Don't really have time/motivation to dev right now. So probably not in the foreseeable future.
And I would also need to check with the trakt guys how okay that is, as we would need to query their servers each X mins/secs. Polling is bad, but I don't think we have another option.

Apologies if I seem naive but what are some of the beneficial use cases of this service that can justify placing personal information on the internet? I am not trying to knock this, just trying to evaluate whether I should use it.
1. Sync all devices that you use inside your home. Kodi Library already does this.
2. Sync devices when you are traveling. But I cannot access my media from home when traveling so I cannot watch that media to track progress anyway.
3. Do 2 above with Internet sources. Are there legal streaming sources where you can do this (without having to manually enter status on Trakt.tv which seems not worth the trouble)
(If illegal sources which Kodi does not sanction, it is stupid to use service like this anyway not because you can set privacy so no one sees it but because there is proof stored on their servers which is not incriminating by itself but can be used in conjunction like the use of road toll data to bolster a case of piracy, so I am discounting this use case entirely)
What is the best use case for people who use this?
Thanks for any considerate replies.

Anything that is added directly to my kodi library is marked. I don't sync live TV but that is an option with some PVR backends I believe.

I understand, however with such (possibly valid) concerns perhaps the only real solution is to not use the internet for any such things at all...

Hi guys,
I have Kodi 16 on my windows and FireTVs linked to my trakt account. If I add a movie or show it syncs immediately with the other devices. However it does not sync watched shows (giving the check mark) and I am not able to resume from one device to another. I've tried tinkering with the settings but can't seem to figure it out. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
