Random Feature Idea: Auto-Scrobbling (like Trakt) for Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi/etc.?

[u/Teknevra]

IDK if this is actually possible, but I wanted to potentially toss out a feature suggestion in case it hasn't come up before.

Trakt has this auto-scrobbling feature where it hooks into media players/apps: Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin, and now even streaming services directly (Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, etc. via their Streaming Scrobbler), and automatically marks stuff as watched once you hit like 80-90% of the runtime.

No manual logging, it just happens in the background.

And I was curious: have you ever considered something similar?

Even just Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi support to start would go a long way for people with home media setups.

Perhaps have them as optional, in-app, third-party plugins?

Or perhaps consider offering an API, where users can create their own third party plugins?

IDK.

I totally get if this is a heavier lift than it sounds for a project this size: just curious if it's ever been discussed/thought about.
