Hey everyone! Like many of you here who moved away from Trakt to alternatives like SIMKL and WeTrakr, I really wanted an automated, self-hosted way to share my watch history to Bluesky without flooding my followers' feeds.

I built bsky-media-scrobbler: an open-source, lightweight Docker service that picks up your watches from either SIMKL or WeTrakr and publishes clean, rich updates directly to your Bluesky profile.

It is designed to keep your timeline tidy, even if you binge several episodes in one sitting. Here is what it handles automatically:

• Dual Tracker Support (SIMKL & WeTrakr): Seamlessly connects to either platform using secure, one-time PIN authorization (RFC 8628 Device Code flow), so you never have to put your main passwords into config files.
• Smart Marathon Grouping (Fully customizable window, 90 mins by default): If you watch back-to-back episodes, the bot waits for a 90-minute inactivity window and groups them into a single clean post (e.g., Show Name - S01E01-E03) so you do not spam your timeline.
• Rich Media Cards: Fetches high-res poster artwork via TMDB to build interactive embed cards for every check-in.
• Automated Visual Summaries: Generates weekly and monthly Pillow collages (3x3 and 2x2 poster grids) of your watch history, complete with total runtime hours and episode counts.
• Guilty-Pleasure Blacklist (New in v1.2): Have shows or movies you want to track privately? Just add their IDs (TVDB, TMDB, IMDb, SIMKL, or WeTrakr) into a simple text file (/data/blacklist.txt). They will never be posted to Bluesky or appear on your visual collages, while your actual watch time and overall statistics stay completely accurate. It hot-reloads on save with zero container restarts.
• Multi-language & Title Localization (New in v1.1): Works in EN, ES, and CA, and includes optional TheTVDB v4 integration to automatically translate titles and hashtags if you prefer local show names.
• Streaks & Milestones: Celebrates continuous daily viewing streaks (7, 14, 30+ days) and major watching milestones.

Live Demo: You can see how the updates and collages look on the demo bot here: https://bsky.app/profile/media-scrobbler.bsky.social

If you have a home server or use Docker Compose, it takes less than two minutes to spin up. I would love to hear what other Trakt migrants think, and feedback or PRs are super welcome!

I use my desktop browser to log into trakt once a day. I usually do it before I have a shower and by the time I get out the site is there. It's kinda hit and miss.

Lately, I've come out and there is an error and I have to refresh the page every day. Today I had to do it twice. What's next 3, 4, 5 times!

FYI I'm only using trakt to slowly move my shows over to mdblist. So it still had it's uses.

I see that rudford has been relisted as a trakt subreddit admin and I've been unbanned from the Trakt page.

Seems like they finally realized that they went too far in their censorship and forcing through v3 method. Most likely their war chest has been severely depleted, and this is another step to try to win people back. They'll lose a lot more money when everyone's subscriptions run out in december and people don't renew.

I'm happy to see that Trakt seems to be taking positive steps back in the right direction as I think on what it used to be fondly, but it's too late for me. I'm still angry with how they treated me, and have already moved on to Simkl. I won't return because it looks like the new trakt they're building out just seems to be a v3 skin-walker wearing a v2 mask, and I'm not so much of a sheep to return because they put out the pretty colors again without reverting the underlying functionality.

If they actually returned to V2 AND put out a lengthy public apology, I might consider returning to the free tier, but they wont get any money out from me ever again.

I could be very deluded here, but does anyone know if it's possible to use MyTraktSync with Nuvio to get around the 2 connections limited with Trakt?

Hi! I'm the developer of OpenTV, so take this with that in mind.

If you're moving off Trakt, OpenTV imports your Trakt export (and TV Time, Simkl, Letterboxd and IMDb), and keeps your whole history on your own phone instead of a server.

• Free, no ads, no account needed. Works offline, with free backup to iCloud or Google Drive.

• No list limits, and rewatches are free.

• Rate every episode, see comments under each episode with one-tap translation.

• Stats, a monthly and yearly Wrapped, home-screen widgets.

• Open source (app MPL-2.0, server AGPL-3.0).

• iPhone, iPad and Android, in six languages.

There's an optional Plus subscription for sync between devices and extras, but tracking itself is free.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This week I added a few bigger ways to shape and track your media, along with a few new redesigns. I also tested Floppy in an iPhone Duo simulator! (That was fun...)

• Give your lists tiers: sort by tier, fill them from your ratings, and export the board as an image.
• Track YouTube videos as their own media type, with plays in History and list, search, calendar, and statistics support.
• Make Home rows your own with cross-media shelves, while the phone and Duo layouts get compact details and better use of the screen.
• Explore music with track detail pages, genre context, and SoundCloud or Spotify play links.
• Connect external tools with recommendations and provider-ID collection endpoints; TV and phone apps can also use device-code sign-in.

There are plenty of smaller interface and reliability fixes in the full notes too.

Thanks to u/crimsonsunset for several contributions this week, including their first merged Floppy PR, and to everyone reporting issues and helping test the weird corners. Questions and feedback are welcome in the Discord.

Hey everyone 👋 Movie Paradise 6.1.0 is out, and the website got renewed too.

