Partially Watched Movies and TV Shows

Say i watch 35mins of a movie and then decide I don’t like it and don’t want to finish it - how do I record that exactly in Trakt.tv?

How do i see the Progress bar page for movies, like the Progress page for TV shows (for example based on the above movie I’d see a bar for it showing 35mins pink and 100mins dark red remaining for that movie)?

Say i watch 3 eposides of a TV Show but decide I don’t like it and don’t want to finish it - how do I easily record/flag the show Dropped with one-click (yes only one-click) which does all this :

  • marks Dropped on the shows main page (like under the orange Recommended label)

  • see show in a Dropped Shows list (like our Recommendations list)

  • hides show from On Deck, Dashboard, Calendar etc. (don’t need separate Hidden section for all these because of the above point)

I think Trakt.tv doesn’t support any of this level of accuracy? Please consider

My stats would be much ore accurate if I could do all the above.

Well… Trakt is for what you watch not what you drop, haha.

If you drop a series halfway. You can just hid the hide button on the dashboard to hide it from the up next section… but I’m not really waiting on a “dropped” section. I think that’s stupid and time and resources are better spent elsewhere.

I personally have a list that I put movies/shows into that I have Dropped/Unfinished. For movies I write in the description the time I left off at. Works pretty well but I do wish there was a better way to track partial watches. I do know that the Kodi plugin syncs resume points but I do not know if it is stored on Trakt or in the plugin itself or if something like that could even be implemented. :man_shrugging:

It would be nice to have a way to hide an item from progress and calendar at the same time but it is pretty easy to do already. I could go ether way on that.

Maybe a Hide filter on the history page to hide completed shows would be simpler (right now you can only hide rated). With a way to unhide a show directly on the show’s page(for progress/calendar).

Also not pointing fingers but whomever flagged @lifeiscrazy, that was completely unnecessary.

Sure, when you are looking at your lists or while you are inside the list click the green edit button(the pencil) and you can add a description. You can add quite a bit of info, take this list by Rett. M for instance…

Pro-tip: If you decide to make a list for it. (which I see you did) Do everyone a favor and make it private.

Lists like the one linked by @arcreactor are informative, but stuff you drop is not of interest to anyone but yourself. So big generic lists are just polluting the popular list section. When creating a list you get the option to either create it as a private, friends only, or public list. If you forgot to change the toggle, you can edit it in the options.
