Before you start

This migration uses Tv Time Liberator, a third-party browser extension. It is not made or maintained by Cinephile, so review it yourself before using it.

1. Install the export extension

1. Open Google Chrome on your computer (I know, I also prefer Safari, but this extension is only available for Chrome).
2. Install the Tv Time Liberator extension from the Chrome Web Store.
3. After installation, make sure the extension is available from Chrome's toolbar.

2. Export your TV Time data

1. Go to the TV Time website in Chrome and sign in.
2. Once your account library is visible, click the Tv Time Liberator extension in the toolbar.
3. Follow the prompts in the extension to generate your export.
4. When the export finishes, Chrome should download a ZIP file containing your data.

3. Extract the downloaded archive

1. Find the ZIP file in your downloads folder.
2. Unzip it with the built-in extraction tool on your computer.
3. Inside the extracted files, look for movies.json, shows.json, and lists.json. The lists file is optional and imports TV Time lists as Cinephile collections.

4. Import the JSON files into Cinephile

1. Open Cinephile.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Open the "Import Data" section.
4. Select TV Time as the source.
5. Select TV Time Liberator, then choose any available movies.json, shows.json, and optional lists.json files.
6. Start the import and wait for processing to finish.

After the import

Congratulations! You're completely free from TV Time and are now ready to continue your journey in Cinephile. Enjoy!
