How to import an watchlist into TMDB with a file?
Imdb has an option to export the watchlist, as cvs. Would be real good to be able to import it into TMDB.

That is great! (another thing I totally overlooked and could not find in the search).
Unfortunately it does not work with the IMDB csv format.

What would be an acceptable format for cvs import? Then I could edit the spreadsheet to match that.

It is possible that IMDB has changed the export format.
We only have the 3 IMDB file templates listed on your profile page.

Creating a spreadsheet should be possible.
As long as you follow the format of the examples on the page.

the current download does not match any of the other 3 formats for imdb. So it looks like imdb came up with a fourth version. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/gkCdpgn3/mismatch.png[/img]

I deleted the column "original title" so it matched imdb v3, and was able to import. :)

Yep, it work well, but i had to use google sheet instead of excel 2016/web to modified it. Thank for the tip :).. i am new here, but the user interface is so much better than imdb.
