Question: movies not found on trakt: how to see list?

[skrivskithar]

Let me start by saying THANK YOU for this amazing tool.

I am using the CSV method to sync my watched/watchlist to trakt, and I noticed the program mentions some movies not found. I know there's a log, but it's very complicated to read. Is there a way to get a list of these missing ones so that I can manually track them?

You can quite easily search the log using Notepad++ or any other decent text editor. I can't remember the exact error message that is used when an item isn't found, but if it's "not found" for example in Notepad++ if you search for that you will get a list of all the lines that have that phrase in, and that'll be the exact list you need. You can then easily cut and paste that, and edit it down to make a new CSV if you wanted to.

For quite a few movies I had to rename them manually in the CSV and re-run. Many movies have alternative titles, from various different markets and are known by more than one title. Inevitably, TrakTV and the other places very often don't agree on which is the "main" title for one of those movies.

If you search for not found the previous DEBG line will have the items it didn't find.

If you're familiar with multi cursors in VS Code, select all the "not_found" and copy from there to the end of the line into a new file. The ones with failures will stick out.
