It looks like you were you trying to import to your rated list. In the file you gave me, only a small number of items had a rating, so I'm betting that's it. I can only import items that have a rating entered to your rated list. Items without a rating would be skipped for that list. Watchlist and favourite lists don't have that limitation of course.

I can add some more information about that in the status report to make it more clear why the skipped items were skipped.

@travisbell I sent you an email with the Simkl csv update.

Thanks @BlackSpirits. Simkl support is now live, you should be able to import that file.

After exporting and receiving the e-mail, the attached file that I receive is completely empty except for: "TMDb ID,IMDb ID,Type,Name,Release Date,Season Number,Episode Number,Rating,Your Rating,Date Rated"

Something wrong?

I'll have to take a look, all of my testing has yielded the proper files. Give me a few. I'd like to verify which list you were exporting, was it your ratings?

It was my watchlist. Thank you for checking on it!

Hi @AndryX7 Give it a try now, I found the issue with the watchlist export.

We already support importing IMDb CSV's. Head over to the List Import page.

Letterboxd import is impossible since they don't include IDs in their exports (at least that was the case last time someone asked and gave me an export, that may have changed). Simkl might be possible, no one has ever asked/sent me an example CSV. Do you have one handy you can send me?

With regards to exporting, this was actually on deck for me this week. I am still hoping to start it later today.

it it possible to import to letterboxd in the meantime? I found this on the matter https://letterboxd.com/about/importing-data/ -> but how do I export data from TMDB?

Lists
Let's divide it into 2 groups:

  • Default Lists (The 3 lists: Favorites, Ratings and Watchlist).
  • Custom Lists (user-created lists)

Default Lists
Import - Data can be imported into these lists.
See instructions here https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/import-list
Export - It is now possible to export.
Once on the List page, click on the Gray Round Button with the ellipsis next to the list title.

Custom Lists
Import - It is not yet possible to import data into these lists.
It is part of the plans to implement this feature. See the To-Do list and vote if you wish.

Export - It is not possible to export these lists.
I believe that it is part of the plans to implement this resource.
See here https://trello.com/c/L9JQeQv3/4-allow-users-to-export-their-lists

Watchlists, ratings and favourites can be exported. Just click the three dots icon. See here. It's the custom lists that don't have an export option yet. slight_smile

I didn't know about the news. I will correct my answer.

thanks so much @travisbell & @ticao2 !

@travisbell Any update on Custom List Import/Export?

We finally got the list system migrated to the new infrastructure back in November. This is what had to happen to allow us to create the import/export. Just need to prioritize it now.

I’d guess you should see this in the next 2-3 months.

Wanted to check in on this and see if there's been any progress made toward it (exporting .csv for custom lists)
