The Trakt 🎥 Plex ▶️ Discord 🎮 Rich Presence that you didn't know you needed.

Discrakt - Easy to Use Trakt/Plex Discord Rich Presence

A simple app that acts as a bridge between Discord and Trakt (and maybe even Plex), allowing for the display of the watch status as Discord's Rich Presence. Essentially, it's a Trakt/Plex Discord Rich Presence.

Protip: If you are already using Plex, and would like to link it with Trakt, you can use the Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler plugin.

If you already know Trakt and how awesome it is this is definitely the best option, as it works more reliably and with some extra benefits over the other implementations, such as registering your watch status wherever you are watching (TV, phone, across the world, etc.), in whatever app you are watching on (Netflix, Roku, Plex, HBO Max), as long as you have a single device running Discord and Discrakt.

Plex Rich Presence alternatives:

• discord-rich-presence-plex
• plex-rich-presence

Setup

1. Create an API Application on Trakt.tv (with scrobble capabilities and urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob as the redirect uri)
2. Edit the credentials.ini file with the required Trakt username.
3. Run the respective executable, and you're ready to start sharing your progress!

P.S. Discord needs to be running on the machine Discrakt is running on. P.P.S. Place the credentials.ini file in the same directory as the executable.

Running executables

Running the executables is as easy as clicking the provided executables in the latest release. That's it!

Optionally, after you ensure that everything is running correctly, you can also set the executable to run on startup, so that you don't have to run it manually every time you want to start sharing your watch status.

Linux/MacOS

Create a script that runs the executable silently and set it to run on startup in Unix/MacOS.

#!/bin/sh
nohup ./discrakt > /dev/null &

Windows

You can now use the silent Windows executable, and now you only need to follow this guide to run it on startup.

Scoop

You can install Discrakt in Scoop via the Extras bucket:

scoop bucket add extras # Ensure bucket is added first
scoop install discrakt

Development

Make sure you've installed Rust. You can install Rust and its package manager, cargo by following the instructions on rustup.rs. After installing the requirements below, simply run cargo run.

discrakt's Issues

(BAN-B310) Audit required: Use of an insecure method method from `urllib` detected

Description

urllib not only opens http:// or https:// URLs, but also ftp:// and file://. With this it might be possible to open local files on the executing machine which might be a security risk if the URL to open can be manipulated by an external user. Correct way: ```python # Validate …

Update Windows naming to match other OSs

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

Even though the .exe already reveals that it is a Windows binary, it should still match the naming used for other OSs.

Customization of the verb via .ini file

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

This is retry of #37 but only focusing on customization of the verb.
From https://discord.com/developers/docs/game-sdk/activities#data-models-activity-struct it is clear that we can use Streaming and Watching. Can we get an .ini configuration for the verb that is being used so we can set ActivityType to 1 or 3.

📝 Description

Previously I was able to use my own keys for Discord and TMDB, and I wish to continue to do so but recent changes, seem to have disabled that. That to me is a bug.

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Pull current latest release
2. Set Discord and TMDB API things in credentials.ini
3. See that those are not being used.

Restart Project

This has proven to have worked well enough for most users, however, it seems that the cross-platform compatibility of these Python executables generated by pyinstaller are not bullet proof (MacOS running problems).

As such, this issue wants to promote a restructure of this project in Rust with nickofolas/discord-rich-presence. This should be very easy to do as the business logic will essentially be the same, except with a different language. We will also benefit from a more performant executable with a smaller footprint as it does not need to be bundled with Python.

RPC not being cleared

RPC not being cleared after a user stops watching a show.

This was likely a bug introduced by accident.

Create a user friendly way of installing/running executable

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

Currently, the executable is composed of a single binary directly compiled from Rust. However, this is not the most user friendly way of installing/running for non-developers, especially in MacOS, as it can be seen in some comments in this reddit post.

Therefore, we should implement a way of generating some sort of app such as .dmg to facilitate its use in MacOS.

Potential solutions are many, however, one thing that might pose the biggest obstacle is signing the executable with an Apple Developer Account - example 1 / example 2.

Suggestion: Dynamic image

Hi, there is a project called "premid" and they found a way to use a dynamic cover in YTM and sound cloud, I hope we can implement it. I think they use URLs in place of imageKey

Their code

Thanks

Update

Even Netflix that's would be cool

Code

Support for private trakt profile

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

discrakt could detect if the user has manually checked-in an episode or movie and show it on Discord just like how a usual scrobble is displayed. For example when watching a movie on a DVD there is no way to scrobble it so the manual check-in function can be used instead.

1. Switch to Watching verb instead of Playing
2. Use the name of the TV Show or Movie instead the app name (as set when creating the app)

The goal is to achieve "Watching Star Trek" instead of "Playing Media" when the app is called Media.

IMDb and Trakt Buttons not working

📝 Description

I've installed the latest version of Rust and ran cargo run on the main branch of Discrakt. Everything is working fine regarding the app itself and rich presence, but the IMDb and Trakt buttons are not doing anything when you click on them in Discord.

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Install Rust
2. Open Terminal in Discrakt directory
3. Run cargo run
4. Play an episode of a show or a movie
5. Click on IMDb or Trakt buttons on Discord Rich Presence

Discrakt should find `credentials.ini` relative to executable path and instead of the current working directory

🔍 Is there already an issue for your problem?

• I have checked older issues, open and closed

📝 Description

I have added discrakt.exe in my PATH but running it gave me this error:

> discrakt
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: "couldn't open credentials.ini: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)"', src\utils.rs:13:36
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The credentials.ini file is inside the discrakt folder, and indeed changing my directory to that folder works. Discrakt should try to find credentials.ini relative to the executable path and instead on the current working directory.

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Configure credentials.ini
2. Add discrakt.exe to the PATH
3. Running discrakt will fail anywhere except in the executable directory

Built-in client IDs / API keys for Trakt, Discord, and TMDB

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

It would be more convenient if Discrakt used preset client IDs for Trakt and Discord. You would not need to do the Setup process. Just setup the Trakt user (or a --user flag for a no-config process) and run the application.
