Hi

Is it possible to mark as watched but i don’t want added to total playtime for me.
I do not want to use lists or collections

Thanks

Unfortunately there is not, but what is it that you are trying to accomplish by doing so? Perhaps there is an alternative solution that may be overlooked.

Hi
Thanks for the quick answer.
I go through a lot of movies as I watch a lot of horror movie recapped on youtube. I just want them marked as watched as the way i do it now I am watching WAY more than 24H a day :rofl:

thanks

This is not possible unfortunately. Anything in your watched history will be counted in the overall stats.

I do this for movies I have watched before I started using Trakt: I mark them as watched on the day I was born. For shows or episodes, I do the same, but I use my 1st birthday date

That still makes the “All Time Stats” wrong, but it has no ill effect on the stats in “Year in Review”.

Maybe you can do the same or something similar.

Oh, I am not alone, nice!
I do the same.
Though as a dev by heart, I didn’t choose my birthday, but ‘1970-01-01 00:00’.

I do similar but just record them all for the day I joined trakt. So March 2015 is absolutely stacked for me :joy: used to drive me mad using the date picker on the mobile site to do this. So hard to scroll the years back! Thankfully the app has saved my sanity.

I do a similar thing as well, except I use the year before I joined trakt. I also put it all on March 31st as a Parks & Recreation reference
