They'll be a few! This was quickly put together within a few hours or so for personal usage. If you come across anything then let me know in the 'Issue' section, and I'll provide support where possible.
# Notes
1. The script is using limited data provided from a GDPR request - so the accuracy isn't 100%. But you will be prompted to manually pick the Trakt show, when it can't be determined automatically.
2. A delay of 5 seconds is added between each episode to ensure fair use of Trakt's servers - especially with my import of 6,500 episodes. You should adjust this for your own import.
3. Episodes which have been processed will be saved to a TinyDB file `localStorage.json` - then when you restart the script, the program will skip those episodes which have been marked 'imported'.
