What is PlexTraktSync?

PlexTraktSync is an open-source daemon that keeps your Plex library and Trakt.tv account in perfect sync. Watch something on Plex — it appears on Trakt. Mark something watched on Trakt — Plex reflects it. Ratings, collections, and watch history flow in both directions automatically.

Features

• 🔄 Two-way sync: Plex → Trakt and Trakt → Plex
• ⭐ Syncs ratings, watch history, and collection status
• 📋 Supports Trakt watchlists and custom lists
• 🕒 Runs as a daemon — syncs in real time as you watch
• 🎬 Works with movies and TV shows
• 🔌 Pairs with Overseerr and Tautulli for a complete Plex ecosystem

PlexTraktSync in Your Plex Ecosystem

PlexTraktSync is the glue between your private Plex server and the social layer of Trakt.tv. Combine it with Tautulli for playback analytics, Overseerr for request management, and Sonarr / Radarr to keep your library growing automatically.

Why ElfHosted?

PlexTraktSync needs to run continuously as a background daemon — if the process dies, your sync falls behind and you end up manually reconciling watch history. Running it on a home server means it stops when your machine sleeps. ElfHosted keeps PlexTraktSync running 24/7 next to your Plex instance so every play is captured in real time.

FAQ

Will it create duplicates on Trakt?
No — PlexTraktSync checks existing Trakt history before writing to avoid duplicates.
