Stats and timeline: how much you watched, and when

Your profile: the big numbers

At the top of your profile is Watch time, split into total, films and series, converted into days in front of the screen. Below, the Movies watched and Series watched tiles with their counts, Episodes with watched and rewatched, and the links to watchlist, favourites, lists, dropped series, timeline and statistics.

Watch time is views times runtime. A film watched three times counts three times its runtime, and the same goes for episodes. Runtimes come from TheTVDB's metadata; when a title's runtime is unknown, Kitazo counts a hundred minutes for a film and forty for an episode rather than zero. A film left half-way, with a saved spot, counts for the part you watched.

Watched series are split into Up to date, where you have seen everything aired so far but the series goes on, and Finished, closed for good.

The Statistics page

From your profile, Statistics. It has a general part and two tabs, Series and Movies, applying the same set of measures to the two worlds.

• How you rate shows and How you rate movies: the distribution of your stars, in half steps, with the average. For series each show counts once, at the average of its season ratings rounded down to the half star.
• Favourite genres: the metadata genres, weighted by what you watched.
• Where your series come from and where your movies come from: the production countries.
• Favourite decade: the era you watched most, from the titles' release dates.
• Most-watched actor and Most-watched director: the three names that recur most in your diary, as long as they appear in at least two titles.
• Most rewatched series and Most rewatched movies: where you went round the most.
• Your top series and The movies you love: the titles you rated highest.

The general part holds your streak and Time left to catch up, the time you need to watch the films on your watchlist and the aired episodes you haven't seen yet.

The day streak

The streak counts consecutive days on which you logged at least one watch, dated that day. Your profile shows the current streak and the record. So it doesn't collapse at the first evening without television, every seven streak days you earn a freeze day, up to five banked: a skipped day is bridged automatically by spending one. Watches imported without a date, and those logged with an unknown date, count neither for the streak nor for any day-based statistic, because nobody knows which day to put them on.

Choosing what to show

The gear on the Statistics page opens Visible statistics: a list of switches to hide the entries you don't care about, or don't want seen, such as the streak or the production countries. The data is still computed; only the page changes.

Another user's stats open from their profile, in the Dashboard tab, if their profile is public or if you follow each other. Anyone who blocked or was blocked sees nothing of the other.

The watch-time leaderboard

The trophy next to your watch time opens the Watch-time leaderboard: you and the people you follow, ordered by minutes. It is the only comparison between people Kitazo offers, and it is limited to who you chose to follow: no global leaderboard.

The timeline

Timeline is your diary read in order of time. Pick a year and you see twelve months with a bar each, then the days with what you watched that day: films, episodes grouped by series, and the comments you wrote. The year summary has a heatmap with one square per day: the brighter it is, the more you watched. Below it, the year's counts: titles, entries, episodes and active days.

The When did I watch…? box searches your diary for a title and tells you how many times you watched it and between which dates. An Undated section gathers the watches we know happened but not when, typically imported: from there you can open each title and give it a date. Imported watches with a real date are marked imported, so you know where the data came from.

What doesn't enter the numbers

Episodes you skipped with "Not watching" count neither as watched nor as backlog. Set-aside series stay in your watch time, because you really watched it, but don't count as backlog. Rewatches count in watch time and in total views, not in the number of distinct episodes, which counts each episode once. None of this leaves your account: the site's public charts use ratings and watches in aggregate, never one person's profile.
