Export

Under Settings → Data → Export you can download your whole library as one CSV file – your own; other accounts on the same installation are not part of it – as a backup you can read, or to move to another tool.

The file has the format of Yamtrack's own export. It can be imported into Yamtrack (Settings → Import → Yamtrack CSV) and into hdtracker again (see Import from Yamtrack).

Available from version 0.5.0.

What is in the file

Area	Rows
Movies	one per movie, with its status
Series	one for the series, one per season with watched episodes, one per watched episode with the date you ticked it
Anime	one per anime, with status and the number of watched episodes
Games	one per game, with its status

Every title also carries its name, the address of its poster, when you added it and when you last changed its status. Titles of hidden areas are included.

What is not in the file

• Scores, notes and play time – hdtracker does not track them, so these columns stay empty.
• Anime without an entry at MyAnimeList. Yamtrack only knows anime by their MyAnimeList ID. hdtracker stores that ID for every anime that has one; the rare anime without it are left out, and the export page tells you how many.
• Posters, descriptions and release dates themselves – only IDs and statuses matter; every tool loads the rest again.

Good to know

• The export only reads your own database. Nothing is asked from TMDB, IGDB, AniList or anyone else.
• A season counts as Completed when every aired episode is ticked; otherwise it gets the status of the series.
• After importing into Yamtrack, a few values look different because Yamtrack works them out itself: the date a title was added becomes the day of the import, and the progress of a movie or season is recalculated. All titles, statuses and watched episodes arrive as exported.
• For a complete, restorable copy of hdtracker itself (including all accounts and settings) use a backup – the export is about your library only.
