Incorrect aired episodes in results from /sync/watched/shows/

[maxhand]

When I make a request to /sync/watched/shows, I'm observing that some shows have an incorrect value for airedEpisodes.

For example, with my own account if I look at all of my watched shows, the show with ID 190799 currently has 8 aired episodes. If I get the amount of aired episodes via https://api.trakt.tv/shows/190799 the value is 10. If I mark a new episode as watched, the number of aired episodes in the request from /sync/watched/shows now contains an accurate aired episode count.

This applies to any show that I've previously watched, hasn't had any episodes since the last time I watched, and then eventually has new aired episodes.

Is this expected behavior, or a bug?

More "expected" than "bug". Not really considered accurate enough to rely on solely. Basically due to caching as you've more or less found in the sense that it "updates" (invalidates) if you add something to your history.

This may help:

Thank you for the quick response! I think the thread you referred me to may point me in the direction of a better implementation, so thank you for that as well.
