TMDB Migration: Treat empty TVDB episode name as equal to "Episode X" of TMDB

Discussions General

I try my best to support the TMDB Migration. I add missing seasons and episodes at TMDB or correct the first air dates, so that Trakt can migrate the series from TVDB to TMDB. So I migrated several series.

But it is annoying, that only / always English is compared, not the original language. Many german series do not have an english translation. TVDB shows then an empty episode name (and it allows to leave it empty), while TMDB sets the default “Episode X” (“Episode 1”, “Episode 2” …).

Examples:
https://trakt.tv/transition/tmdb/shows?trakt_id=74019
https://trakt.tv/transition/tmdb/shows?trakt_id=79013

PLEASE: Treat empty TVDB episode name as equal to “Episode X” of TMDB! This would help a lot to migrate non-english series.

Thanks, Oliver

The easiest thing is to email the shows that you find that are ready for migration to support - https://support.trakt.tv/. Most have to be manually triggered anyways. We were ending up with some issues on some of the auto-transition and have mostly eliminated that.

And some of those have air-dates that are just off that would also cause them to be blue. It’s the reds that are most important to be fixed.

I have transitioned the two you referred to.
