Find IP address of Watch history item

3rd Party Other
1

Random shows keep appearing in my watched history, which means my trakt account is authorized on some random machine/hardware somewhere. Im wondering if its possible to discover the IP address of the machine that added the show/movie to my watched history, that might allow me to know who is messing up my history.

I tried removing all 3rd party authorizations, but so far that has not solved my issue.

Im also open to suggestions for how to solve this.

thanks much

Sorry, not really sure if this is the solution but is it possible that changing your password on Trakt might “disconnect” this rogue machine?

Please review your connected apps and revoke access to any that could be causing this issue. We don’t store IP addresses.

Thanks Justin… there are only 2 items listed in connected apps, and I initiated both of those recently.

I had previously de-authorized everything that was listed on that page, then I reset my password, and I reauthorized the ones you see below, so I don’t think it’s a 3rd party app that’s the cause….but if not, then how/why are shows that I am definitely not watching showing up in my watched list/history DAILY.

I think whatever it is is happening automatically because in my history it will show something like 20 or 30 episodes of let’s say family Guy or Simpsons, but it shows them all as having been watched at the same time, which isn’t possible.

so they’re getting added somehow, by a script or something.

any ideas based on the above description?

I tried that, it didn’t seem to solve the issue, the same random shows keep appearing in my history

The plays are being added by the Cinema app. I suggest revoking access.

but I had already revoked access, and cleared all caches.

I literally reauthorized that particular cinema yesterday, you can see from the screenshot that it was authorized on the 15th

or does one authorization to cinema allow all instances of cinema, regardless of geographic location, access? like it clears a generic API or something?

I’ll try deauthorizing, but then I lose access to my trakt lists and progress via my own cinema instance

The plays are being added by that app once you reconnect it. Most likely a bug with them sending data they shouldn’t be sending. My suggestion is to revoke access and not use the app.

hmm I’ll try that.

bummer not to be able to interact with my trakt account tho.

is there a default session expiration? like maybe I can reauthorize in a month or so?

thanks for your help

Thanks much. I have those set exactly like that. (I’m working on a way to upload my local favorites list to my trakt only data)

Which means that whatever cinema app is connected on the remote machine, wherever it is, DOESNT have those settings enable, and whoever is watching those random shows, that’s how it’s getting added to my trakt list. That’s why I was trying to see if there was a way to find out where geographically the “plays” were coming from; it would give me an idea of whose house I was at when I logged into my trakt account on their machine.

I’m still perplexed about it, as I mentioned above. It looks like 20-30 shows are airing at the same time, which means they’re not actually being watched. It seems like a bug in the script.
