What is Trakt?

Automatically scrobble TV show episodes and movies you are watching to Trakt.tv! Keep a history of everything you've watched! Sign up for a free account at Trakt.tv and get a ton of features.

Why do I need this extension?

Trakt.tv has a lot of plugins to automatically scrobble the movies and episodes you watch from your media center. But there are none for Netflix. This extension allows you to scrobble from Netflix to Trakt.tv. Cool, isn't it?

How does traktflix work?

Unfortunately Netflix doesn't provide a public API, so the movie or episode info is extracted from the HTML of the player.

Limitations

This extension only works with Netflix HTML player and new layout. If you are in the old layout, please open the new one. See this link for more info: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742

Problems

If you find any problems or have suggestions or questions, feel free to open an issue

Multi-Account Containers / Temporary Containers (Firefox)

If you are using Multi-Account Containers on Firefox, make sure to enable the cookies permission in the options, otherwise the extension will not work properly. If you are using Temporary Containers in automatic mode, it might duplicate tabs when trying to login.

Development

Create an application in Trakt API.

Don't forget to check /scrobble permission.

In Redirect uri: put https://www.netflix.com/Activate

In Javascript (cors) origins: put https://www.netflix.com, moz-extension:// and chrome-extension://

Copy the config.json example file and change Trakt.tv credentials:
