A MPV script that adds movies and show episodes to your Trakt account's watched history without the need for an IPC server.

Forked from https://github.com/LiTO773/trakt-mpv

This script is written in both Lua and Python. The Lua part works as a front-end while the Python script is responsible for communicating with Trakt.tv.

This dual-language approach was needed since mpv scripts aren't able to send http requests and/or edit files natively.

In order for this script to work you need to make sure you have Python 3 installed.

After that, make sure you also have the required modules. You can install them like this:

pip install --upgrade requests guessit

The install is pretty simple and can be done with the following steps:

1. Move the trakt-mpv folder in its entirety to your mpv scripts folder
2. Create a trakt.tv api. You can do this using: https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications. Use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob as the redirect URI.
3. Copy your client_id and client_secret to trakt-mpv/config_example.json
4. Rename trakt-mpv/config_example.json to trakt-mpv/config.json
5. Bind the command script-message-to trakt_mpv init_trakt_and_set_watched to a key in your input.conf

Ok the hard part is done, now you'll do the rest in mpv. If you did everything correctly when you open a file and press your designated key the following message will appear: Press t to authenticate with Trakt.tv

Press t and follow the instructions on the screen. After that you are all set 😀.

The current behaviors adopted by the plugin are:

• It will mark the current movie/episode as watched to your Trakt history upon invoking the init_trakt_and_set_watched command.
• Right now there really isn't a good error reporting. So if you find an error I suggest you look at the mpv console.
