[TOOL] YAMJ Trakt.tv App

[Omertron]

There is an excellent web site called Trakt.tv that is sort of a last.fm of movies and TV Shows.

I encourage you all to install the excellent PCHTrakt CSI application to allow your videos to be scrobbled to the site. An additional benefit is that the PCHTrakt application will also write out watched files for use by YAMJ.

All this is well and good, but you need a way to "upload" all your current collection. So enter YAMJTraktApp.

This is a simple application that will read your "CompleteMovies.xml" file from the jukebox and upload the videos to Trakt.tv

Download the application from here
http://mediaplayersite.com/YAMJTrakt

Usage instructions:

• When you run the application you need to enter your information for the Trakt.tv website. Your password will be encrypted for processing.
• You can get your API key from http://trakt.tv/settings/api
• You will then need to browse to your jukebox location and select the CompleteMovies.xml.
• Once the CompleteMovies.xml file has been selected you need to Process it.
• Once the processing has finished, you will need to Process the file to Trakt.tv.
  

WARNING: This can take a LONG time, even with 2-4 threads.
You can get rejected from the site and there can be occasional errors when uploading the information.

Have fun!

---

Note: This is really designed as a one shot application. Once you have run it and uploaded all your videos, there is no need to keep running it. You should use the PCHTrakt application to keep on top of the new videos you've watched.

If you use sickbeard that will add the downloaded TV episodes to Trackt for you as well.

[kaowain]

whoho nice!!!! tested and approved.
it's the complement of pchtrakt

[Gorgonzola]

works just fine!
It would be great to do this own plugin trak.tv yamj

[Omertron]

I had thought about that, but the chances are that things don't change that often in your library and hitting trakt.tv for the one or two that do change is not really a good use of the API.

You really should use the pchtrakt app to do that for you

[accident]

he does have a point though, if your adding something new liek an episode, does that mean you have to keep rerunning this app just because you added a new episode?

[Omertron]

No, the app is designed to be a single shot, upload the majority of your library. Updates are done using the PCHTrakt app

[accident]

oh that makes sense.. so send up your library once and delete the application. pchtrakt as you watch updates for newer things.

You might want to make that clear in the first post that it's really a 1 time use application and never needs to be run again

Well i cant find the CompleteMovies.xml file. Its not in the Yamj folder. I have Eversion as skin.
The moviejukebox.properties file in the main folder is set to: Enable the CompleteMovies.xml and RSS.xml output files
complete.movies.enable=true

So how comes it doesnt make a CompleteMovies.xml file?

[accident]

it's in the jukebox folder

Check your log file, right near the end there should be some lines like this:

PHP Code:

[20:22:33 - main    ] Generating Index file from jukebox-index.xsl
[20:22:33 - main    ] CompleteMovies: RSS is generated.
[20:22:33 - main    ] Copying new files to Jukebox directory...

thanks so much for this utility Omerton - it works great!

any chance there might be something similar that could work in reverse for the watched feature? E.g. trawl your traktv account for watched videos / tv episodes and create watched files for your yamj jukebox where it finds that the episode has been watched but a yamj watched file is missing?

thanks!

Shouldn't be too difficult to do I suppose.
Depends on how many people want it

Hi,
I created a library on trakt.tv site with this tool, all was good, but since then none of my new tv series are uploaded by pchtrakt. Should I set something in it to do it, or what is going wrong?
All the scrobling works fine.
