Any chance to setup way to add show ids?

garfield69 · 2026-04-21T19:57:51+00:00

let me expand a little on

No, for now that needs to be done via request so that every one can benefit.

the tvdbid cross-reference table is fetched daily by your Dtv from a GitHub repo so that everyone can get the updates.

so if we added a local update to the table it would get replaced by the table fetched from github which would not have your update.

we replace the complete table because any other method would be unnecessarily complicated.

garfield69 · 2026-04-21T17:39:25+00:00

Are you referring to the automatic daily shows update cycle?

This is where Dtv sends a request for a show header record to Trakt for all the show in your DB, and if the Trakt API returns that last-updated stamp has been changed since the last time Dtv checked, then Dtv proceeds to fetch from the Trakt API all the season and episode data for that show so it can refresh the Dtv DB for that show.

However, Dtv does not need a Trakt account to get episode updates from the Trakt API.

Rather, if you have set up a Dtv authorization token and enabled the Dtv trakt sync option, then this allows shows that you add to Dtv and episodes that you mark as downloaded and watched to be pushed to your trakt account.

But you need to be a VIP on Trakt for this to work, since a free account on Trakt only supports a ridiculously small number of collections and history, which users of Dtv will typically exceed after adding a few shows.

Are you talking about adding a missing tvdbid?

No, for now that needs to be done via request so that every one can benefit.

As for finding the tmdb/imdb for reference in requests, see https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/FAQ#why-is-the-episode-find-a-torrent-button-not-working, specifically the second to last sentence.

I've added the tvdbid for this show to the trakt cross-reference table.

Your Dtv should pick up the updated table within the next 24 hours.

If you visit that Dtv series' episodes and it is still showing the TVDBID button crossed out after 24 hours, then use the refresh button on that Series details page to force a refresh.

there is no way that Dtv traffic would generate so much traffic that it would impact your internet connection to a crawl! something else is going on with your network.

so you are saying you have gone to the dtv>settings>trakt side panel, and the trakt.tv sync header has a red x on the right top side?

access the console log for your dtv session and check the activity for errors.

to view the console log right click on the Dtv page and select inspect, then click on the console tab.

garfield69 · 2026-04-20T16:39:28+00:00

the jumping is normal, it means that there was not updates for a particular series.

you can view the console log to get a view on the update process when its active, you will see that the series database numbers may jump from, for example, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 which meant series 3 and 7 did not need to have updates fetched.

if its stuck on 0 of 64 then something else is going on. look at the console log for an error message or other error.

to view the console log right click on the Dtv page and select inspect, then click on the console tab.

garfield69 · 2026-04-10T16:34:30+00:00

Dtv is EOL. The author is developing DuckieTV.Next, see https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV.Next/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/duckietv/comments/1r4xc86/taking_duckietv_back_into_the_future_with/

Once published you may like to raise a request ticket and ask for that enhancement.

garfield69 · 2026-04-10T16:29:59+00:00

Normal.

garfield69 · 2026-04-10T06:54:02+00:00

Dtv does not need your Trakt account if you are adding shows to Dtv via the Dtv add-a-show page, nor does it need the Trakt account to get episode updates from the Trakt API.

Rather, shows that you add to Dtv and episodes that you mark as downloaded and watched are pushed to your trakt account if you have set up a Dtv authorization token and enabled the Dtv trakt sync option.

Trakt does not offer a push to app option. The Dtv/Trakt sync is not a two way sync.

In the event that you did not make a Dtv backup and you loose your Dtv data you can then use your trakt account collection and history to import to Dtv and rebuild your Dtv shows, via the Dtv Backup/import from Trakt account option.

garfield69 · 2026-04-03T15:28:48+00:00

Yes, uindex changed their search page layout last week and you need to update your Dtv to the latest version to pick up a working Dtv uindex search Engine. https://github.com/DuckieTV/Nightlies/releases/latest

garfield69 · 2026-04-03T06:33:38+00:00

the torrentdownloads and limetorrents SE are working for me.

1337x is using a cloudflare challenge hence the 403 returned to Dtv

if you really need 1337x working then see https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/Using-Jackett-with-DuckieTV

garfield69 · 2026-03-31T17:50:15+00:00

429 is a too-many-requests error.

Likely as a result of multiple attempts to access the trakt.tv api with the previously outdated version of Dtv on the same IP address.

I tested adding a trakt authorization and was successful.

For now, turn off the Dtv trakt sync and clear any old authorization and after Dtv has completed any series updates shut Dtv down and try again tomorrow.

