IMDb Title Subpage Redesign: FAQ & TV Episodes

@dunksta1b​ Please see the subthread above covering this (even though not tied to the episode/FAQ updates) -> https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-title-subpage-redesign-faq-tv-episodes/64c2ad8cc2f32a2d3175d7b3?commentId=64c75e466f817c2d94a30ac2 specifically:

Hope this helps. 

@dunksta1b​ Many users have had similar experience for many years with Chrome add-on "My Imdb". I'm very used to it. But with new interface the work of add-on was broken, and the developer don't want to finalize it.

@Col_Needham​ Unfortunately, that does not help at all. You cannot see the entire list with your vote highlighted, unless you're happy to click 'next' every 50 titles. What's more, for some reason "Rating" route shows EVERY TV episode separately which is annoying and unnecessary and you can't even uncheck this to show anything BUT separate episodes. That display was such a perfect solution and currently there is no feasible solution of comparable usefulness

@tomekrom​ 

Not sure why you're unable to remove TV episodes:

@bderoes​ Aren't you showing just TV series with Margot Robbie? I'm talking about showing everything from her EXCEPT single TV episodes

@HOSENOGGIN​

@ElsieTanner​ Hi! Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we have now reported it to team in charge, ticket reference #V1029471859.

Cheers!

Hi @ElsieTanner 

We're pleased to confirm that this issue has been resolved and episodes are now loading correctly.

Many thanks again for raising this, and apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

@Jayseph​ no problem can I also raise the fact on the app version you can only view seasons and not years. This is a particular problem for soap operas and other shows with no defined seasons and thousands of episodes.

So now the Top-rated episodes list is restricted to 10 titles?

Before we got a full search:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?sort=user_rating,desc&series=tt0096697

Now we get 10:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/episodes/?topRated=DESC&ref_=tt_eps_rhs_sm

@bderoes​  You can access all episodes by rating via the title/ratings page for the series, which includes a colour-coded "heat map" showing the best ones -- for example, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606375/ratings/  (see "Ratings by episode" towards the bottom of the page). 

In any case, we will flag this to the team as we could also add the old link at the end of the Top 10 shown via title/episodes.  Thanks for highlighting this. 

@Col_Needham​ Adding the ATS (series=) link would be great.

The chart on the ratings page gets unwieldy for long-running shows

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055708/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

and impossible for shows with no seasons

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12004060/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069658/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

@bderoes​ Thanks, those are helpful examples. 

@bderoes​  We are going to add a link to the same search as before on the top rated page after the initial 10 (a link which will be subtly different than your example above, it would be as before: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt0096697&view=simple&count=250&sort=user_rating,desc).  

Just working with the team on the priority and scheduling. 

@bderoes​ A little later than expected, sorry, but the "Top Rated" episode page now includes a "Show more" link which takes you directly to the associated advanced title search results.  For example, from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/episodes/?topRated=DESC

which leads to -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?count=250&series=tt4574334&sort=user_rating,desc 

@e8n2 

You may want to start using the Seen feature.

On the desktop version of IMDb, alter the URL of the series title page, replacing "title" with "seen". Then you can mark each episode as Seen if you don't want to rate it. Example:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/

becomes

https://www.imdb.com/seen/tt0096697/

@SM16vibez​ 

Col Needham indicates above that they will be adding back the link to the full list of episodes Top Rated, which could then be resorted by # of votes.

Meanwhile, you can do an Advanced Title Search, 

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?sort=user_rating,desc&series=tt0096697

where the last part of the url (&series=...) was added manually. The title id (tt...) appears in the series' url.

Shouldn't have to manually change the url.  It should have been left alone to begin with.  I could care less about top rated episodes.  I just want to see the episode number and have it in order and to have it change colors when I have looked at the episode.  I'm sure I am not the only one who feels that way!

Hi @valkyrslayer​ -

The issue was supposed to have been resolved, however, upon checking again now I am also still seeing the same display error and have raised another ticket for the appropriate team (#P100748058).

Thank You. I really hope this can get fixed. Its quite the annoying bug.

@Michelle  The issue still persists. The First 50 Episodes are ordered correct by date. But when you click load 50 more the order gets randomized again.

Example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2810310/episodes/?year=2022

Please see discussion beginning here:

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-title-subpage-redesign-faq-tv-episodes/64c2ad8cc2f32a2d3175d7b3?commentId=64f9571a2074f313ba229ee0&replyId=64f9791d2074f313ba22a2ba

ending (for now) with this post:

@lovebugsunnie​ 

Please see this postimmediately above.

@kandmentertainment​ 

Please see this post above.

@bderoes​ Thanks very much!

@frutillita32​ 

Please see this post above.

Hello @bondfool,

Thanks for your feedback! Currently, our team is exploring improvement options.  In the meantime, we have modified this post to an Idea so other community members can vote and IMDb staff can track interest.

Col Needham has responded to this complaint on the Episode changes announcement. 

Please see this post 

@jeorj_euler​ The "Top-rated" link provides the start of that view -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/episodes/?topRated=DESC  and then as referenced earlier in the thread, we are awaiting bandwidth from the team to add a link from that page directly to (in this case) https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt4158110&sort=user_rating,asc which itself can then be sorted via other orders, as above -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt4158110&sort=release_date,asc  (and more powerfully than before, easily filterable via other criteria too, for example, episodes by date but ONLY episodes with over 10K votes -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt4158110&sort=release_date,asc&num_votes=10000,). 

Why is it every time that I ask this question the message containing it disappears after a few years?

Sprinklr problem/question threads are subject to expiry following a multi-year period of inactivity -- this is because data, policies, user interfaces, and other aspects of IMDb are always changing, therefore, discussions of old issues can often become confusing to customers accessing IMDb today. Idea threads are not subject to this expiry (until implemented, of course). 

Hope this helps. 

Ah, okay. Thank you very much, Col.
