@Sonply Have you read my post here that explains why this is such a major issue for people credits? The responsibility should not fall on users to have to validate and manually add ids ourselves. Weekly I add hundreds of credits worth of directors, writers, actors, etc. on TMDB and double checking every single one for an extra IMDb link is going to be impossible. I know it only becomes an issue for lesser known people, but it shouldn’t matter.
The previous version of Trakt would pull all actors regardless of their links and that system seemed to be working fine. In the grand scheme of things, dealing with a duplicate record once in a while is easier to fix than having multiple records not get imported at all. Missing data is worse than duplicate data.
I can kind of understand for tv shows and movies, but what about cases where TMDB locks the IMDb field? https://trakt.tv/shows/jury-duty-presents-company-retreat This on a show level has no IMDb id since it is treated as ‘season 2’ of the original Jury Duty, but the individual episodes have IMDb links. For the past month I have tried to refresh data and it will not pull any changes.
