Find where to watch something with "Discover" and your "Watchlist"

Trakt is great with Plex. When you add a show or movie that is matched with The New Agent (or the old TVdb or TMdb) it will show that it is “Collected” & even show when you added it to your library & the format & resolution of your copy. When you watch it it will update your play status & will even show that you are partway through a movie. I just went to try to show you this, but it seems I need to update my connection. The connection isn’t seemless & requires a PlexPass to use the webhooks, but I believe if you pay for the pro version of Trakt (Really not worth it IMO) it’s easier to setup.
So it looks like I have to reset it up, I have had to do that probably once a year, but it may be that Plex no longer supports it. When it DID work it was nice. It was also kinda cool that you can kinda sync it with Netflix & probably the others, but for that it requires you to use Netflix in a Browser with the Chrome Extension installed. So it wasn’t very useful for me personally. If you want to DM me I’ll let you know when I get it working & I’ll share the setup guide wherever I find it

EDIT: It looks like it was working, but it doesn’t seem to add the “Collected” anymore, just the watched, & it seems like it may have some holes there (A bunch of shows I have finished have random episodes in the middle that say they aren’t watched). & the support page it looks like a lot of people are having problems logging on to their Plex accounts, & the Scrobbler program doesn’t appear to be maintained anymore. There is another that says you don’t need to have a Plex Pass, but also doesn’t use the Webhooks, so it runs outside of Plex & syncs your plays on a schedule instead of being about to see where you are on Trakt at the current moment.

Here’s the one I use, but seems to be getting long in the tooth

Here’s the New one that I haven’t tried yet:

There’s also another option, I have it setup, but I liked Trakt a lot more, but SIMKL also syncs with Plex, & it does so a LOT simpler. You just goto Apps on the site & copy the Webhook, then paste it into Plex

EDIT: I Think this one is the one that actually is still working via Webhooks:
