A MPV script that checks in your movies and shows with Trakt.tv without the need for an IPC server.

Requires curl

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

1. Clone the entire project into the mpv's scripts folder
   • To do it in one command:

       git clone 'https://github.com/dyphire/trakt-scrobble' ~/.config/mpv/scripts/trakt-scrobble
     

Ok the hard part is done, now you'll do the rest in mpv. If you did everything correctly when you open a file the following message will appear:

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

The script comes with a set of predefined trakt.tv api's that you can replace with your own (not necessary).

1. Create a trakt.tv api. You can do this using: https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications
2. Base64 your client_id and client_secret, then copy them to the script or script configuration file

The current behaviors adopted by the plugin are:

• It will start a scrobble as soon as the video starts.
• The scrobble will stop when playback is paused or ended.
• Right now there really isn't a good error reporting. So if you find an error I suggest you look at the mpv console.

Some improvements that can be done are:

• Start scrobbing only after x seconds of playback. This would avoid acidental scrobbles.
• Allow the user to cancel a scrobble.
• Allow a backup plan for when the show/movie isn't recognized.

Pull requests are very welcome. I don't have a strict CONTRIBUTING guide since this is a small project, so just make sure you are clear on what you worked on 😉.
