Import movies/shows from another account
Add the ability to import in your account history, from another account on trakt, the selected movies/shows/episodes with the same watch date and the same votes.

I don’t see a huge use case for this, but I’ll add to researching to revisit in the future.

Would love to import a CSV. I have tons of data from TV Time that I'd consider using Trakt in the future on, but not unless i can import.

4 years later and still researching :( i have been using followmy.tv for years so transferring that data over to trakt manually would take forever :/ i guess i wont be using trakt .

How about importing from a CSV file? You defined the require format and I'll get the data. Want to import my NetFlix watches for movies over the last 15 years.

My partner and I have used trakt together for a number of years and spent a long time watching shows and movies together. However, we recently split up and were in a ridiculous position of having only one shared trakt account. Is would be useful if it were possible to split our account or export the progress to a new account..

I'm a non premium user and i want to create a brand new account, but i can't because i don't want to search and add all my watched items one by one, including ratings.
I am already looking for a local app like, e.g., "Episodes" for Android to store my lists locally, I'd love to stay on trakt, but this is too big a deal for me and i can't pay a premium account only to be able to export my lists. Also, if i get hacked and i lose my email accounts or something like that, i can't restore from a backup.

It could be useful in two cases:
[1] If you watch movies/shows with another user. This is my case: I sign in on trakt recently, and I have watched a lot of shows with a friend (on trakt a lot longer than me). The watching dates are of course the same, and we had chosen together the ratings of the episodes. So the ability to quickly select what to import from another account would be amazing! Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's a common thing to watch movies and shows with other people.
[2] If your account is stolen and you can not recover it, you can create a new account and re-import everything (including dates and ratings) from your previous account.

What is the more specific use case for wanting to do this type of import?
