Yeah I've been looking at Simkl and trying to work it out. The main features I cared for in Trakt are the ability to of course trakt views, which it was doing in real time and is pretty cool, to be able to link multiple JF users to 1 Trakt account and, because Trakt would import your entire JF library, the calander function for knowing which TV shows had new episodes. I connected my Trakt account to my friends for the "social" aspect but that was really only minor. I set up the other users of my server with Trakt for the watched monitoring abilities as well, more as a back-up incase something happens to my database (again).
I know there are a ton of other features and stuff Trakt does that other users enjoy and that's great, but I don't use any of them. I don't have streaming subscriptions and I don't need more places to bury my face away from actually enjoying my media and life in general. Not shaming those who find value in that it's just not for me. So for what I was getting from Trakt any inconvinience of site ads and what not were fine. This redicilous move to a paywall of $60 annual for just those 3 noted functions is hilarious and I'm not the only one voicing my displeasure there. Instead of taking the negative response with some reflection they continue to double and triple down, blame everything else for the self inflicted harm and bury their heads in the sand. Sucks but what can you do.
So far with Simkl I haven't found a library export nor real time monitoring. It does seem to link multiple JF accounts though and it did import over my Trakt watches but not my entire collection. There's no real controls in the plugin for updating or bringing in your watches that I can find so it has less options available than Trakt currently does. But it's something and it doesn't hurt having 2 such services running at the same time right now. The site also seems to make it much easier to remove false hits to so I don't keep seeing recoomendations to watch shows I never have nor never will.
For any frustration I have with Jellyfin I am EXTREMELY greatful for what it is and how much time and effort is now saves me. It's opened an entire new dimension to my media server hobby, the extension of my long-time media collecting hobby, and I hope to help make suggestions for future improvements even if I'm not a power user compare to others. And as always very appretiative of all teh elp offered here. I've been in other places, not dissimilar to how Trakt has been acting, where even just posing the question "why" gets you banned.
