Hi! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I wanted to make a post regarding a few feature requests:
1. Ability to turn off the ranked display for user favorites: Obviously we can do this with personal lists, but for the favorites list assigned to each user on their profile it would be great to be able to turn off the ranked numbers. I’d like to combine my favorite films and shows for this list, and having a ranked display makes it look a bit odd, in my opinion.
2. Actually hide blocked users’ comments: When you block a user’s comments on Trakt, their posts still show up under the pages for shows, seasons, episodes, etc… Sure, they’re noted as “blocked”, but are still visible, which kinda defeats the purpose of blocking. It would be great if they could actually be hidden, maybe like how shows are hidden from your progress, where you can go into your settings and unblock later if wanted.
3. Series finale markers: I noticed in an update a while back that markers were added for series premieres, season finales, season premieres. But not series finales, oddly, which are just lumped under the season finale label. A fix for this would be appreciated if possible.
4. Season background problem: There’s an issue I’ve noted with season backgrounds, which are sourced from fanart.tv. I’ve come across a few that are incorrect, like the person who uploaded them just chose a random season to label it under and unfortuantely that transfers over to Trakt. For example, the background for the first season of the show Atlanta is actually a character photo for the second season. Furthermore, the background for the second is just unofficial fanart, ironically based on a promotional image for the first. The show Halt and Catch Fire has this too, with the fourth season’s background being a cast shoot for the third. I’ve uploaded backgrounds with the correct season labels to fanart.tv myself in the past in an attempt to rectify this and despite them cumulatively collecting more votes than the aforementioned ones, the data doesn’t change with refreshes so it seems like the Trakt API doesn’t take fanart.tv votes into account? For reasons like the examples mentioned, I think it should, since it’s a little annoying to see objectively incorrect images for seasons.
5. Ratings bars for seasons and episodes: Noticed a while back that on the desktop site there’s a feature that allows users to click on the heart symbol/percentage and it directs to a chart totaling the ratings, but this is only for shows/films. When you click on the ratings percentage for seasons and episodes, there isn’t one, just a blank page basically. A fix for this would be great.
Thanks as always for all your hard work, Trakt is my favorite site for keeping track of the stuff I watch and I always enjoy providing feedback for stuff like this to better the user experience.
