Help CSV Import

[rtomagnini]

Hi guys,
I need some help understanding how to import a CSV file for my TV shows. I was able to create a new show from the file, but then I couldn't update it — for example, adding a poster. I also couldn’t create a season and/or add a new episode.

Here’s an example of my CSV:

media_id,source,media_type,title,status,season_number,episode_number,progress,image
3,"manual","tv","TV Show Test","In Progress","","","",""
3,"manual","season","","Completed",1,"",1,""

I go to:
Settings -> Import Data -> Yamtrack

But I always get the message: “No media was imported.”

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of In Progress, use In progress.

Thanks! I was able to import the show, season, and episode successfully.
However, the episode’s air date isn’t being imported or displayed. How can I include the air date during import?

Example csv:
media_id,source,media_type,title,image,season_number,episode_number,score,status,notes,start_date,end_date,progress
2,"manual","tv","Ticaracaticast","https://artworks.thetvdb.com/banners/v4/series/424074/posters/630efdb835523.jpg","","","","Completed","","2025-01-01","2025-01-01",""
2,"manual","season","Season 1","https://artworks.thetvdb.com/banners/v4/series/424074/posters/630efdb835523.jpg","1","","","Completed","","2025-01-01","2025-01-01",""
2,"manual","episode","Episode 1","https://artworks.thetvdb.com/banners/v4/series/424074/posters/630efdb835523.jpg","1","1","","Completed","","2025-01-01","2025-01-01",""

Yamtrack currently doesn't have a database table for metadata (air dates, synopsis, genres...), so for now you can't create any metadata for manual entries, only your tracking data (status, score, start date, end date...).

The start_date field is ignored for episodes, it's used for the other media types like movie, manga, games, books...
