Question about the 100 items limit

Hi, Will the list above the 100 items limit be removed? Do I need to remove items until I get below the limit?

No, lists over 100 items won’t be removed.

You will get to keep them, but you won’t be able to add any items to that list until there’s under 100 items.

“because the main purpose of it for me is to make sure that if some old series pop new season, I’ll know about it.”
Let me just understand this. If you watched an old show and a new season came up, it will show up normally in your up next and calendar. This has nothing to do with the lists limit, you can mark as many items as watched as you want.

So, how would you not know about that? How were you using the lists feature?

I think you’re mistaken about the meaning of your watchlist. You watchlist is for things you want to see, not for things you saw. You don’t need to add everything you see to your watchlist, just mark it as watched (“add to history”). And if a new season/episode comes out, it will show up on your calendar and up next.

I kinda get it, I just don’t know if you are using the list for the intended purpose.

The “watchlist” is used for things you have not watched yet, it’s more like a ‘plan to watch’ list. The things you already watched, you mark them as “watched” and they show up in your history.
Your history is unlimited and every time something you watched release a new season, it shows up in your progress section and in your calendar, so you don’t need any lists to keep track of that.

If you mark the last episode or season of the old series as watched, it should show up in your next up and calendar if a new season ever appears. Watched episodes aren’t subject to a count.

(Just saw that I repeated what was already said!)

that’s not how watch list works. since the beginning of time as soon as you mark an episode or movie as watched, it will remove automatically from watch list as intended. That’s just how it was meant to work. it’s not about if you finish a series, it’s about as soon as you mark an item as watched.

That issue isn’t really isn’t an issue.

many users kept telling you this, but you keep ignoring it. the watchlist is working as intended. no need for any popups. if you want items to not remove, then you probably want to go with the adding it to a personal custom list approach.

the only issue you still have would be the watchlist, collection, and personal lists are limited to 100 items max (2 lists max can be created)

You can mass delete everything from your watchlist and just start over. I bet it consists mostly of watched show now anyway! That’ll save you a lot of manual work.

I don’t remember how though. But im pretty sure @justin told me. On the old forums I think.

Ohh found it;

But you still have your watched history? You watchlist is only for stuff you haven’t seen yet, but want to start soon :tm:
Your not actually using your watched history. But of course, you do you! :stuck_out_tongue:

yes it will… Trakt calendar pulls items from watch list, collection, and watched history

again, i think you’re getting confused between watched history and watch list. your logic of keep adding them back into watch list even after you watch an episode or series makes no sense as it would already be added into watched history.

i’m not telling you how to use it just stating the difference between watched history and watch list. it’s redundant to have items already in your watched history AND watchlist. if you remove items from your watchlist if you’ve already watched it, then it would reduce your number of items in your watchlist.

but again, if that still doesn’t help then sorry it doesn’t help.

Unfortunately this 100 items per lists has made the free account from trakt pretty unusable, especially the ‘collections’ which over the years I have used trakt has grown to over 3000 items. Using the app TV Guides, connected to trakt before they had their own android app all items you ‘add for watching’ were automatically ‘added to collection’ meaning I now have over 3000 items collected xD

My anime list was also over 100 items which I now forcefully had to reduce to 99 items of only the animes I had not yet watched creating seperate watchlists of all genres just to keep the shows I wanted to watch.

My regular watchlist is over 300 items being both shows and movies, I am unable to add new stuff during my netflix browsing to my watchlist now due to this restriction. I’m not entirely certain what the added value of this other than trying to ‘force’ people to upgrade to use VIP can be. But I am dissapointed that it has come to this. All the other restrictions have always been perfectly acceptable, seeing stats, having more sorting options, all those fancy things people can use if they wish to pay. But this list restriction is rediculous and will make me look for other platforms to start logging my watched status.

If you have watched any previous episodes of a series, it is in your watched history and will appear in next up and calendar. Watched history has no limits. Keeping it in your watchlist is unnecessary.

Why are you talking about gargling your hairy *****?? It’s your fault you went “Oh it’s called watchlist, so it must be for things I watched :nerd_face::point_up:”

33

Absolutely not. It’s scary how many people follow this logic. A watchlist is for things you want to watch. Of course it’s going to fill up quickly if you use it for everything you watch instead. Why do you think it automatically removes items when you add them to your history?

You can, but you should add them to your history, not your watchlist. If there was a 100 item limit of things you watched (even movies and individual episodes) then that would make Trakt completely useless (I still think they made a horrible decision by limiting the watchlist and lists).

You’re still getting it wrong. Watchlist should be for things you’ve never watched. If you’ve watched a series, it’s in your watch history without limits. Also, counting episodes instead of a series was/is a bug and should have been/will be corrected.

Quite a puzzling use of the Watchlist feature. What purpose do you find using the default Watchlist this way serves that the ‘Progress’ tab doesn’t provide you?

Unless you’re not aware the ‘Progress’ tab exists and how it can be sorted and filtered…
