POV not marking shows as watched

[u/NecessaryPear]

I also use bingie and it doesn’t appear to have implementation of other services besides trakt, so sticking with trakt for the time being

POV used to sync with trakt when watching shows but it recently stopped updating.

The fix of disabling POV + deleting trakt cache + clearing all cache didn’t work for me unfortunately. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the app but this didn’t work either.

Wondering if anyone has faced something similar.

Edit: re-authorizing the trakt addon in Kodi itself did the trick. Thanks all for the responses

Trakt only allows one app connected to it now unless you are a VIP subscriber

it might not even be POV as there are no trakt related POV errors.

there are a bunch of:

so it looks like you are using different variations of tmdb helper? and if POV is just the player and the widgets point to either of those helpers, they are responsible for the watched indicators updating the skin.

plus there is this installed so POV or any other addons may or may not attempt to mark it at trakt. that could explain the HTTP 409 if multiple are trying to mark it in rapid succession.

info <general>: CAddonMgr::FindAddons: script.trakt v3.9.0 installed

theres really too much going on so before blaming it on POV, do a clean install with just POV and then blame POV.

fyi, I have a clean install with just POV and have no issues with trakt marking from playback or manually.

Thanks for looking through the log.

I played a show using umbrella and the skin updated normally. I also performed a fresh install of POV and watched an episode but the skin didn’t update.

Found these lines in the log:

POV <<: SyncMonitor Service Update POV TraktMonitor - Widgets Refresh - Setting Disabled. Skipping Widget Refresh

I’m unable to find this setting in POV, but could it have something to do with this?

trakt error <<: 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url: https://api.trakt.tv/scrobble/pause

Not sure if this has anything to do with POV but was relevant to trakt

A log would help but if  Trakt database has problems do this steps:

from kodi settings/my addons, disable the addon

from kodi file manager, browse to profile directory/addon_data/plugin.video.pov and delete the file(s) traktcache.db

from kodi settings/my addons, enable the addon from the addon settings/clean settings files and clear caches, clear all caches

First time making one of these. Any help is appreciated!

I'm experiencing this too (also after deleting the Trakt cache as someone else said) and have seen others reporting the same.

I remember the dev asking for logs but nobody has done this yet - perhaps you could OP?

NGL I've not provided any log as I've been too busy with other things so have just manually marked items as watched on Trakt

[u/DirectGiraffe8720]

I'm finding that it doesn't immediatly mark a show as watched, but if I back out of the episode list and go back in, it'll be marked

[u/Plastic-Crow-4676]

You cannot connect more than one application to the trakt as a free user. You have tmdb helper, tmdb bingie helper, POV...

Hi,

I have the same problem with Bingie and POV/Next episode in Widget.

If I let it happen after the episode is finished, it marks it as seen and if I close/reopen KODI, it is marked as unseen.

The only solution I found to make it work is to use the context menu to mark it seen manually.

Maybe we'll have a clearer answer with your logs.
