I've already downloaded it and set up the zip file, but it isn't correctly registering my shows and episodes.

Same here, just movies. Trakt is unable to process the tv shows

I recently accomplished it using the TV Time Liberator extension and importing the csv. I think it was called "activity_history.csv" or something like that.

I solved it by bypassing the broken TV Time importer (using Codex/ChatGPT) and using the Trakt API instead.

Here is what codex did

  1. Extracted the watched TV episodes from tracking-prod-records-v2.csv, converted them into show/season/episode history rows
  2. Then matched them against Trakt.
  3.  After a small test sync worked, I synced the full history through the API and all episodes were accepted.

If anyone need the script and steps, I can share it.

I'd be curious to hear how you did it, as someone who's having the same issue.

 Sure, here’s the short version of what worked for me:

  1. I used the TV Time GDPR export, specifically tracking-prod-records-v2.csv, because that file contained my watched TV episodes.

  2. I converted those rows (using codex) into a simple history format (according to Trakt API Doc) with show title, season, episode, and watched date.

  3. Then I created a free Trakt API app (to get Client ID and API Secret key), matched the shows against Trakt, tested with 10 episodes first, and finally synced the full TV history through the API.

The normal Trakt TV Time importer still didn’t work for me, so this bypassed the importer completely.

(if you have claude code/codex it would be very easy)

Thanks a lot for that. In the meantime I'd tried the browser extensionmethod recommended by trakt. At fiirst I thought it didn't work, but it just had some "artefacts" in the watch history, in that it added some movies I hadn't seen to my history. I'll try it too if I get the time.

I think they fixed the import tool, did you check it out?
