This has been fixed now. Not an intended change. Sorry about that.

Not totally fixed , even if idont wanna use the new v3 with totally sucks,

The still seems having mayor bugg.

  • list, not showing upp my list in search
  • not adding more than 1000 items.
    And yes I’m I vip user, so 1000 items shouldn’t affect me, but it does.
    Best regards

The API bug has been fixed.
Your issues are different.

What search? The Lists search searches all Lists on Trakt, it’s not a search amongst your own lists (yet). I just want to make sure we’re on the same page here. Please give me more info about what you are trying to do and where.

Where? In Lists? What list? Can you give me more? Thanks!

You are not affected by VIP limits here, that’s true. But there are technical limits you are hitting because of the amount of things you are trying to create.
For instance, our database may be okay with storing 1000 lists but the API and any frontend, first-party or third-party, may have difficulties synching that many lists with that many items.
Anyway, 1000 items on one list shouldn’t be an issue but also, is a list with more than 1000 items useful for you or others? When you start having more than 1000 lists with more than one with 1000 items, you start hitting technical limits to sync, manage, and display.

The reason for adding to list is

  1. I want all episodes I watched showing those blue, green, purple/ pink

  2. Some series like pointless have a hell of lot more episodes then 1000. And I like to see in lists both what’s done and left. I know you can do that on progress. But…..

  3. Reason for 2000+ list I like to have my dvd collection folders in disc order, that way it is easy to find what disc a certain episode is on, easier way to find that favorite episode I might wanna rewatch. Can go straight to disc instead of a hard search

  4. Have seen people(other users have episodes watched in xxxx. Got crazy not seeing any use for just list with episodes no seasonheads I considered it both as unnecessary, pointless, useless i could use them for copying. Haven’t seen the purpose for it until recently.. and just started to see if can find the use for it.

Hope this explains why does lists are useful for me.


When doing this

You are what I call a completionist :grin:

Okay, I understand. You have a system that works for you to keep track of alternate episode orders which progress doesn’t provide.

Again, this could be solved with alternate oder, would you agree?
Maintaining 2000+ lists with that much episodes in them is a lot of work. It may be best to store that information as an alternate order instead of a custom list :face_with_monocle:
I also see you use notes extensively. Maybe you can use notes on the history page instead, or at the Library level to keep track of where the show/season/episode actually is in your library (room, shelve,…).
I’m just trying to understand your use case to better guide you through a more sustainable solution. I’m not trying to push you to change your system but I’m foreseeing issues with technical limits.

I understand your point of view.

IE. Limits , which means are not unlimited as

Trakt vip features say

And because of V.3 = which doesn’t show my notes and list. If using v.3 without my notes showing up I can be a non vip user

Again, I appreciate how heavily you’re using the “Unlimited” parts of Trakt’s offering. It’s great to see users get value out of Trakt.

That said, I want to repeat and clarify something important. “Unlimited” means we don’t enforce an arbitrary caps for normal use, no matter if free or VIP. It doesn’t mean infinite infrastructure or unrestricted activity. There are real technical limits behind the scenes. We also have an obligation to keep the platform stable and fair for everyone.

Right now your usage is hitting levels that fall outside what we consider standard personal use. When that happens, it can impact performance and reliability for you and for other users.

We’re currently finalizing and documenting a Fair Use Policy to make this clearer for everyone. In the meantime, I’m asking you questions to see how we can scale back your usage to a more typical level.

My point: let’s talk, there’s probably a different setup that makes more sense. If you feel like what we’re asking is pushing you toward a free plan and you can work with that, that’s also okay.

Thanks for understanding.

@Ohifriend

If trakt can’t handle that then the whole trakt is unfair
Against me. The vip features I’m interested in is unlimited
Notes and list

Don’t care don’t need plex integration,
Max, Netflix, paramount, Hulu, automatic scrobble
Since they are only adjusted to US and 95% gives wrong time. Always 02:00 CET
So these vip benefits are useless for me

Notes and lists are 1000% useful for me 40% of the reason to have trakt
Other 60% is to have as good Acuracy(?) on time when watched something the whole reason and trakts godmode
Best regards

Ds of course you can’t have precise data and time for what you have seen before trakt. If not having big a personal database somewhere else

Like I have some notes on my collection but they are lacking information. Especially precise information like

This ex.

”Köpt på Tradera Torsdag 25/12-2025 för 304kr klockan 22:20 Seller: Fiona44 - (Elinor Sofia Åström)” bought on … Thursday… for xxkr time, from person in this case.

@kcador

Have deleted most of the list that where my backup lists. But are prevented to much more because I can’t see them.

This bugg is still not fixed.

And is prevented from changing format and resolution in libary, items I have marked as dvd/bluray still says no format/ no resolution
Witch means editing is looked even on website not only iOS apps

Not good.
