Hi all
i posted this a few months ago and got zero responses (thread was closes)…hopefully better luck now ;D
i am looking for a simple way (webhook?ssh?other) to simply log into a text file every TV series /Movie i finish watching.
i don’t really want to use an external service (such as trakt) so looking for a local solution. Im not vey technical so i am wondering if there are any examples the community can share that people have been using?
thanks a lot in advance

Well, you could export the metadata from PMS using like:
The field you want is named “View Count”
Note though, that for episodes, I forgot to add it, so that’ll only be present when next release is launched
thx so much @dane22
this looks fantastic, installed it on my mac and it seems to work great!
a few questions
any way to automate this (weekly, daily etc)?
can one create 1 file/export with multiple media libraries (for movies, tv etc)
Note though, that for episodes, I forgot to add it, so that’ll only be present when next release is launched
cool ill wait for the next release
thx so much for this epic add on!
best

Automation is not possible, but who knows what the future might bring 
(After all, it’s still in Beta)
Edit: [RFE] Automation · Issue #370 · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG · GitHub
Nope, it’s Lib Centric
Also take a look at Tautulli. You could automate some stuff using scripts, I believe.
And adding to the export here…
If you create a Smart Playlist, that filters on “Unplayed is false” for movies, and one that filters on “Unplayed Episodes is false” for episodes, then you can export those playlists, resulting in a much faster export 
thx @CostaHT !
that was what i initially thought of using, but couldn’t get the hang of it. Do you have any experience which Tautuli?
thx
thx @dane22 !
will try today
On Tautulli you can create a Notification type Script, and use a script to echo the movie name and any other detail of it to your text file.
This would be the trigger:
These are the parameters you’re looking for:
I don’t know why you need this, but if the idea is to be notified that someone has finished watching a movie, you can use their Notification Agents and send yourself notifications using e-mail, telegram, discord and many others.
thx @CostaHT !
i want to be able to log every movie/series i watch into a simple text file (Can be csv etc as well) so that i have a long term recored (im getting old and the memory cells aren’t as they used to be 
).
i hate using 3rd party closed apps (such as Trakt) so i though a simple text file that updates itself could be a good local solution. im very open to any other options if available 
I will look again into the Tautulli Notification Script, even though i tried that a few months ago an failed miserably (im not super technical :))
thx again, appreciate all your help guys!

New version of WebTools-NG avail.
If you in global settings ask to subscribe to betas, you should be notified when relaunching
Otherwise, manually download and run it again
And contains the missing “view count” for episodes
thx @dane22!
