Hi,

I cannot click on the [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv) plugin in the web UI ([app.plex.tv](http://app.plex.tv)), therefore cannot open it.

AFAIK only the website directory.

I can still access it using the mobile app, it’s just the website that appears to be problematic.

So how do I access trakt on the web then? Calling this a bad decision is an understatement.

Since plugins are dead, all I can suggest, is using WebHooks for Trakt

See: [Plaxt 2 is live! Plugin-free alternative for scrobbling Plex plays to Trakt for Plex Pass subscribers and all their shared users!](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plaxt-2-is-live-plugin-free-alternative-for-scrobbling-plex-plays-to-trakt-for-plex-pass-subscribers-and-all-their-shared-users/348954)

That doesn’t pull watched status, which is my primary use case. If Plex had such a sync service (with Plex Pass, of course), this wouldn’t be an issue.

Plugin’s are not coming back, but if you ask for Trakt integration, then search here:

And if not found, create a thread there, and remember to vote for it as well
