: Locate the JSON file you want to convert and open it.
  4. Preview and adjust the import: Excel will display a preview of the JSON data. You can adjust how the data is imported, including selecting specific fields or modifying the delimiters.
  5. Click “Load” or “Load to”: Once you’re satisfied with the preview, click “Load” to import the data into your Excel worksheet.
  6. Save as CSV: After the data is imported, select “File” > “Save As” > “CSV (Comma delimited)” and save the file with a desired name.

@jluftman thank you very much for that and thank you for such detail too.
Hopefully I will be able to follow that. I’ll give it a try later.

Don’t thank me, thank Google AI !
