**Description:** I’ve discovered that deleting a show in SeriesGuide and re-adding it does not trigger a fresh sync from Trakt. Instead, the app appears to perform a “soft delete,” retaining old local progress. When the show is re-added, it simply restores this stale local data instead of pulling the correct, updated history from Trakt. **Request:** Could you please add a feature to **manually force-sync/overwrite** local watch progress using Trakt data? This would help resolve discrepancies where the local database gets out of sync with the Trakt cloud record. ---

Recently, I encountered a synchronization issue. After I mark an episode as watched in SeriesGuide, the “watched” information successfully syncs to Trakt, and I can confirm it appears correctly in my Trakt history. However, after a few seconds or minutes, the same episode in SeriesGuide reverts to an “unwatched” status. Upon checking Trakt again, the watched record is still there. This has led to a state where the Trakt data is correct, but SeriesGuide’s local data is inconsistent. Given that the Play Store version of SeriesGuide was last updated in December of last year, I suspect there might have been some recent changes to the Trakt API that are affecting how the app handles synchronization callbacks or state updates. ---

It appears that Trakt has resolved the issue on their API side. ---

Thanks for reporting. Depending on the load of their servers, it’s possible that it takes a while for the Trakt API to update the returned data. ---

Thanks for the feedback. Now that the Trakt API seems to have recovered, the previous syncing issue might have been temporary. However, I still believe it would be very helpful to have a **“Force Overwrite from Trakt”** option. Would you consider adding such a feature? ---
