I'd like to add a missing show

Hi everyone,

I’d like to add a missing show to Trakt, I manually added it to TMDB on saturday, but it dosn’t sync with Trakt. I used to manually force it back in the days, but the import link is missing now.

The show is this: SIW System (TV Series 2021- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB)

Won’t trakt automatically import shows from TMDB evrey now and then?

Hi,
We only import TMDB shows if they have an IMDB ID or a TVDB ID. We can’t import pages that don’t have at least 1 of the other IDs anymore. That check was created to prevent spam entries and duplicates.
If one of those IDs is added to that show, the page should import in up to 24 hours.

Isn’t 319285 this show’s TMDB ID ?

Hi, sorry, I meant a TVDB ID.
Basically, one of these 2 needs to be present at TMDB:

:frowning: since the show is an italian local production and does not have an entry on IMDB or TVDB, there is no other way except creating it manually on one of those two?

This is a problem that needs to be fixed/removed. It seems like you’re relying on TMDB but not relying on them. We all know they suck with certain processes and seasons. For example they treat American Idol as two separate shows while TVDB and others do not. This means they will not add those values breaking functionality for us.

Hi,
We currently don’t have a way to import pages without those IDs.
In general, we block more bad pages than good ones with this filter. TMDB is too open and anyone can create anything there. Because of that, many bad entries used to show up at Trakt. More than half of the pages that had to be merged or deleted before this check were spam pages that weren’t allowed at TMDB or duplicates, that ended up on their database anyway.

Are you able to add that page to one of those 2 databases?

I linked a TVDB ID. It’s 476766
Is it enough? Otherwise I will update TVDB page tomorrow

Hi,
Yes, that’s enough. The page has been imported here: SIW System - Trakt
Thanks!

Apreciate it a lot! Just another question, would it automatically add new episodes if I add them to TMDB?

Thank you so much for the help!

Hi,
Yes, pages do automatically update, but it can take up to 24 hours for that to happen. If it doesn’t, please report so we can manually refresh it!
