How to Install and Setup Trakt for Kodi

The Trakt add-on for Kodi allows you to automatically scrobble all content you are watching to Trakt.tv. You can keep a comprehensive history of everything you've watched. Sign up for a free account at Trakt TV.

This add-on is great for syncing content across multiple devices but will only work if you already have a library with Movies and/or TV Shows and if you don't and want to learn how to then you can use my guide here .

How to Install and Setup Trakt for Kodi

Open Kodi
Select Settings (cog icon top left) - It may be System > Settings depending on which skin you are using

Select Add-ons

Select Install from Repository

Select Kodi Add-on repository

Select Program Add-Ons

Select Trakt

Select Install

Wait for Add-on enabled notification

A popup will now appear asking you to go to https://trakt.tv/activate

Open that address in your web browser
Enter the PIN that was given to you in the popup in Kodi & select Continue

Select Yes when asked if you want to allow Trakt for Kodi to use your account

The message on Kodi should now disappear and you should see the authorisation notification

Highlight Trakt - DO NOT CLICK ON IT

Open the Context Menu (C on your keyboard, right click with a mouse, long press on touch screen devices or Menu button on your remote) and select Settings

In Exclusions enable Exclude Live TV

In Synchronize select Service section and enable everything in there

Still in Synchronize scroll to the Movies section enable all 5 settings. If you don't want movies removing from your Trakt collection when deleted from your library then do not enable that setting

Still in Synchronize scroll to the TV Episodes section enable all settings. If you don't want episodes removing from your Trakt collection when deleted from your library then do not enable that setting

Select Rating and choose the settings you want as this is down to personal preference but I normally enable them all

Select OK when completed to save your settings.

With these settings Trakt will run when you boot your Kodi device to make sure your library is synced. It will also run when you update your library. Each time you watch content it will scrobble to your Trakt account so each device that you use Trakt on will be synced with each other.
