trakt.tv

trakt helps keep a record of what TV shows and movies you are watching. Based on your favorites, trakt recommends additional shows and movies you'll enjoy!

trakt is a TV show and movie recommendation service. We're different than other sites since we automatically keep a record of what you are watching and don't rely on manual check ins. We are a social platform with a strong community emphasis. Just browse around the site and you'll see how the community drives the content. Everything from trending shows and movies to personal recommendations are directly influenced by the trakt community.

trakt is also a great way to keep a comprehensive history of all tv shows and movies you have watched. Use one of our supported media center plugins and start sending us this data automatically. Once it's setup, we'll keep tracking your history effortlessly in the background. Fill in shows and movies you've watched prior to trakt using the website or API.

Share your trakt profile with your friends and family so they know what you are watching and can easily check out your media library. Even easier, connect your facebook, twitter, and tumblr accounts to have trakt automatically share updates on your behalf. We also provide several widgets that you can use on your forum signature or on your blog. And if that still isn't enough, we provide a very robust API so go nuts and create your own mash ups!

In short, we're last.fm for tv and movies.

In addition to our plugin for dharma+, check out trakt utilities to add more integration for XBMC and trakt (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=767794). If you are waiting for a proper Eden release, there is also the php import script. Check out the instructions here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=7...post733974

Enjoy guys!

I tried it and it's feels really polished.
The upcoming recommendations function is something I really look forward to though. Hard to keep up with all the new shows

Good job!

Just tried it.
for some reason I had to change in setting.xml AutoStart to true manually to make it work.

fillidill: thanks, we've been working on it for the past couple months.

psike: did you manually start it the first time by going to home > programs and pressing enter on it? the first load of the plugin has been the most problematic. after that, it just kinda goes.

thanks for the feedback guys. we appreciate it.

I've tried starting it several times but nothing happened so i took a look at the xml files.
but since then everything works great.

I would like option in settings to disable all notifies or that notify on start "waiting to submit ..."

good idea about the notification. i'll get that in the next iteration.

1. Again same problem. I turn off the notify after video is submitted but nothing happens.
when opening setting.xml I can see "NotifyOnSubmit" is still true.

2. I've noticed that it take more time to close XBMC when shutting down with this script.

3. about the website, why it's not remember me? I need to log in every time.

PHP Code:

This will show what you're currently watching or what you last watched dynamically.

You can sign up for an account on http://trakt.tv

We're still in beta and are actively developing new features.

Next up is going to be:
- friends
- recommendations
- API

Any suggestions and ideas to help develop this into something awesome for the community would be greatly appreciated. Like I said it is currently in beta and we'll be squashing bugs as they come up. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Pretty cool idea, and cool use of the addons framework

johoja: thanks, i, admittedly, watch too much tv and have wanted something like this for a while. hopefully others will like it as much as i do.

psike: i noted all your issues. maybe someone can answer this here, but i don't believe the settings.xml actually holds the current values, but just the default values for when the plugin is installed. either way, i'll look into it.

the shut down issue is that xbmc is killing the python script.
