Migration tool FMTV

sorry I'm not a Dutch speaker, if you are asking if the shows you are missing can be added, I can look at getting to it next week when I'm back off vacation :). Welcome to the site by the way!

Hoi Wielandt,

Een deel van de staff is inderdaad Nederlands, maar wij appreciëren het als je Engels kon gebruiken aangezien dat ons voertaal is.

Er is inderdaad een kans dat de serie niet wordt herkend bij de importer vanwege bepaalde dingen of de serie is gewoonweg nog niet in onze database. Voor momenteel moeten deze afleveringen helaas handmatig worden ingevoerd.

Je kan altijd de watchlist gebruiken rechtsbovenin bij je naam (arrow down) om te kijken of een paar van deze series nog afleveringen open hebben staan die je al gekeken hebt.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Thomas

Ok, I will use engelish from now. :)

I have added all the missing shows from my screenshot last night. :)
But I have another question.

Sometimes, when I add a new show, the episodes are imported from te database (thetvdb.com)
But sometimes, they aren't imported. What's the reason behind this?

Do I need to manually add every episode? (sometimes much work) or do you have a special tool to import this episodes in your database if I give the specific URL?

As the others said, some of the shows you were following simply don't exist on TVmaze yet, in which case they can't be imported. But there's a second problem as well; some of the shows appear to have incorrect data over at followmytv. For example The Strain is linked to http://thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=271420, obviously not the correct show.

In those cases the import will fail and you'll have to mark the episodes manually. Be sure to check out the Watch List (at http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/20/the-strain/episodes, click on the Watch List button) where you can mark episodes as watched in bulk!

We have a tool that speeds up adding episodes based on the thetvdb episode list, but it's not an automatic process, it has to be done manually. It could be that the person handling your request forgot to do so, or it could be that the data on thetvdb.com is malformed, which happens every now and then. If you have any specific examples, feel free to report them in the Edit Requests thread and we can let you know. :)

Because I was contacted on "tweakers.net" in dutch, I suppose I can talk in Dutch here?
Allereerst wil ik jullie hartelijk bedanken voor de migratie tool voor FMTV te updaten :)
Via volgende link kan je een screenshot zien van het resultaat van de import:
screenshot Migratie FMTV
Je kan dus zien dat 3673 watched episodes toegevoegd zijn. (dat is al heel wat, bedankt!!!)
Maar ik zie op mijn FMTV acc dat ik eigenlijk 5427 watched episodes heb..
Dit wil dus zeggen dat er 1754 epi's niet toegevoegd zijn.

Zijn dit dan allemaal episodes van de shows die niet geïmporteerd zijn? (lijkt me vrij veel voor de 39 shows)
Ik zie ook dat bv "the strain" niet geïmporteerd is van FMTV maar toch bestaat in jullie database, is hier een oplossing voor?
Wat raden jullie me aan?
PS: is de volledige crew hier Nederlandstalig (zoals met FMTV ook het geval was), of zou ik beter mijn communicatie in het Engels laten verlopen?

Alvast bedankt,
MVG
Wieland

Hi Wieland!

If you have any shows where you'd like to see the episodes added, you can always ask me to do them (here in the Forum or on Facebook) and I'm happy to help you :-)

Greetz!
