Read on to find out why we think Trakt is a better solution rather than Kodi library integration. At first glance, Kodi library integration is a nice feature. You can add any show or movie from a single Kodi add-on into your library, creating a quick shortcut that links back into that add-on. It saves you time searching for your show every time you want to watch an episode and saves a few clicks navigating through the Kodi add-on. However, Kodi library integration is very basic and is a hassle to maintain the code. Kodi developers have been moving together towards more Trakt use and we think this is a great idea. Once you have an account setup, there are tons of Trakt apps so that you can keep everything organized from your phone. I use an app for the iPhone calledbut the maintains a list of add-ons that allow for Trakt account management. Here are some reasons why Trakt is superior over traditional Better than kodi library integration: Reason 1 — Trakt Support Goes Across Multiple Add-ons The number one reason why Kodi library integration sucks is because it only provides a shortcut into the one single add-on you used to save a show to your library. This means that if ever stops working and all of your library is added from there, it is useless. When you add a show to your collection, you can view your collection in any add-on that supports Trakt. The only thing that changes is that when you are in Exodus, all your shows link to the Exodus stream select. Likewise, in Velocity all of your shows link to the Velocity stream select. Your Kodi library is automated for every add-on. Reason 2 — Update your collection on-the-go When you add a show into your Trakt collection, your collection is viewable in,or any other Trakt-supported add-on. You can always view your collection from your mobile phone app and add, delete, and edit on the go as you please and it will all be updated when you get home and boot up Kodi. You no longer have to spend a bunch of time in the Kodi menus adding shows to your library. Keep your Kodi setup streamlined and move this functionality to Trakt, where you can get the information quickly on your phone without booting into Kodi. Tip: Trakt Collection Shortcut Create a shortcut to your Trakt collection inside of your favorite add-on and link to it from your Kodi main menu the same way your Kodi library integration works now and you get all of the benefits above with the same look and feel as the default library integration. Some skins, likeprovide an easy interface for setting better than kodi shortcuts on the main menu. better than kodi Agree or disagree with us. Let us know on or today. Then better than kodi can use trakt as a collection manager and have kodi integrate streams into the library directly from Trakt. Really, ideally, I want an app that will show me a list of better than kodi episodes from my Trakt list. I can, just by going to the site without an account, find out how many people are watching movies that are currently in the theater, and therefore, impossible to be legally watching these same movies at home. It provides me with a list of who is watching it. Hmm… Not in the least. Regardless, trakt does have legitimate uses, but even that legitimacy invades my privacy. Why do you care what I watch and when. And why do I have to tell you. For one, saying Trakt will remove a show from your list when you watch it is incorrect. These lists will grant you quick and easy access to every singly show you have started watching which has aired unwatched episodes. If you have also installed the Trakt List Manager, you can also remove items from other lists through kodi library simply by pulling up the menu and selecting Trakt Manager. Also the privacy concerns for Trakt might be better than kodi, Trakt is more private than a facebook account. You can go into your profile settings and place your profile of private. And unlike facebook, there is no way around these settings. The only people who can see your progress are the moderators and admins of Trakt itself and I highly doubt Trakt has any interest on giving out that kind of information to a 3rd party. So yes trakt is a fine replacement for Kodi library intergration in several cases but it is also a lot slower than the Kodi Library. All these connections to trakt put a severe load on the server. And the larger your Trakt Collection becomes the larger the waiting time. I can completely imagine that someone with a weaker internet connection might not even get through on a busy moment. I love trakt, I love keeping my lists up to date but for reliable information about air dates I still prefer to turn to the ImDb. Once in Kodi and again either in a browser or a phone app. Library integration was so much easier to use. It lets me easily add shows to my library via the mobile app and the recently added content function lets me watch new episodes without flipping through endless context menus. Trakt has been an excellent way to back up my watch lists, but exodus+trakt does replace Genesis. Pulsar had an addon that worked a little differently it would pull from Favourites. Not sure if you guys use smart phone remote controls… They also sync up with Kodi library, and are wonderful… Awesome… Thanks a lot for the efforts though. My privacy is just that — private. Plus, I do not know where all the content is coming from. I have no way of telling if it is pirated. Why should I put myself at risk like this. Seems like there is a great chance for another app or improvement to Kodi that can add a show to the Kodi Library and keep track of possible sources like Exodus very well done mind you…. Mainly bcz I can access the library through my cell phone remote, see whats there, and directly play the trailer or movie. How do you do that with Trakt. I already spent so many hours, and have not been able to find a way trying to use Exodus, that doesnt have library support at all. When I turn on Kodi i can see all my shows right there in recently added. Using library gives you flexibility so user can choose what to use. Also, it does update on the go as well. I do use paid Real-Debrid too though so that certainly helps.
