#METAMOVIE PROVIDER TRAKT OR TMDB MOVIE#
What this means to me as a user is that Trakt provides me the following per movie and/or show/episode entity. Many of you here understand databases, so it is clear that Trakt is providing basically a secondary set of tables for user data only, second to the tables of data maintained at TMDB and TVDB that are import changeable only. You only populate movies and shows from TMDB and TVDB only, all data needs to be entered there to import to Trakt. Additionally, they maintain a limited database. Importing and exporting are limited to free accounts, but I believe with the API, you can get around it somewhat. The free portion is adequate for most things assuming you can deal with the ads. Straight away, they are a freemium service. I chose Trakt for bad reasons, but I continue to use it for good reasons. Currently I use Trakt, which does have an API. Here at TMDB I can import from IMDB things like ratings, but I do not use IMDB. One struggle I have is there are many places to track things. This has been sitting a while so I Wanted to keep it current and add more detail. Is this something that is already possible, and if not, is this something that could be done? Plus, as you are an open system, access to my data is not an issue here.
#METAMOVIE PROVIDER TRAKT OR TMDB CODE#
I believe all I would need is the availability and code to to sync list data as it is done there, and I could just use TMDB for all and reduce problems. It makes me question the need for such a thing vs just going direct, meaning here.

You can import the data, but when data is changed here, it is not always applied there. I know that Trakt is nothing but a duplication of the data here, which is where the problem is.

Without getting into the details, I have seen it first hand lose track of a watched status when the watched mark was placed on a duplicate before it was removed as an example of issues. The most common issue is duplicate movie entities, where you can report a data duplication, but data ends up lost during the "fix".

The problem I have is data integrity there, and a lacking of a way to control the data I enter. That is about all I use it for, I really have no need or interest in any other things. I have been using Trakt to keep track of what I have in my collection and what I have watched. Is there a method to use those lists in a way that Trakt does ()? Here is why I am asking if it may help answer. I see there is an option to create lists and a watch list.
