Success. Today I was able to sync the watched history from Sage to Trakt.

I will do more testing and cleaning up and then I'll try to get an alpha out to anybody willing to try it. This alpha will only send info to trakt for shows that are watched.

I wish there was a LIKE or a THANKS button to push!!!

Awesome work! Sounds promising.

There are still kinks to work out. Many of the movies I tried to sync were not recognized by trakt and I have not found a reliable way to determine when the show was actually watched.

I can also get the viewing history from trakt and am working on making that show up in Sage.

For me... I'm less concerned about the "when" something was watched, just if it was actually watched

btw, you might want to add a TRAKT flag to sagetv metadata. Maybe set it as a date. That way you can later query when it was last synced to trakt, or do querries on sagetv to only sync content that has not already been synced, etc.

This sounds great and I'm really looking forward to this.

Also, shouldn't this thread be moved to the V9 Customization forum?

That's a good idea.

It should be noted that Trakt and Sage do not treat "watched" the same. In Sage it's binary - either a show is watched or it isn't. In Trakt a show has "views" - 0 views means you haven't watched it and every time you do watch it the view count increases.

In my current implementation each time you sync the Sage watched status to Trakt it increases the view count by one. I'm debating if I should change the code to only sync to trakt if the trakt view count is 0.

I, too, would just be concerned that it is flagged watched ONCE.

All I really care about is tracking that something has been watched and not so much what position or how many times it has been watched.

My implemetation of SAGETV watched status to PLEX - and then PLEX to TRACKT worked for a bit but then things started get flagged WATCHED in my SAGETV that I had not watched ever so I shut down the Sage to Plex script.

Personally, I'd treat it as a boolean. During a "sync" I'd always consider it to a 1 for a watched show. Now, if later, during an interactive "watched" session you decide to increment it, then that would be ok, but I think a bulk sync shouldn't modify the count if it's already >0. (I'm not passionate about this , I mainly just want the boolean nature of the watched status to carry though my 3 setups)

I do this too. For certain shows I will go back and rewatch the previous season before I watch the current season and I clear the watched status before I start to help me keep track.

Edit - This version has flaws. I recommend you do not use it.

Here is something to try over the weekend. To install it extract the zip file into the Sage install directory then install the Trakt TV "General" plugin.

Once installed you will need to grant it access to your Trakt account. To do that:

1. Open the plugin configuration.
2. Click on the "Log On" button. Once you do that the button will display an activation code.
3. Go to the website that is displayed and enter the activation code. Then grant SageTV access.
4. Go back to the plugin configuration and click on the button that is displaying the access code.

Explanation of the other configuration settings:

• Sync watched status of movies. If set to true when you watch a movie to completion the watched status will automatically get sent to Trakt.
• Sync watched status of TV. Same as above except for TV episodes.
• Sync watched status when it's manually changed. If set to true and you manually change the watched status of a movie or TV episode the new watched status will be sent to Trakt. Not that this will work for setting things watched as well as clearing the watched status.
• Sync viewing history to Trakt. This will mark all the shows you have ever watched on Sage as watched in Trakt. (Note that every time you press this all shows will get set as watched again on Trakt. This is a known bug, see the next item.)
• Sync even if it has been synced before. This currently does not work. When I do get it working setting it to Yes will prevent shows from getting marked as watched again.
• Test. Don't press this.

Depending on the size of your wiz.bin, syncing the history make take a minute or two. To see the status you must back out of the plugin configuration menu and then re-enter it. The button will show the status. (I'll try to make this refresh automatically.)

The next thing I will work on is adding the ability to pull the watched status from Trakt and sync it to the Sage recordings.

This is awesome - i have it installed and look forward to messing around with it.
Thank you SO MUCH for working on this plugin!

You are welcome. I think my best advice right now id to not do a sync just yet. I am seeing some strange things on my trakt account and I don't know if it's my plugin messing it up.

Manually setting shows as watched/unwatched and having shows that are watched to completion seems to be working for me.

Installed plugin. Configured and authorized fine. Watched two shows and neither transferred to the Trakt.tv\dashboard
Is there any logging we can do to see what’s happening on my system?

Zip and attach the logfile, sagetv_0.txt, located in the same place as your Sage executable.

I made some changes yesterday that will fix a number of things.

Here it is Tom. Haven't had a chance to look at it myself.

Bug in the code. Uninstall and stop using the plugin. Sorry!

I'm working on fixes.
