Ted's Notebook and data coming from TVDB

Trakt Questions & Help
1

The metadata for this show, I assumed was taken from TMDB rather than TVDB (all Google searches say this). From what I can see, the data for this show is being taken from TVDB and not TMDB.

Am I wrong as I do the updates for the show on TMDB. For instance, TMDB for the 2024 Season (Episode 2) I put people in it that are not showing up on Trakt.

If you are taking from TVDB from now on, then I will only update that rather than TMDB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

Looking at the data right now this show is indeed using TVDB as it’s datasource, but the data on TMDB is good enough to migrate, so I’ll do that now. I’ll inform you once the page is fully migrated.

This show wasn’t migrated previously because the seasons don’t fully match up between TMDB & TVDB.

  1. TVDB uses years as season numbers while TMDB uses regular season numbers (easily fixable)
  2. Episode count doesn’t fully align. For some seasons TMDB has extra episodes and in other seasons TVDB has extra episodes.
  3. The ‘The Shutdown Notebook’-episodes are not listed on TMDB while they appear as specials on TVDB (I know Trakt can ‘ignore’ this and just lock the specials)

I’ve migrated this show to TMDB.
I kept the specials season since it seems to be good data and moved some episodes that TMDB still didn’t have. The TVDB year seasons were merged with the numbered TMDB seasons, so the data should match TMDB with a few extra episodes that were TVDB only.
I noticed you were the one who reported this show yesterday, but I had only corrected the duplicated episodes since it had data from TMDB and TVDB at the time. From now on, this show will only get data from TMDB.

Thanks for reporting and for keeping TMDB up to date!

I am trying my hardest to make the two match.

I have now added the specials for The ‘Shutdown’ Notebook on TMDB so if it makes it any easier for you then feel free to do that.

Thank you so much for your time on this.
