#### Titles are now showing up when you search for them but they are on trakt. If you go through the actor then the titles are listed and you can add them to watchlist or watched. Same goes for some actors they do not show up when you search for them on trakt but if you go through the movie or series they’re in than they show up and you can see all they’re in. I should add all of these are on tmdb with imdb ids.

Examples of series:

Marry a ceo

> When Gu Nian's family faces a financial crisis, his father and stepmother pressure him to marry the daughter of the Wang family. To sabotage the arranged marriage, Nian picks up a scruffy homeless man, Lin Xiao, from the streets and claims he is his...

Dangerously sweet

> Shirase Yuu, an ordinary office worker, spends a drunken one night in the wrong hotel room with Kuroda Kou, a rich heir, during a business trip. The next morning, Yuu runs out of the room from embarrassment, but ends up running into Kou at a hospital...

Movies:

> When an apparel designer returns home after studying in New York, he begins living with the company president and his two sons.

There way more than the ones I listed that doesn’t show up in search but shows up under the actor, although the ones I haven’t listed doesn’t have imdb ids but they’re still on trakt I’m guessing cause they have tvdb ids.

Then there’s some that doesn’t show up at all cause I can’t find the actors and it doesn’t show up in search but has imdb ids also some that doesn’t update on trakt after it’s been updated on tmdb even though it’s been more than 24 hours

In the search box, you can search by IMDB or TMDB ID directly. Do any of them show up when searching by those IDs?

Came here to report the same thing for The Jackie Gleason Show from 1952 but it does work if I search for the IMDB ID directly.
