Restore watched state after moving media files

[KodiUser1138]

You don't need to export your collection to Trakt to have it track your views. You used to be able to, and it was a nice feature. But then the Trakt team decided to get greedy and piss a ton of people off and close down any discussion opposing their cash grab. You can still add endless views to your profile and up to 100 items to your "watch list" on their site/aap. If you watch something from your watch list it is supposed to move from the watch list to your views list but I've not tested that yet myself.

But yes using Trakt is the answer you are looking for. you can try SIMKL but it isn't (yet) as featureful as Trakt which I use for the callander to keep track of upcoming tv episodes.

PLus you can link multiple servies to your one Trakt account, including multiple Jellyfin profiles. And of course different JF profiles to differentTrakt accounts. I've done both and it's still working quite well even if the syncs aren't instant between all instalations. Mine is set to update and sync watched status once daily.

It's a nice feature because I can track what my mom views while she can't remember anymore. Or connect with friends and so on.

And don't pay Trakt for the basic feature that was previously free if you aren't using the more advanced things they've always paywalled before. The argument isn't worhth it. They made their choice and saw a lot of long-time paid users cancel their subscriptions for it.
