- Trakt.tv account
- Trakt.tv App API Key
- Discord App API Key
- Local Discord client for RPC connectivity
Install all relevant Python 3 packages to connect Trakt.tv and Discord (sudo as neccessary):
pip3 install pytrakt
Create a Trakt API App (https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications) named "Discord" and set the following Redirect URI for OAuth:
urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
Record the Client ID and Client Secret for initializing the Trakt API module. Using this information and your Trakt username, run trakt_init.py, receiving a PIN from Trakt at the end (requires sign-in):
[user@host trakt-discord-presence]$ ./trakt_init.py <trakt username>
If you do not have a client ID and secret. Please visit the following url to create them.
http://trakt.tv/oauth/applications
Please enter your client id: <client id>
Please enter your client secret: <client secret>
Please go here and authorize, https://api.trakt.tv/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&...
Paste the Code returned here: <trakt code>
This will cause Trakt API information to be stored in ~/.pytrakt.json for future reference.
Create a Discord API App (https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/) named "Trakt" and record the Discord Client ID for authorizing the trakt-discord application.
Navigate to <Application Settings/Rich Presence/Art Assets> and upload the three icons found in icons/.
Configure the Discord app as follows:
| Area | Option | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| General Information | App Icon | icons/large/trakt.png |
| Rich Presence | Large Image Key | trakt |
| Rich Presence | Small Image Key | play |
| Art Assets | Cover Image | icons/large/trakt.png |
The Trakt-Discord connector may be ran directly or called via another script for ease-of-use. The application may be ran directly as so:
[user@host trakt-discord-presence] ./trakt_discord.py <trakt username> <discord client id>
To not have to keep referencing the Discord Client ID manually, this may be scripted as:
#!/bin/bash
./trakt_discord.py <trakt username> <discord client id>If the above steps were successful, output similar to the following should be visible (assuming the user is not currently checked in on Trakt; and assuming a bash script was created named watch.sh):
[user@host trakt-discord-presence] ./watch.sh
** Successfully conected to Trakt
Trakt: not playing
This script may then run on startup, if desired.
