Trakt plugin unable to Get PIN

[signde 26]

Emby Server 4.9.5.0

Trakt Plugin 3.8.5.0

I've never setup or used this plugin before but I installed it several days ago. Go to my user profile (Emby web) > app settings > user preferences > Trakt.

I see the option for Get Pin. Clicking that link opens a new browser tab at:

https://trakt.tv/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

(... is some random id that I have redacted)

That page responds with nothing. Looking through the network traffic, I see:

All of the above is with me having previously been signed in with Trakt in this browser. If I clear data for trakt.tv, that URL hits me with a Trakt login prompt but as soon as enter my credentials, the page just spins in Chrome. Safari gives the message "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid."

This is with the latest google Chrome and Safari on macOS. Ad blockers disabled.

I could provide server logs but that seems pointless, all of this is happening in a browser from the link Emby provided.

I've tried every day for the last 5 days with no improvement.

I've been a Emby (with Trakt plugin) user for years, and I'm having the same experience for the last few days.

Noticed watched status hadn’t been syncing from Emby to Trakt for a few days, and on the odd occasion this happens in the past, I simply get a new PIN via 'Get PIN' in Emby server settings. But this time when I click on 'Get PIN' I get routed to this URL, which produces a blank page:

https://trakt.tv/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=c4eb7ab4ec2ad77255a739f62102bed03a2f56514ab9d20a3001b87f6d465358&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

Where typically, I’d see this screen:

It might have something to do with this.

Thanks for the links, yes that looks like the same problem. 

I don't think all app connections with Trakt are broken. I have a couple of Kodi skins that I have successfully connected with Trakt via a PIN in the last few days.

"stupid password-less login"

I could not agree more, I absolutely cannot stand Trakt's new login pattern. Just let me enter my freaking password, you jerks.

Have you revoked your pin, then try to get a new one?

Is there a new Emby plugin available? It looks like they are using PIN authentication, but that has been unsupported for years now. Here is what should happen:

Emby generates and display a code in their app
You go to https://trakt.tv/activate and enter that code
Emby refreshes and you’re connected

Hopefully there is a new plugin with the correct type of device authentication. If not, Emby needs to update the plugin to use device authentication.

I'm using the latest Emby plugin.

Tried jellyfin Authorised without issue. jellyfin's Trakt plugin uses the modern Device Authorization flow (/oauth/device/code)

Emby's built-in Trakt plugin uses the old, legacy PIN flow.