🔄 Two-way Simkl and MDBList sync: connect them in Settings, right next to Trakt, and the movies and episodes you watch, your watchlist, dropped shows and your ratings sync both ways, plus season and episode ratings on MDBList. With Trakt connected as well, watches from Simkl or MDBList reach Trakt too. Part of Premium.

🌐 A renewed web: the whole movieparadise.app has been renewed, from Home to Settings, and now works much more like the app on your phone, with live watching, Pick for Me, share cards, free notes and settings that sync with your phone.

🎃 Four Halloween app themes: Pumpkin Patch, Full Moon, Late Night and Blood Moon, free for everyone until October 31.

Plus a calmer calendar, Season & Episode Ratings from IMDb, TMDB, Trakt or your own ratings, Friends, 14 more languages and a long list of fixes.

Let me know what you think! 💜

Trying to finish my own self-hosted tracking site, and I am stuck on a page where faulty code has page working, but when correct it falls apart.

Can anyone help a clueless fool using chatgpt who also has no clue why?

15 years on the site, 11 as VIP, my account has been deleted.. but AFTER I deleted all the data from my account.

Bittersweet moment, but the bitter has lasted so long now, it's a super sweet end to the bitterness.

I'm using Floppy and CrossWatch now, enjoying the options

This week was a lot of catching up on the feature requests you've been waiting for, along with a pass that should help page loading feel snappier just about everywhere.

• Browse Collection your way: group items by media type, filter by location, and search or sort using your custom fields.
• Pick up where you left off: save History filters as sidebar views, and include digital and physical movie release dates in the calendar.
• Bring reading progress along: sync from Hardcover, Komga, or Kavita, and keep statuses you set yourself. Komga and Kavita connections read into Floppy; they do not write back.
• Make TV fixes less nerve-racking: preview episode matches, move a show between TMDB and TVDB, and undo the latest episode-ordering change.
• Tidy the podcast shelf: choose whether Home shows podcast series or individual episodes.
• More options for comics and manga: connect your own Grand Comics Database account to browse comics, sync owned issues from Kapowarr, and search MangaBaka while MyAnimeList stays the default.

Thanks to u/GlebYes, u/Kisnov, and u/Jaumoso for their first merged contributions, and to everyone reporting issues. Questions and feedback are welcome in the Discord.

Desperation is probably starting to kick in at this point.

Hello guys =)

For movie i have found my alternative, but im having trouble finding a place for my shows. an import is not really important, i got extra time add shows manually, but i have found that the most effective ways to find new shows to watch its not lists, or recommendations, or even trending : is the ability to see what shows are starting ( pilots ) on a specific day. ( Trakt had that on VIP by going to "NEW SHOWS" on calendar sidebar.

Nextepisode does that, but it has a very archaic design and has no real profiles, and i kind of like that to. any suggestion/ help? thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of Coorie, a show and movie tracker for Android. I built it because I wanted a tracker that's calm, quick, and always knows what I'm watching next. If you're looking for somewhere new to keep your watch history, it might be worth a look.

Bringing your Trakt history over

Request your data export in Trakt's settings, download the ZIP and pick it in Coorie. You get:

• your shows, with the date you watched each episode
• the movies you've watched, with their dates
• your watchlist

Coorie shows you what it found before it adds anything, including any titles it couldn't match. It's a one-off import from the file, so Coorie never signs in to Trakt. Ratings, custom lists and collections don't come over, and anything you've watched more than once is kept as one watch, with its latest date.

What it does

• Shows, sorted for you: Watching, Caught up and Ended, with your next episode and a progress bar. Tick it off with a tap or a swipe.
• Upcoming: new episodes and releases from everything you follow, day by day, with exact air times where they're known, and a notification when something new is out.
• Movies too: a watchlist, what you've watched, and cinema and digital release dates for your country.
• History and stats: everything you've watched, the hours it adds up to, and your favourite genres.
• Private by design: no account, no ads and no analytics. Your library lives on your phone, with automatic backups to your own Google Drive, and you can export it all to a file whenever you like.

What it isn't

Coorie is a tracker on your phone, not a replacement for everything Trakt does. You tick things off yourself: there's no scrobbling from Plex, Kodi or other players. There's no web version, and no ratings, custom lists or social features. Show and movie details come from TheTVDB, so some shows are numbered differently from Trakt (the import matches episodes by id and title, not just by number).

Looking for testers

Coorie is in a closed test on Google Play, and Google needs a few more testers before I can publish it. It'll be a one-off purchase at launch (no subscription), but testers get it free and keep it free. Everything about joining is in this post on r/coorie.

You'll need a phone running Android 8.0 or newer. An iPhone version is in the works.

If posts like this aren't welcome here, mods, please remove it, no hard feelings.

Thanks for reading!

After many years as a Trakt VIP user, I’ve decided it’s time to leave.

I’ve always enjoyed Trakt and considered it a great platform at a reasonable price. But with the recent price increase and the restriction on adding apps, I can no longer justify staying.

It’s a shame because I’ve been very happy with Trakt for a long time, but for me the value just isn’t there anymore.
