[FEATURE REQUEST] Stremio Addon for Automatic Watch Tracking
I would like to request a Stremio Addon that automatically updates the user’s Ryot account whenever they watch new content in Stremio. This feature is already available for services like Trakt and Simkl.
Proposed Functionality
- Automatically sync watched episodes and movies from Stremio to the user’s Ryot account.
- Allow users to authenticate their Ryot account within the addon to securely link watch data.
- Support tracking for TV shows, movies, and anime.
Technical Details
The addon can be developed using the Stremio Addon SDK, which is a modular JavaScript framework designed specifically for creating Stremio addons. The SDK allows developers to pick and choose the functionality they need and integrate them with the Stremio platform. It also supports features like private addons with access keys, enabling secure user authentication and data syncing.
Benefits for users
- Effortless Tracking: Users no longer need to manually update their Ryot watch history; it happens automatically while they enjoy content.
- Centralized Viewing History: Ryot becomes a single source of truth for watched content, improving recommendations and library management.
- Unified Experience: Users who use both Stremio and Ryot benefit from seamless integration, reducing friction and duplication of effort.
Benefits to Ryot
- Increased Engagement: Automatic syncing encourages users to keep Ryot updated, increasing platform activity and data accuracy.
- Broader Reach: Integration with Stremio exposes Ryot to a wider audience of media consumers who rely on Stremio for streaming.
- Competitive Feature: Offering a Stremio addon with scrobbling positions Ryot alongside other popular tracking services, enhancing its appeal.
Adding a Stremio Addon for automatic watch tracking to Ryot would greatly enhance user convenience and platform integration. It aligns with existing successful models like Trakt and Simkl, providing a proven value proposition for both users and Ryot.
