With this guide I will show you how, for a wide range of add-ons, to import and sync your Trakt TV and your Kodi library (also works exactly the same with Trakt TV Watchlist, Trakt Movie Collection & Trakt Movie Watchlist).
You are not downloading anything to your device using this process. All you are doing is creating a library of .strm files which take up very little space. I have a show with 224 episodes and it takes up less than 1MB.
- Open Kodi
- Select Add-ons
- Open your Exodus fork. I am using Incursion
- Select Tools
- Select SETTINGS : Accounts
- Select Accounts from the left hand menu
- In the right hand side menu under Trakt select Authorisation
