Selfhosted Trakt.tv alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I've found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?

There's Ryot.

Besides that, there's also Movary, which has contributions from yours truly, but it only supports tracking movies at the moment. I'm planning on adding TV show support later, probably after the first stable 1.0 has released (In my mind it'll probably be major release 2.0 or 3.0). The main dev and I don't have much time these days, so it might take a while...

I think I tried out mediatracker but switched to watcharr because of how much faster it was but I just tried out the demo for mediatracker and it seems to buy much faster than what I remember maybe will try it out again

I use mediatracker but later versions seem to load a lot slower. I have mine pinned at version 0.2.5. The demo looks like an even older one.

Ok thanks. I'm pretty happy with watcharr at the moment.

Trakt also sells your data off to whoever wants it even though they explicitly say that they don't. https://trakt.tv/privacy

I hadn't had anything on any ad service about harry potter in years. Never searched anything about it or anything. Watched a quarter of one movie via jellyfin on linux completely locally with the trakt plugin. A few hours later I had harry potter advertisements everywhere that I don't have an ad blocker.
