Anyone experiencing issues with Plaxt recently? I find it only scrobbles for 1 or 2 episodes of a show now and then I have to authorise a webhook again
Thx

Ask Plaxt support. Trakt support can’t help with 3rd party apps…
Does Plaxt have their own support forums or emails?
Nope. They don’t
I was asking if anyone else has issues, not asking trakt staff for support

Ok, so I did a little extra research for you since you won’t.
Plaxt is built by Alexander Standke and it’s open sourced on Github. This means you can communicate with him via that repository: GitHub - XanderStrike/goplaxt: Scrobble Plex plays to Trakt with ease!
To be more specific, if you are not use to or familiar with Github, you can use the “issues” tracker here: GitHub · Where software is built
I hope Alex can help you figure it out…if nobody here can. Cheers and good luck.

FWIW that GitHub link clearly shows the project was retired on Nov 13, 2024 and that no further development is being done on the project.

Yeh I agree. It was stopped work on. But has worked for years.
When I posted my question, I asked here, coz I wonder if trakt has an API issue
I understood that. FWIW Plex regularly has issues scrobbling to Trakt even with the official method which intermittently requires the same action to kick start it again that you’re facing: re-authorize the webhook.

Yeh, I had that that on the forums whilst lurking. It’s what has put me off paying for VIP, although I’m sure I will at some point.
It’s a shame there is a trial of a VIP service. I only use Trakt for scrobbling what I watch. I don’t create lists or use year in review etc. I’m a very basic user. It understand trakt incur costs for scrobbling which need to be paid for
In fairness the issues with scrobbling from Plex aren’t a problem on Trakt’s side. It’s most definitely on the Plex side imho.

Thx Rob. Appreciate the honesty
Yes. It disconnects every day and start working only after getting new webhook at it is annoying as hell.
I guess it’s time to find something else…this project is archived and no longer updated/supported so as Trakt changes (API stuff), this will continue to break and probably get worse.

Yes, sadly it’s time to change to something where I can freely scrobble and not paying for that. But thanks anyway, it is the problem caused by changed API. Gotcha

Same thing
I use trakt to record what I’ve watched. Nothing else. No lists etc. so $60 a year just to scrobble us way too much. Happy to contribute, but not in that realm
I’m not a Scrobbling kind of person, so I really have no skin in this game other than trying to help. I really enjoy tracking what I watch because it’s one of the main things I do to pass the time (like a hobby). I actually enjoy manually clicking each show/episode/movie (and checking in from time to time if I am watching something live). But with that said, you have other options.
Trakt has it’s own Plex scrobbler, have you not see or tried it?
Site Info: Sign in to Trakt - Trakt
Support: Plex Scrobbler
I’ve never used it, but it might be a good alternative? Oh, wait, you won’t pay $60 a year…I forgot.
Ask Grok.com for alternatives/replacements: https://grok.com/chat/8e972b8a-d7c0-4dac-85a0-9fb8b9be97a0
If you are comfortable running your own server and getting all that stuff set up, you might try: GitHub - Taxel/PlexTraktSync: A python script that syncs the movies, shows and ratings between trakt and Plex (without needing a PlexPass or Trakt VIP subscription)
Grok seems to know how to build a scrobbler too…and then you can ask it to build a web UI for it similar to Plaxt.

I track things manually too, as not all my consumption is via plex. But to use trakt plex scrobbler, you have to be VIP. $60 is just way too much for that functionality
But agree with you. It’s fun to see what you’ve watched
I just made a script myself in Python.
whenever Tautulli marks a episode or movie as played my python script kicks off and marks it as watched on Trakt.

i am giving this a go.
i have configured the triggers as play back start and watched.
the client id and secret i pulled from an existing api app so wasnt challenged to authorise your script in trakt. was i meant to just make up these values so i did get a challenge? it wasn’t clear.
will test it properly today.
thx
