How to import an watchlist into TMDB with a file?

Imdb has an option to export the watchlist, as cvs. Would be real good to be able to import it into TMDB.

See instructions on this page of your profile.

That is great! (another thing I totally overlooked and could not find in the search).

Unfortunately it does not work with the IMDB csv format.

What would be an acceptable format for cvs import? Then I could edit the spreadsheet to match that.

It is possible that IMDB has changed the export format.
We only have the 3 IMDB file templates listed on your profile page.

Creating a spreadsheet should be possible.
As long as you follow the format of the examples on the page.

the current download does not match any of the other 3 formats for imdb. So it looks like imdb came up with a fourth version. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/gkCdpgn3/mismatch.png[/img]

I deleted the column "original title" so it matched imdb v3, and was able to import. :)
