Hi everyone,
We're back with some more exciting news for those who use Kodi as their media center.
We've been working on a tracker (scrobbler) addon that lets you sync what you're watching between Kodi and TVmaze.
Scrobbling/tracking means that it automatically tracks what you’re watching.
Normally on TVmaze you can manually mark what you've watched on the calendar/watchlist or episode list. But with this Kodi addon you can automatically track on TVmaze which episodes you've watched in the Kodi media center.
Here's a list of what the addon does:
Kodi is one of the biggest media centers on the web. It's an open source application for streaming media content and completely free.
It can play various types of media such as videos and music. The service doesn’t provide any of its own media. Instead, it catalogs locally saved files, dvds, cd's and other sources from the internet. More detailed info here (wikipedia).
TVmaze is one of the web's most extensive TV information databases. We are a large community of people with a big heart for tv/web shows that curate all of the info available. Additionally TVmaze provides tools and features to keep track of your shows such as detailed calendars/watchlist/countdown/...
Step 1) You can find the TVmaze Tracker addon in the Kodi Repository in 'Program add-ons' (Or install it manually)
Step 2) Once the addon has been installed, and you run the tracker for the first time, it will ask for authorization in order to sync with your TVmaze account.
Step 3) Authorize the addon using the qr code or url
It's important to hear from you guys.
So let us know your thoughts in the comments and tell us how we can continue to improve.
A big shout-out to Roman V.M. from Kodi for collaborating with us on this addon.
Another big shoutout to Gazza911 for helping with tests and support.

Complimentary, ever since last year there is also a Kodi meta-data addon that provides additional show & episode info.
Just fantastic! That's exactly what I wanted!
Congratulations to the developers!
Gotta say, I completely forgot about reporting my issues on Github but now that the addon got updated to v1.0.1, syncing seems to be working just fine.
10/10 addon!
Thanks for this addon. I look forward to trying it out. A related note for Kodi and TVmaze users: For those who are unfamiliar with MythTV, it is DVR software and compatible with Kodi. Kodi can be used to view recordings and live TV from a computer in your home with MythTV installed. The Kodi frontend for MythTV is an official Kodi addon. Mythrecmaze is a small program that allows TVmaze users to automatically have MythTV record the the shows they are following on TVmaze.
In this version you can't. We'll take what you've said as a feature request.
Each member of my family have their own TVmaze accounts. How can I inform Kodi which of us are watching so that Kodi can update each of our accounts? [Am I going to have to patch my copy of Kodi and use your lovely API again?]
That's good to hear, I need to figure out if it's the Mi TV Stick that's the problem or my +6k TV episodes.
Ah, will do.
It should work for anyone even without premium.
If you're having issues, it's advised that you create a case in the repo and provide an error log so that Roman can look into it. https://github.com/romanvm/kodi.tvmaze.scrobbler/issues
Since authentication works just fine but syncing doesn't, does this only work for Premium users or is the issue on my end?
Works like a charm well done :)
