Trakt scrobbling for Plex

Just use https://github.com/Taxel/PlexTraktSync instead

Get and install Trakttv.bundle

• SSH into server and cd into the Plex Plug-Ins directory for me that was /storage/.appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins
• git clone https://github.com/Cornishman/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler.git
• mv Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler/Trakttv.bundle/ .
• rm -rdf Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler
• now restart plex

Give the plugin Trakt permissions

• go to your plex server
  • Settings -> {Your-Server} -> Manage -> Plugins
• select settings on the trakt plugin's logo
• configure the plugin and make sure to retrieve and enter the trakt authentication pin
• hit save

Give the plugin plex permissions

• go to https://trakt-for-plex.github.io/
• login to your plex account, select the server you want to manage
• click on Accounts
  • under Authentication, make sure trakt AND plex are working, you might have to allow another plex pin, like when you logged in to give access to the servers.

Do a full sync manually

• The first time to get the ball rolling I recommend doing a full sync, for this you can use Kitana. You can install kitana directly on the server, but you do not have to. I simply ran it from my windows pc.
• simply run this command docker run --name kitana --restart unless-stopped -v kitana_data:/app/data -d -p 0.0.0.0:31337:31337 pannal/kitana:latest -B 0.0.0.0:31337
• now access kitana with http://localhost:31337
• login, then select your server
• select Trakt plugin
  • On this screen you can see any error messages the plugin is having
• select Sync -> Full
• And just for good measure also run "Pull from Trakt.tv"

Congrats, you did it
