I’m super excited to announce the new Streaming Scrobbler! This feature is a game changer and allows automatic syncing from Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+, and Max (and more services to come).
First, make sure you have the most recent iOS or Android Trakt app installed.
Next, follow these steps:
After you connect a service in the Trakt app, it asks if you want to sync existing data or just new data moving forward. Your initial data will be imported about 10 minutes after you link a service.
You can check your connected services on the website or in the app.
Each data sync is listed on the scrobbler settings page and includes the service and counts. Each count is linked to view the specific data that was synced. You can also undo the entire sync to remove all the items from your Trakt account.
What services are supported?
- Netflix
- Prime Video
- Hulu
- Apple TV+
- Max
- and more to come!
Is this on iOS and Android?
Yes! Each beta app allows you to connect your streaming services. The connection has to be done in app.
What data is synced?
Your full watched history and ratings are synced. We hope to sync your watchlists in a future update too.
How long until my data is synced?
The initial data sync occurs about 10 minutes after you linked a service. Moving forward, data will be synced every 24 hours.
Hulu initial import
Hulu doesn’t seem to have watched dates, so your history is imported using the original release date for the items. For new things you watch, those should have the correct watched date and time.
Why did some stuff not sync over to Trakt?
Almost all of your data should sync over, but sometimes we can’t find a match on TMDB. This might happen with alternative versions, or old content that has long been removed from the streaming service.
Do you store my passwords?
No, your streaming passwords are not stored! Your password is only used on device and not sent to Trakt or Younify. As a general rule, we also recommend turning on multi factor authentication for all your streaming accounts for added protection.
Will this duplicate plays?
No, we ignore any items already marked as watched in your Trakt account. This includes the initial sync and the daily syncs.
Do I need to watch things on my phone?
No, you can watch anywhere like normal. The data is synced in the background using the watched history for your connected services and does’t require watching on your phone.
How can I sign into Max if I have an account through my TV provider?
The first option is to create a password so you can directly sign into your Max account. If you have a TV provider login, do this:
- Visit hbomax.com from a computer and Sign In.
- Click your name in the upper right.
- Click Account, then Add a Password.
- Use your new password to sign in directly.
There is another potential workaround listed here.
It still isn’t working!
We’ll need specific info to troubleshoot why a sync isn’t working. Please post in this thread or open a support ticket with this info. Please be as specific as you can.
- What region are you in? – In general, this feature works worldwide, but there could be issues if you’re using a service not official supported in your country.
- What service?
- Any advanced security (i.e. hardware key) on your streaming account?
- A screen recording and images will generally help too.
Thanks! 
Please let us know what you think and how the Streaming Scrobbler works for you. Trakt started back in 2010 with our XBMC media center scrobbler and we’re super excited to bring similar functionality to streaming services.
