  • Ideal for creating custom importers or integrating with other applications.

TV Time Rescue now supports exports for:

• IMDb
• Letterboxd

Simply run recover to recover your data and generate all supported exports automatically, or use export --input <folder> to generate exports from an existing recovery.

  • Series descriptions
  • Genres
  • Complete season and episode lists
• Your original watched status is preserved and overlaid on the enriched data.