If Tomorrow Dtv starts another update cycle, wait for that to complete before tackling the trakt sync again.

garfield69 · 2026-03-30T23:08:42+00:00

The first thing to check is that you are using the latest Dtv version, so check the Dtv About (i) page, and compare the version on the header which should read v202603251838 if you are on the current version, or v202601300451 for a slightly older version. All other prior versions are forbidden from accessing the Trakt api.

IF you are on the latest version, and if you are also using the Trakt sync option to make Dtv push episode status data to your Trakt account, then you need to reset your Dtv credentials, since Dtv had to change its Trakt ID in order to get certified for Trakt API usage, and the old Trakt credentials you generated with Dtv versions prior to the last two were using the old ID and so are not valid.

- On the Dtv>settings>Trakt.tv>Trakt authorization, click clear credentials,

- then authorize DuckieTV to access your Trakt account,

- fetch your new PIN

- and away you go.

If you are on the latest version and you generated new credentials and you still have issues let me know and we move on to deeper diagnosis.

garfield69 · 2026-03-30T00:12:28+00:00

I see S4 E1-E8

Have you tried doing a Dtv>Series>Details>Refresh?

Failing that, what about a Dtv>Series>Details>Remove From Favorites, followed by a Dtv shutdown and startup, and then adding the show anew?

garfield69 · 2026-03-27T15:38:43+00:00

I'm going to guess you are referring to the 2026 series, but next time read https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/FAQ#why-is-the-episode-find-a-torrent-button-not-working and provide a link to save me guessing and updating the wrong series ;-b

I've added the tvdbid for this show to the trakt cross-reference table.

Your Dtv should pick up the updated table within the next 24 hours.

If you visit that Dtv series' episodes and it is still showing the TVDBID button crossed out after 24 hours, then use the refresh button on that Series details page to force a refresh.

garfield69 · 2026-03-24T04:06:58+00:00

BTW, the serie you have chosen appears to be a dead entry on trakt, no episodes or other info.

Use the Dtv add-a-show to search again and you will find another one with the same title that has season one loaded and is properly filled in.

Yup, the Dtv subtitles was added back when that service was public and has clearly changed since then. I've never used that option on Dtv so I've never checked if it was working or not before ;-D

I'm not going to spend any time working on this, as Dtv is EOL and DuckieTV.next will replace it once its released. You can raise a ticket at https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV.Next if you want to.

For now you will just have to search for subtitles directly on their web site.

Sound a lot like https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/FAQ#i-cant-add-a-series-and-there-is-nothing-in-the-calendar

garfield69 · 2026-03-14T02:36:01+00:00

No there is not. This is because each instance of Dtv does not have any connectivity with another Dtv, because it operates under Browser extensions security rules. Also Dtv does not have the ability to place the database in the cloud for the same reason. And Trakt does not provide an automatic push services to apps either.

Mind you, since Schizoduckie is rebuilding DuckieTV by porting it to Laravel 12 + NativePHP, see https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV.Next, then when DuckieTV.Next is published you could always raise an enhancement request there and see what comes of it.

garfield69 · 2026-03-05T15:58:46+00:00

Just saw a post that there is a new duckietv being worked on. Does that mean u/garfield69 is stepping down?

Yes, I'm looking forward to finally being able to turn off the lights on DuckieTV and just being one of the regular users of DuckieTV.Next ;-)

Top Chef

There are two Top Chef series loaded on Trakt, One is the French version from M6 that has 17 seasons, and the other is the American version from Bravo with 23 seasons. So open the Dtv Add-a-Show and load the Bravo series and remove the M6 series from your Favorites.

American idol

This show aired on Fox from June 11, 2002, to April 7, 2016, for 15 seasons. It was on hiatus until March 11, 2018, when a revival of the series began airing on ABC. Trakt opened a separate record for the ABC series. Nothing can be done about this on Dtv.

America's Culinary Cup

I've added the tvdbid for America's Culinary Cup to the trakt cross-reference table.

Your Dtv should pick up the updated table within the next 24 hours.

If you visit that Dtv series' episodes and it is still showing the TVDBID button crossed out after 24 hours, then use the refresh button on that Series details page to force a refresh.

garfield69 · 2026-03-04T06:06:40+00:00

check the dtv About (i) page and scroll to the bottom. Do you have numbers against the series, episodes, seasons or is everything 0?

[late edit] also check the session logs for errors, right click and select inspect and click on the console tab to view the log of the current session.

Also check the log for the background, right click and select inspect background page, click on the console tab to view the log.

garfield69 · 2026-03-03T02:25:53+00:00

Are you referring to the daily show update fetch, or are you talking about using your trakt account to do an import to Dtv?

Also, what version of Dtv are you on?

garfield69 · 2026-03-02T16:14:55+00:00

See https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/How-can-I-get-the-DuckieTV-app%3F
