# Discrakt - Easy to Use Trakt/Plex Discord Rich Presence
A simple app that acts as a bridge between [Discord](https://discord.com/) and [Trakt](https://trakt.tv) (and maybe even [Plex](https://www.plex.tv/)), allowing for the display of the watch status as [Discord's Rich Presence](https://discord.com/rich-presence). Essentially, it's a Trakt/Plex Discord Rich Presence.
**How it works**: Discrakt polls your Trakt.tv account for "currently watching" status and displays it on Discord. For this to work, **your streaming app must scrobble to Trakt** — meaning it reports what you're watching to Trakt in real-time.
Popular apps with Trakt integration include:
- **Stremio** — Enable the [Trakt addon](https://www.stremio.com/addons) in Settings → Addons
- **Plex** — Use the [Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler](https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler) plugin
- **Kodi**, **Infuse**, **VLC** and [many more](https://trakt.tv/apps)
Once your app is scrobbling to Trakt, Discrakt will display your watch status on Discord — **wherever you are watching** (TV, phone, across the world), **in whatever app**, as long as you have a single device running **Discord** and **Discrakt**.
## Features
- 🌐 **Multilingual support** (Automatic system detection & Tray menu selection)
- _Localized titles for movies and episodes are fetched via TMDB._
- Separate Discord Rich Presence apps for Movies and TV Shows
- Movie posters and show artwork displayed via TMDB
- Direct links to IMDB and Trakt pages
- Progress bar showing watch percentage
- System tray integration with pause/resume functionality
- Start at login option
- Browser-based setup wizard with OAuth device flow
Plex Rich Presence alternatives:
- [discord-rich-presence-plex](https://github.com/Phineas05/discord-rich-presence-plex)
- [plex-rich-presence](https://github.com/Ombrelin/plex-rich-presence)
## Setup
1. Run the executable
2. A setup wizard opens in your browser
3. Enter your **Trakt username** — that's it!
A default Trakt Client ID is provided, so you don't need to create your own API application.
_Note: Discord needs to be running on the same machine as Discrakt._
Advanced: Manual Configuration
If you prefer to configure manually or use your own Trakt API application:
1. Create an API Application on [Trakt.tv](https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications/new) (with scrobble capabilities and `urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob` as the redirect uri)
2. Create a `credentials.ini` file with your settings
3. Place it in one of these locations:
| Operating System | Location | Example |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Linux | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`/discrakt or `$HOME`/.config/discrakt | /home/alice/.config/discrakt/credentials.ini |
| macOS | `$HOME`/Library/Application Support/discrakt | /Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/discrakt/credentials.ini |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%`\discrakt | C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\discrakt\credentials.ini |
