Mini-Series

It’s possible to made some easy way to search TV Mini-Series? Or just add “Mini-Series” on Status instead “Ended”, when this is the case?

Thank you.

good idea more power to the trakt end users +1

It would be cool if it would be listed as a genre or something. Like how Justin put in Anime and some others too based on tags and country of Origin. Create a genre Miniseries that’ll list it if the Type is Miniseries.

Miniseries isn’t a real genre though, but :woman_shrugging: there’s worse “genres” on other sites. As long as the Status isn’t misused for that, I’m totally in.

I wasn’t thinking about genre, I was thinking about changing the STATUS of a canceled or finished TV Show when TV Mini-Series.

When I see the status of a Mini-Series it is always “ended”, but in regular TV Shows it is the same status. I only thought about differentiation, instead of the “ended” status, when a Mini-Series, putting “Mini-Series”, so that we know that it is not a regular TV Show that has reached the end. It’s diffentent.

TMDB has “miniseries” as a keyword option.

Also keywords/genres are searchable on Trakt. It would just need to be added on our end.

The status of a show is to specify if it is still airing or not, so I do not think that is the best way to handle this IMHO.

That’s what I read. But the status is for the status. Not for what sort of show it is. Genre would (currently) be the best way to indicate it. Unless Trakt will create some new sort of way to show a miniseries flag.

As I put in the final line of my post. I like the idea as long as it’s indicated somewhere else that’s not the status field. Should not be abused for that. A miniseries is ended too. Or airing. Or in production. It’s not something special. Just something people might be specifically interested in, just like reality TV, or a gameshow or a documentary series.
