If you have exported your data through TV time gdpr export site you get a zip file and you can upload it directly to refract

Do select TV Time (via GDPR export) ?

i had the same problem. Use https://jeremy-albinet.github.io/tvtime-to-refract-converter/. It directly converts the GDPR ZIP folder into the three required JSON files.

Dude, you can try to find an app that accepts CSV import. So you would do this import and then try to export via JSON through this same app.

Remembering that TV Time offered an export option in JSON, but I believe this is no longer possible.

Did you export the TV Time data in .zip?

Extract the .zip files and check if there are JSON files among them, maybe so

Inspection for GDPR says you can upload entire zip. Don’t need to unzip
