What is the architecture of your system? 32b or 64b? And what about your VLC installation?

[Generator]

64bit (Archlinux only supports 64bit) Also tried with TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2_linux and manualy compile trakt.luac from source $ vlc -I luaintf --lua-intf luac --lua-config "luac={input='trakt.lua',output='trakt.luac'}" Always ended with same result

[xaf]

Can you try by replacing the luac file by the lua one in the intf directory?

[Generator]

Copying trakt.lua show has installed, but not activated

[xaf]

Hm, yeah actually you would need to perform the steps manually, running the installation script would put the luac file back, and this file would be chosen over the lua one. Try putting the lua file and removing the luac one, then running the following command:

vlc -I lua intf --lua-intf trakt --lua-config 'trakt={autostart="enable"}'

[Generator]

That just spams trakt.lua on the playlist with the module disabled

vlc.log

UPDATE: After reinstalling TraktForVLC, and replace trakt.lua{c} again, shows a different output

vlc.log

What you had seems quite weird. Can you explain how you did reinstall TraktForVLC ? After reinstallation did you have the need to replace trakt.luac again by trakt.lua ?

[Generator]

on the first test i used trakt.lua from master branch with TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2_linux, then i upgrade to TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2.dev14.g31faf4b_linux, that's why gave different results

[xaf]

Did you still use the trakt.lua file from master branch or not?

[Generator]

Yes trakt.lua from master with TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2.dev14.g31faf4b_linux, i can try with trakt.lua from 31faf4b

UPDATE: Tried with with trakt.lua from 31faf4b but Trakt.tv is down at the time!

We're currently performing database maintenance and working to get back up and running ASAP. Thanks for your patience! https://twitter.com/trakt/status/994985699785900032

However here's a log vlc.log

[xaf]

I'm wondering why, on the same architecture, the luac file wouldn't work. I might need to put the lua file in the binaries instead of the luac one.
