Don't send watch event to trakt when marking as watched in Emby

[libussa 3]

Hi! This is my trakt config:


With this, I would have expected to only have the scrobbler active:

POST https://api.trakt.tv/scrobble/start
POST https://api.trakt.tv/scrobble/stop

But when I mark something as watched in Emby, it sends a history event to trakt, and adds a play in my history:

POST https://api.trakt.tv/sync/history

Would there be way to disable this? It particularly bit me when I imported my watch history from plex and inserted thousands of watches in trakt

Something I noticed just now, but this is definitely a bug;

when marking something as unwatched in Emby, I see in logs

POST https://api.trakt.tv/sync/history/remove

but, it adds a play in trakt...

Hi, would trakt still see it as watched?

well I would like the behavior to be configurable; I only want the scrobbler, I don't want to send anything to trakt when I click on "mark as watched"

For reference, this is how jellyfin does it (more granular settings)

What does Plex do? It kind of sounds like we never should have been doing that in the first place.

Plex has a custom integration with trakt through webhooks, so the config is done on trakt's side

There are some things related to ratings, but the rest is only scrobbling indeed, nothing about marking an element as watched in Plex triggering a watch event in trakt

I have always disliked this aspect of the Trakt app in Emby. I totally agree this could/should be configurable. I see the same behavior - marking as watched in Emby marks it watched in Trakt even with the boxes unchecked. I only want it to scrobble.

In Plex, if you mark something watched manually it doesn't do anything in Trakt. It only scrobbles when watching a show or movie. I haven't used Jellyfin, but those options looks pretty cool. If I remember correctly the Trakt plugin for Kodi also has those similar settings.

So you just want an option to ignore manual watch state changes?

[jasonmcroy 315]

Yes.

OK, an update to the trakt plugin is going up to add this option. Thanks.

I just got the update today and tested. Seems to be working as intended.
