trakt authentication failed

[nikosnik]

As reported here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=161319&page=7 the authentication method is dropped from trakt so this module can no longer work.
authentication should be updated to fix this

Doesn't look like this is going to be developed further, such a shame...only thing missing from my Kodi setup and really don't want to install illegal 3rd party add-ons to view my watchlist on trakt. Don't suppose anyone knows enough to fix it ?

[gudge25]

is there any workaround ?

I've been using skins from jurialmunk...such as artic zephyr 2 and artic horizon (which is in development but is awesome) anyways, it incorporates his own tmdb helper which has trakt integration and works a treat as it links directly to items in library. The tmdb helper addon should actually work basic with any skin as an add-on viewer for your watchlist, not sure if it would link to your library items for playback but you could certainly view your lists when authenticated. Bonus you could also view trakt/tmdb content lists in the add-on, and there is a context menu option to manage list through tmdb helper addon. I'd recommend giving his skin (artic horizon) a go as it's specifically written for the tmdb helper options in mind and pulls fanart artwork automatically for you without having to download 👍 (clearlogos,clearart) and the tmdb helper add on allows you to set these as custom widgets in the skin. Hope this helps.
