if youâre adding to your library, it needs to be through a third party app using the API, like plex/kodi or one of the apps like rippple/watcht etc.
you can also look on their roadmap to upvote one for library management or request it if there isnât one

Iâm a little confused as to why we need to file a feature request to re-implement something that was in the previous version of the site? Particularly when that feature had recently been updated in the last few months to include details like whether you had purchased it physically or digitally and what resolution it was in. That doesnât make sense to me.
i donât have a good answer for you. theyâre reworking the site and want to see what priority levels people put for various features and functions. they should have kept the feature the way it was but with a new codebase it may not be the same
I mean, I totally get doing a total ground up revamp, but feature parity is important before you cut over permanently,. My customers at the day job would riot if we ever did anything else. And if something has to specifically be retired, thereâs mandatory customer notifications well ahead of time with the sunset dateâŚ
the communication for the past year or so has been pretty bad
Issues with the new V3:
OkayâŚbut what about when the link to Plex is broken? Weâre given a reworked âCollectionâ in the form of a library, where we are to add to it via 3rd PartyâŚâPlexâ. Even provide us a setting for it. Only itâs a completely broken page.
I had the same issue, I made a gist. You can add episodes and movies to libray with your API since you are VIP.
It is really challenging to see my progress on seasons and shows with V3
I paid because I loved the feature-rich V2 experience. I too âdo everything manuallyâ, if that means when I watch something on my PVR I come to the website and find the episode and mark it as watched with the exact time I finished.
Before I found trakt I used an excel spreadsheet (which got very complex over time, but I like it). Because Iâve been badly burned before by very nice websites going bust and all my data disappearing, I still use my spreadsheet. But very little in V3 is nicer than the pre-trakt days. I loathe pixel-thin scrollbars which are almost impossible to use, for a start. They are obnoxious and hostile to the user who is trying to scroll. I want the browser and the UIâs scrollbars which I configure myself to be FAT and very easy to grab, like UIs have been for 30 years.
And this new-fangled âminimalâ style places useability and features a long way below what the designer thing looks pretty.
Iâve always loved seeing my stats and V3 has needlessly taken away several stats I liked seeing. I liked seeing how many episodes of a show Iâve watched and how many plays of that show Iâve watched. Now I have no clue how many plays I have for shows like The Simpsons and The Office that I wonât do a rewatch of, but Iâll just watch random episodes. Also, I liked seeing my total TV Plays and Movie plays that the old dashboard had. The time watched was interesting too. Now that is gone and the only thing I see is an estimate of how many TV episodes and movies Iâve watched. These may seem like small things, but it was one of the things I liked about Trakt and weâve lost it with this change to V3.
i couldâve sworn i replied to this but i donât see it now. ill just stick to the one thing i noticed the other day.
looks like this may have changed recently. for firefox i get fat scrollbars now
trakt=totals=statistics
for a site that has advertized such having V3 removed every single number is amazing.
no total numbers on anything, watchlists, shows, episodes, lists, reviews, calendar entries it is like you have removed every number from the site.
Who beta test V3 and said that is cool feature to remove?
Please bring back V2. V3 is clearly not ready. When I search, I canât seem to filter anymore and totally irrelevant things are shown first. No more notes on my lists - I relied on those for trigger warnings for movies on my watchlist. Lots of stats are missing and everything just feels so unintuitive. You know what your users liked and they are telling you clearly this isnât it. Please, listen to your users and at the very least roll this back until itâs actually functioning fullyâŚ
Another longtime VIP user echoing so many othersâ frustrations with v3, for the dozens if not hundreds of reasons others have laid out. Iâm not even a power user, but things like not being able to hide already-watched shows in my calendar (even though the button is there) is nowhere near the ânot forcing VIP users into v3 until itâs fully functionalâ that was quoted to us several months ago.
That all being said, I cannot find a way to to see what new shows are premiering. I get the weekly digest, which is great, but so many things change as the week goes on, as showsâ premier dates get changed, or new shows get added after the weekly email goes out.
Okay, so the âcontinue watchingâ area does not show % complete anymore, and the filter is useless. I want to be able to filter like before: number of episodes left, runtime left, etc. Am I missing something???
Probably everything has been said about the issues of v3, but still, here are two my biggest problems, maybe there is a solution that Iâm not aware of:
I have a VIP subscription until 2028, so Iâll stick around and see how v3 develops, but I will also be actively testing alternatives
Absolutely agree. Iâve been a VIP for 8 years, and I feel lost in this V3. Who even asked for a V3, anyway? V2 was just fine. Please give us the option to choose our preferred interface, at least in the web version.
Horizontal scrollbars are even worse, regardless of how fat they are.
Those scrollbars in your picture are way to thin and what I was complaining about. (For example, on this forum on this very page - too thin). I want my browerâs scrollbars for every website on the world wide web, permanently visible. I do NOT want each website to design their own, or make them disappear and force me into a stupid âhunt the scrollbarâ exercise where I have to guess where they are by moving the mouse around. (Gmailâs left-nav is a prime example of this idiocy. I loathe it).
Edit: Iâve just tried it and I still have the horrible disappearing scrollbars, which are half the size of the scrollbars here on the forum, which themselves are also way too thin.
@great_vc Very sadly, I donât think they decided, feature by feature, which ones to remove. I think they started from a blank sheet of paper, threw everything away that was working brilliantly which we all LOVED, and then decided which of the 20% of features to build from scratch for V3. Knowing this would be a huge change, then came the promises not to move us onto V3 until everything was properly implemented.
