I’m looking to keep track of my watchlist/watched list. Found flox, watcharr, and MediaTracker.

Does anyone have experience with these or other alternatives?

    I personally use Media Tracker because it’s fast and have enough features for me.

    Ryot is another one that’s good.

    Flox hasn’t had a commit since 2020. It’s not being updated anymore.

      Ooh, ryot is really nice! And seems to have a similar feature set to Media Tracker, plus exercise. It’s also maintained actively.

      Have you used it before? Any warnings?

        I have used Ryot for a while. It is nice and has a lot of features. It has documentation, which is really nice.

        I am using Media Tracker because it has most of the features I need and it’s very fast. I wish it had genre sections like Ryot though. It looks like someone created an issue for it at least. Might go back to Ryot eventually, but we’ll see. Luckily Ryot has a Media Tracker import option.

          I was wondering why everyone kept talking about Media Tracker being fast. I finally installed RYOT, and wow is it slow, and resource intensive. It’s using more than 20% of the CPU on my NAS when it isn’t even open!

            Yup! Whereas with Media Tracker, everything is pretty much almost instantaneous for me.

            Ryot was too slow for me. It’s really bad when you try to mark multiple TV series seasons as “seen” at the same time as well.

    This is for music not watched content, but Maloja and Multi Scrobbler are a pretty nice setup.

    No recommendations for your actual post, but thought it might be useful for someone else.

      I was looking for watched content, but only because I didn’t think about music before! Will play around with it, thanks for the rec

    I use MediaTracker.

    I mostly watch stuff on Netflix and Amazon prime, never thought to see if there is a way to auto update my watch history. I’m terrible about remembering to update my watch history.

    I use MediaTracker, with the plugin for Jellyfin to track progress. It works pretty well. Kinda barebones and I’d like to see some creature comforts added, but the dev is busy (and they try to be responsive as best they can). I like that it is fully open source and lightweight. I almost did flox, but wanted movies and games too.

      I don’t really care about games (GOG galaxy works pretty well for that) but looks like flox also supports movies now, maybe a recent change?

    Update: I finally installed RYOT, and wow is it slow, and resource intensive. It’s using more than 20% of the CPU on my NAS when it isn’t even open! Might switch to Media Tracker…

    Has anyone gotten the Mediatracker scrobbler to work with Kodi? I tried and it doesn’t seem to update, at least with Seren, though I was under the impression scrobblers were addon independent.
