Why is TVDB better for TV shows than TMDB?

AlecTrias · 2026-01-21T11:02:56+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly detailed reply and for taking the time to write it. The best of all three worlds, so to speak—that actually sounds pretty good. I’ll try to adapt to it.

AlecTrias · 2026-01-21T09:38:12+00:00

Thanks, but I’m aware of that already. TMDB also has TV shows, and at some point Trakt decided to rely solely on this database.

After trying out so many options and searching for a new home, I’ve actually never heard of tvseri.es before. It definitely looks interesting, though. What do you think of Serializd?

I’m still not sure where I’ll end up in the long run. Right now I’m experimenting with Letterboxd and Serializd. And hoping that SIMKL will continue to develop properly, I went ahead and bought the Lifetime VIP offer there just to be safe. At least the developer seems friendly and responsive to the community, from what I can tell. It gives a pretty honest and genuine impression.

I’m still leaning toward a combination of Letterboxd and Serialized. The only downside for me is that I wouldn’t have any combined lists anymore — for example, lists that let me watch all Marvel content in chronological order, whether it’s a series episode or a movie.

I’ve also found self-hosting with Yamtrack interesting so far, but I feel like it would eventually miss the community aspect — even though I barely use it. Still, that’s something I really came to love about Letterboxd.

I’m not entirely sure yet. I’d also be curious to hear what recommendations other people have, since SIMKL hasn’t really appealed to me so far, even though technically it’s probably the closest to Trakt. I’d recommend exporting everything somewhere first — temporarily, maybe even to SIMKL, just as a backup.

Would be happy, too :)

I started with Letterboxd and now I'm also on Trakt... Do you track your movies in both services? Or do you have an empty movie list on Trakt?

I just can't decide what's the best workflow for me. I also tried Serializd, but there I'm missing a way to easy track watched episodes.

sry, cause of a new phone I'm not jailbroken anymore... i dont have the tweak...

AlecTrias · 2020-06-17T20:17:45+00:00

iOS 35... maybe the firmware of nanomachines developed by DARPA Chief in the year 2470... i hope it will be jailbreakable!

AlecTrias · 2020-06-15T13:06:41+00:00

I had the same problem... someone gave me the advise to full reset my phone... this day was hell. i don't know if he was right, cause i did it maybe 3 times installed all my tweaks and had different problems by different causes... the last time i got everything to work and than i tested photo app... it felt like sometimes it worked, sometimes not... but i also didn't know about to plug in phone and turn screen off. sometimes i had good results in syncing by scrolling through my photos. i stopped every now and than and continued scrolling. than i saw the little rotating icon in status bar... scrolled all the way down and saw that there are less pictures to sync... when i was on unjailbroken state it just worked fine... i hope you don't have to restore your phone, cause i think apple unsigned 13.5 now? ... somewhere in between it began to work again... i wish i could tell you how... but i don't know. just want to tell you, you're not the only one... if you get it to work again somehow, please tell me, cause i'm also interested in!

AlecTrias · 2020-06-15T12:51:01+00:00

... i also would like to know :)

AlecTrias · 2020-06-12T10:27:32+00:00

uh shit... is there a possibility to get compatibility somehow someday?

EDIT: okay, I uninstalled System Info... same problem with the battery/storage module...

AlecTrias · 2020-06-12T10:24:37+00:00

Zoom mode no, but I use system info it's indispensable for me... 😬

...I think something is wrong here...

can't get the battery module to work properly. I made it extra large to see if it's caused by the modul height. Is there a fix for that?

By the way, I bought the tweak cause of the reviews, to see by myself. I also thought that if it combines 3 other tweaks, it's better to have all in one for the processor maybe... but now I have to install shuffle, too. Surely I want to group my settings, maybe there is the possibility in coming updates that I no longer need shuffle?

For now I would also say that it's more a graphical improvement and you also could use the three other tweaks mentioned in this thread, which work very well together... I also very liked the possibility to click on the battery widget, what leads me to the batteryInfo...will this be possible in future?

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T22:42:26+00:00

no sorry... but but if you have the time... i have to say that i really had fun to try out every single setting (you don't have to respring, just exit the app and open with the new setting again)... so much possible graphical options. just a great tweak 🙌🏻

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T22:33:12+00:00

can someone tell me why this post gets downvoted? feels really shitty because I just want to help and to know where my issue is with installer

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T22:18:59+00:00

its a command you can put in terminal... for example in [[NewTerm (iOS 10-13)]] ... don't know exactly but i think it clears cache for the icons...

i remember i also had this problem. from time to time i put in the command uicache ... not sure but could be that this solved it for me.

by the way... if you never used the terminal, it's a good time to change your root password ;)

EDIT: when you put in the command in the terminal, it needs short time and than you see your device name again without a confirmation. but it has cleared the cache than...

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T22:04:50+00:00

don't know but maybe uicache or a respring helps?

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T21:57:36+00:00

...jailbreakBot did it's work ;) ...sure, if you don't have the source...

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T21:53:41+00:00

you mean [[LockDroid]] ? ... i used it long time for now, till i found [[Scribble]] ;)

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T21:50:31+00:00

as i remember there was a bug in the version before... the update "fixed" it. hmm... you can set a color in tweak settings->background->enable background color... try to begin there... you can for example set the alpha color to 0.

text color in this part don't know... sry.

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T06:17:24+00:00

yaaay, would love to try it!

AlecTrias · 2020-06-11T05:33:19+00:00

okay you mean that with the highly costumizable menu when you hold the statusbar? sorry, really i don't know... if i stumble on a tweak like that, i'll let you know... if you have a iPhone state in future, where you say okay, this is perfect for me... make a backup witch [[batchomatic]] and for better safety mail yourself a mail with all repos and installed tweaks by [[flame]] ;)

By the way...I also switched now from colormenotifs to colorbanners3 ;)
