📚 Update on Physical Library Handling

Announcements

on the v2 site you can filter your library to only show items missing metadata. i’ve used that to go through some of mine and fill in data

48

I don’t understand this. I have 431 items in my library, all digitally purchased from various stores like Amazon, Google, and so on. I’m not interested in the resolution; some are Full HD, others are 4K.

These items belong in my library because I own them. They should stay there. That’s exactly why I use Trakt — to track what I’ve collected & watched.

I have zero interest in editing or touching these 431 items.

It feels like you’re restricting these features just so people don’t misuse the library, in order to push your VIP program.

And no, I will not accept my items being moved/converted to a regular list.

They belong in my library, and I expect them to stay there as they are.

  1. I have over 1,000 physical media items, do I need to reach out to support for a larger limit?
  2. Would it be possible to add 4K Blu-ray as one of the format options?
  3. Many movies I own have multiple formats such as 3D+Blu-ray, could support be added for logging more than one format for a given item?

Hope it will be a 1 click soon, I can’t keep doing 4 or 5 clicks each time

Justin will be looking at this one soon. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks!

Hi, please see my post Format+resolution Mandatory coupled with date. WHY? for a detailed objection on how this is handled on V2, the bugs in it and suggestions for improvements. To be clear: I’m not opposed to it, but it clearly has some problems, especially with the handling of dates added.

I also made a more thought out post on roadmap.trakt.Tv :”New metadata implementation needs changes”. (actually this post is better detailed and has more suggestions).

Where … and how do you add things to the library now? I see no way to add or remove things using the new app web layout? I can see a library, but not add anything anymore.

currently you can’t add or remove from the library manually. it’s only taking library syncs from media centers until they figure out what they want to do with the library. their goal is to make the library actionable (ie clicking play and it launching the service that has it) instead of just another list of things you own

have you tried the export tool on v3? that’s the tool they’re recommending people use now instead of anything on v3

68

What does the V3 export tool have to do with adding / deleting items from the Library? I am confused. ELI5.

All we want is an update from Trakt staff what the future is for this seeing as we all know the planned obsolescence date for V2 is rapidly approaching.

the last major post he was asking about exports and errors he was receiving. he hasn’t gotten any feedback since which is why he’s constantly asking if anyone is here. Kevin said they’re still figuring out what they want for the library but for now with v3 its only connected with media centers for adding and removing from the library. I understand you want updates from Trakt staff but that doesn’t stop me from trying to help where I can.

So I’ve been forced onto V3 a couple of days ago, saw that my default library view is empty because it’s some Plex integration whatever thing I will never use. Saw that my collection is one click further away as a “custom” library. Fine.

I got some new blurays, want to add them to my library.

  • How can I add them to my “custom” library?
  • How can I add the metadata (format, resolution, audio channels etc.)?
  • How can I filter anything anymore?

From what I see, currently none of that is possible. Why?

I buy 2-3 blurays a week, how should I keep up with it, now that I don’t know how to add them to my library?

Thanks.

the only way to add to your library now is using third party apps, media center integrations, or their other first party apps like rippple or watcht

72

It’s ri-di-cu-lous!

Thanks for the answer.

if you use ios, at least as a vip rippple premium is free/included that gives all the functionality that app has

74

I don’t, thanks for the info though.

i have open a question on this

How do we add in library the episodes now in V3.

Sometimes sonarrr does not connect, and i used to do that manually. In the very easy way.

This was removed on purposed? is it comming back?

Since we have a limit on library items it should be reasonable to have an option to remove or add one.
