Trakt token expiry (1 Viewer)

[brain1000]

Does anyone still use Trakt with MP1 ? Since earlier this year it seems that Trakt expires their tokens every 24 hours which causes Trakt within MP1 to stop working. (I am using V6.0.5.364)

Has anyone found a workaround - other than authorising the app every day?

eh hm, that could explain yesterday's miss of a watched movie.
I indeed use it quite a lot and didn't realize this. Don't have a solution (yet) though

Edit: just checked trakt logfile and it seems it successfully logged in (last time I authorized it it was at least 3 days ago)
Using the same version as you. do you still have usessl=no? because that stopped working a couple of days ago. setting it to yes (in mediaportal.xml as I was too lazy to try find that option in the UI) and authorize again did the trick
Not sure though what happend with yesterdays movie, for now I'll write it off as a fluke

Edit2: I refresh the Token, but i get 90 days

Yes, and the token expires about every 2-3 days, for about a month now.

Successful authorization. When you receive a 200 success response, save the access_token so your app can authenticate the user in methods that require it. The access_token is valid for 24 hours. Save and use the refresh_token to get a new access_token without asking the user to re-authenticate. It's normal OAuth from this point.

I saw on the Trakt forum that the API incorrectly returns the token expiration date, not 86400 (24 hours) but still 90 days, I need to look in the log file (I'm not at home now), if this is so, then we'll add a hack, and it should work.

i now see this in the logfile (been at least 3 days since i authorized it):
2025-09-15 16:00:36.195 [INFO] [CheckConnection][27]: The trakt access token has now expired as of 14/09/2025 12:48:30, requesting refresh token

The trakt access token has now expired as of 14/09/2025 12:48:30, requesting refresh token

And the refresh didn't go through?

yes that did work in the end.
lost the exact log but now I see

We need to catch the moment why authorization fails. And the token is not updated.
