There's Ryot.
Besides that, there's also Movary, which has contributions from yours truly, but it only supports tracking movies at the moment. I'm planning on adding TV show support later, probably after the first stable 1.0 has released (In my mind it'll probably be major release 2.0 or 3.0). The main dev and I don't have much time these days, so it might take a while...
Do you know if ryot auto scrobbles?
I use Tautulli, but I'm not sure if that is going to cover all the same use cases.
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?
I think I tried out mediatracker but switched to watcharr because of how much faster it was but I just tried out the demo for mediatracker and it seems to buy much faster than what I remember maybe will try it out again
+1 for Watcharr
I use mediatracker but later versions seem to load a lot slower. I have mine pinned at version 0.2.5. The demo looks like an even older one.
Ok thanks. I'm pretty happy with watcharr at the moment.
Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).
Not that you shouldn't self-host an alternative, but you don't have to.
I'd like to track these things:
I believe TMDB only does the first. And self-hosting makes sure the data stays under my control and the service doesn't vanish or gets paywalled anytime soon.

I use this one for my Emby server and it keeps track of what we watch, and so far so good. I made it our Trakt.tv replacement and have no complaints so far.
If I remember right, the Kodi addon for Mediatracker doesn't work, which would be a dealbreaker for me as we watch everything via Kodi debrid addons.
I've been looking for one as well to no avail. Let me know if you find a suitable replacement
The seriesguide app for Android is just about perfect. You can't self host but still
After trying Watchstate and Ryot it depends on what you want. Do you just want an easy easy to backup/sync playstate between platforms? Watchstate. Do you need more? Not Watchstate.
