Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I’m looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.
So far, I’ve found:
- devfake/flox - the original, hasn’t been updated in 5 years
- Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
- MediaTracker - “highly inspired by flox” and also tracks books and computer games
These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you’re watching.
Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker’s README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?
EDIT: Suggestions from this thread:
Trakt also sells your data off to whoever wants it even though they explicitly say that they don’t. https://trakt.tv/privacy
I hadn’t had anything on any ad service about harry potter in years. Never searched anything about it or anything. Watched a quarter of one movie via jellyfin on linux completely locally with the trakt plugin. A few hours later I had harry potter advertisements everywhere that I don’t have an ad blocker.
Did you search for the file off of your vpn?
