Please post the first 4 lines of your .CSV file here.
The first from the header and 3 more with the movie data.
Or else a Link to the .CSV file.

From the Letterboxd it is impossible to import.
His .CSV has no IMDB ID.

what a pity. thank you anyway

Can this be submitted as feedback or a feature request, so Letterboxd .CSV files can be imported? I just ran into the same exact issue as the original poster.

I believe some Letterboxd users have already made this request to Letterboxd admins.
If and when Letterboxd adds the IMDB ID to the exported .CSV I think it will be easy for our admin Travis Bell to create the code for the import.

Oh ok, thank you.

P.S. it doesn't have to be an IMDb ID. Since Letterboxd uses TMDB, it's actually preferable to be TMDB, it's just that we need an ID to match.
