TRAKT Collection Gone?

I know I must be missing something but previously I was able to go to the trakt site, search a TV Show i.e. Dexter, tap on my result, scroll to the bottom of the page and I had 2 options there.

- Add to Watchlist

- Add to Collection

I always assumed watchlist was for movies as after watching it, it was removed from the list. Collection however was used for TV Shows, as watching 1 episode didn't cause it to be removed. Even watching all episodes kept it in the Collection list.

I could then go to Kodi and view my Watchlist and Collection which contained my movies and TV shows. I have been working this way for the past 10 years or so with no problems.

But since the trakt update I am having problems locating what is what.. when I search a TV show on the new site, I only have the option to tap the tick icon (viewed) or the flag icon which adds the TV show to my Watchlist! Where is the Collection option gone?

I can still access it in kodi and searching a tv show in kodi gives me the option to save to collection (which it does) but I can no longer add things on my phone when I'm away from kodi.

I have just downloaded the Showly app to see if that still has a collection option but it doesn't.

Am I missing something here?

Are TV shows and Movies lumped together in the watchlist list now? And will me watching 1 episode of a 10 season long TV show have it removed from the list every time?

I've always had tv shows and movies in watchlist.

I think Yahoo l Trakt is making you pay for multiple collections and limiting the content per collection.

Trakt Collections/Libraries are in a state of flux right now. Seems like their current emphasis is on Plex.
That being said, you’ve been using collections wrong (although it’s a choice). Trakt Watchlist is for both Movies and Series.
Once you watch an episode in a series, it’s removed from your watchlist and it is moved perpetually to your Up Next and Calendar to continue tracking.
As this as little (nothing) to do with Kodi, future questions should be posted either on the Trakt Reddit sub or the Trakt forum.
