Just joined VIP. Not because I strongly wanted any of the VIP features - but I wanted to support the developers.

Main value of free Trakt for me:

  • iOS app - I almost never log into the web site
  • tracking what shows I’m watching and most importantly what streaming service it is on. Was that show on Netflix or Hulu? (The service tells me what episode is up next)
  • telling me when a new episode is available if they are not all available immediately
  • calendar of upcoming episodes and season premieres (for when my wife asked when the next episode of so-and-so will be)
  • keeping lists of movies I want to watch from recommendations I get (friends, NY TImes Watching, The Watch)

Stuff that I would use (if I can figure out if its even available):

  • I started watching a show, got bored and am abandoning it. Want to remove it from my list without having to delete the watch history. Currently, I don’t even add it untill I’m a few episodes in.
  • I don’t need to catch up on missed episodes of Last Week with John Oliver or SNL - just show me the latest episode available
  • I don’t need to watch all of Friends or South Park in order - just give me a random episode to watch instead of Next Episode.

Hello, welcome.
The first thing you asked you can do in your progess page. There is an icon in both the app and website that looks like this: image, when you click on it you can hide that show from your progress.
On the website, you can hide specific seasons that you don’t plan on watching.

OK - I found that. I’ve never looked at the Progress screen. Just tried hiding a show. Cool.

How do I “unhide” if I decide later that I want to give it another try?

In your settings there is a section called ‘hidden items’. Just click in the show and it will go back to your progress.

Thanks - found it.

Υou can click on mark as watched the previous and leave only the latest

I do not think that there is a random option watch here.

Not if you haven’t watched those. Better to hide the seasons from progress. I think it’s possible to hide per season.

yes that is correct was a new feature, you can hide also individual episodes.
Mark as watched will added to your history and count to your statistics as well.
That was the old way :smiley:

I wish, but unfortunately only show/season level can be hidden
