# NAME

trakts - a trakt.tv scrobbler for vlc, plex, mpv, mpc-be/mpc-hc.

# SYNOPSIS

 `trakts` [*OPTION...*] \<command> [args]

# DESCRIPTION

Trakt.tv has a lot of [plugins](https://trakt.tv/apps) to automatically scrobble the movies and episodes you watch from your media center. But there is a dearth of up-to-date apps for syncing your progress on Desktop environments. This is where `trakt-scrobbler` comes in! It is a Python application that runs in the background and monitors your media players for any new activity. When it detects some file being played, it determines the media info (such as name of the movie/show, episode number, etc.) and sends this to trakt servers, so that it can be marked as "Currently Watching" on your profile. No manual intervention required!
