Install traktarr to be run with traktarr command.

1. cd /opt

2. sudo git clone https://github.com/l3uddz/traktarr

3. sudo chown -R user:group traktarr (run id to find your user / group)

4. cd traktarr

5. sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

6. sudo ln -s /opt/traktarr/traktarr.py /usr/local/bin/traktarr

7. traktarr - run once to generate a sample a config.json file.

8. nano config.json - edit preferences.

2. Create a Trakt Application

1. Create a Trakt application by going here

2. Enter a name for your application; for example traktarr

3. Enter urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob in the Redirect uri field.

4. Click "SAVE APP".

5. Open the traktarr configuration file config.json and insert the Client ID in the client_id and the Client Secret in the client_secret, like this:

       {
           "trakt": {
               "client_id": "my_client_id",
               "client_secret": "my_client_secret_key"
           }
       }
   

3. Authenticate User(s) (optional)

For each user you want to access the private lists for (i.e. watchlist and/or custom lists), you will need to to authenticate that user.

Repeat the following steps for every user you want to authenticate:

1. Run traktarr trakt_authentication

2. You wil get the following prompt:

   - We're talking to Trakt to get your verification code. Please wait a moment...
   - Go to: https://trakt.tv/activate on any device and enter A0XXXXXX. We'll be polling Trakt every 5 seconds for a reply
   

3. Go to https://trakt.tv/activate.

4. Enter the code you see in your terminal.

5. Click continue.

6. If you are not logged in to Trakt, login now.

7. Click "Accept".

8. You will get the message: "Woohoo! Your device is now connected and will automatically refresh in a few seconds.".

You've now authenticated the user.

You can repeat this process for as many users as you like.

}

Core

"core": {
  "debug": false
},

debug - show debug messages.

• Default is false (keep it off unless your having issues).

Automatic

Used for automatic / scheduled traktarr tasks.

Movies can be run on a separate schedule then from Shows.

Note: These settings are only needed if you plan to use traktarr on a schedule (i.e. via manual/CLI command only); see Usage.

"automatic": {
  "movies": {
    "anticipated": 3,
    "boxoffice": 10,
    "interval": 24,
    "popular": 3,
    "trending": 2,
    "watchlist": {},
    "lists": {}
  },
  "shows": {
    "anticipated": 10,
    "interval": 48,
    "popular": 1,
    "trending": 2,
    "watchlist": {},
    "lists": {}
  }
},

interval - specify how often (in hours) to run traktarr task.

anticipated, popular, trending, boxoffice (movies only) - specify how many items from each Trakt list to find.

watchlist - specify which watchlists to fetch (see explanation below)

lists - specify which custom lists to fetch (see explanation below)

Personal Watchlists

The watchlist task can be scheduled with a differtent item limit for every (authenticated) user.

So for every user, you will add: "username": limit to the watchlist key. For example:

"automatic": {
  "movies": {
    "watchlist": {
        "user1": 10,
        "user2": 5
    }
  },
  "shows": {
    "watchlist": {
        "user1": 2,
        "user3": 1
    }
  }
},

Of course you can combine this with running the other list types as well.

Custom Lists

You can also schedule any number of public or private custom lists.

For both public and private lists you'll need the url to that list. When viewing the list on Trakt, simply copy the url from the address bar of the your browser.

Public Lists

Public lists can be added by specifying the url and the item limit like this:

"automatic": {
  "movies": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/rkerwin/lists/top-100-movies": 10
    }
  },
  "shows": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/claireaa/lists/top-100-tv-shows-of-all-time-ign": 10
    }
  }
},

Private Lists

Private lists can be added in two ways:

1. If there is only one authenticated user, you can add the private list just like any other public list:

"automatic": {
  "movies": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/user/lists/my-private-movies-list": 10
    }
  },
  "shows": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/user/lists/my-private-shows-list": 10
    }
  }
},

2. If there are multiple authenticated users you want to fetch the lists from, you'll need to specify the username under authenticate_as.

Note: The user should have access to the list (either own the list or a list that was shared to them by a friend).

"automatic": {
  "movies": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/user/lists/my-private-movies-list": {
            "authenticate_as": "user2",
            "limit": 10
        }
    }
  },
  "shows": {
    "lists": {
        "https://trakt.tv/users/user/lists/my-private-shows-list": {
            "authenticate_as": "user2",
            "limit": 10
        }
    }
  }
},

Filters

Use filters to specify the movie/shows's country of origin or blacklist (i.e. filter-out) certain keywords, genres, years, runtime, or specific movies/shows.

Movies

  "movies": {
    "allowed_countries": [
      "us",
      "gb",

    "blacklisted_tmdb_ids": []
  },

allowed_countries - only add movies from these countries.

blacklist_title_keywords - blacklist certain words in titles.

blacklisted_genres - blacklist certain genres.

blacklisted_max_year - blacklist release dates after specified year.

Note: The key name (i.e the name right under notifications) can be anything, but the "service": must be exactly "pushover".

Slack

Tags

The tags option allows Sonarr to assign tags to shows from specific television networks, so that Sonarr can filter in/out certain keywords from releases.

Example:

To show how tags work, we will create a tag AMZN and assign it to certain television networks that usually have AMZN releases.

1. First, we will create a tag in Sonarr (Settings > Indexers > Restrictions).

   Must contain: BluRay, Amazon, AMZN
   Must not contain:
   Tags: AMZN
   

2. And, finally, we will edit the traktarr config and assign the AMZN tag to some networks.

   "tags": {
     "amzn": [
       "hbo",
       "amc",
       "usa network",
       "tnt",
