Trakt plugin unable to Get PIN

[gustms 2]

It's sad because the week before this started, my Trakt plugin updated 3 times (3.8.5, 3.8.6, then 3.8.8). Now suddenly, it stops working completely, and we hear nothing about it being worked on...

I can confirm that I have the same problem.
Running server 4.9.5.0 in an Unraidsystem (Linux).
It is impossible to get a new "pin" and it is an "oath" problem.

Hopefully our clever developers can find out of it.

I fixed the problem with the help of Codex. I would like to share the .dll if the Emby Team allows me.

In conclusion:
1. Codex downloaded and decompiled the .dll of trakt 3.8.8.0 plugin.

2. Codex Re-developed the new auth process upon the 3.8.8.0 and then compiled a new version based on that.

3. Stop the server and replace the .dll manually and then start the server again.

4. Open plugin, click auth, go through the auth process. (wait for the code, open the trakt activate page, input the code, click "ok" and "Authorize", go back to plugin page and wait for the finish.)

Are you willing to share the recompiled dll? Or does this go against Emby's t&c?

In my opinion this solution is not possible. (patching the dll-file)
It is possible to change/update the way "oath" is handshaking in the dll.
(trakt.configuration.trakt.html inside the dll-file)
But the Emby Trakt plugin still expects a pin code to be written in Emby by user.

And that is not how Trakt is working now since the update.
The new Trakt shall communicate with Emby to show/provide the code inside Emby interface.
(not old style copied from Trakt homepage).

To do that - it would take a full re-writing of the code in trakt.dll.
And maybe even some fixes in Emby interface so it can receive the code automatically from Trakt.

But it is just my opinion......

Well @MrNo0000says it works, so let's go with that factual response. Given the radio silence from Emby devs, perhaps they will provide via DM.

I want to but I am not sure if it's against the rules. So I'm a little bit hesitate.

I was concerned if it can work at first. But then the de-compiling works perfectly so it just figured out. 

And what you said is right, the auth process was re-written and also the interface changed. I put some screenshots for you.

I think anyone who has Codex or Claude could re-do this.

@LukeHi Luke, can I share my solutions to other users for free?

Nice working 
That is a major re-write. Well done.

Potential new Emby User here, I finally wanted to make the switch from Plex to Emby and tried following the Migration Guide provided by Emby and I am completely frustrated.

The guide says to "Install and setup Trakt Scrobbler in Plex and sync your watch history" 
-> Does not work, Trakt Scrobbler seems to be outdated since Trakt does not support non-https redirect URIs. Found another tool that works, got my watch status synced from Plex to Trakt. First annoyance solved.

Then I try to import my watch status from Trakt to Emby and this also does not work. Next annoyance with no workaround.
These are the exact problems that made me want to switch from Plext to Emby. Plex does not give a .... about the issues that users experience with their product, but since this seems to be the same with Emby, I guess I won't make the switch.

Thank you! Worked fine on one of my servers; will test on the other later today.

[jpangers 1]

Updated to 3.8.10.0 and the connection to Trakt is working  

[so7ow 0]

Worked for me!

[BlakeJFarber 3]

Worked for me as well!

Was able to Generate a TRAKT code, activate it via the link, and confirmed Watched Status was sent to trakt via Scheduled Tasks with 'Export Library to Trakt' (even those watched over the past cpl weeks while integration was broken).

Does not work for me. Freshly installed Emby instance, installed latest Trakt plugin version (3.8.10.0), restarted the server, clicked on "Get PIN" in the Trakt user settings page, a new tab opens in the browser, the follogin dialog appears, I click on the "Authorize" (Autorisieren) button, nothing happens.




I would have expected to get an authentication PIN to enter into the Trakt settings in Emby or that the PIN would somehow be retrieved automatically, but not sure what the expected result should be because I could not find any documentation. 
Then I thougt, maybe it already worked somehow and tried to run the scheduled taks, but it runs for 0 seconds:

You haven't updated your plug-in. That's the old one still.

[signde 33]

Was still broken for me as well after updating to the latest plugin v 3.8.10.0. 

Installed updated plugin. Restarted Emby. The Trakt user settings still showed "Get PIN" which resulted in the same old broken flow.

Refreshed the Trakt preferences web page with dev tools open (which I have set to disable cache) and then saw "Generate TRAKT code" instead of Get PIN.

I suspect the Trakt preferences page was being served from cache even though I restarted Emby server.

[BlakeJFarber 3]

And if you have updated your plug-in, you need a fresh browser session (you should not see 'Get PIN' but rather a 'Generate TRAKT code' button):

Appears to work for me now as well. Manually synced to get Trakt caught up. Scrobbling appears to work as well. 

Thanks
