Save the Python script (📗Step 3 - The Code ) as mytrakt.py on your computer.

Run the Program:

  • Open your terminal or command prompt.
  • Navigate to the directory where you saved mytrakt.py
  • Run the script using Python:
    • plain text
      mytrakt.py

Enter API Credentials:

  • When you run the program for the first time, a window will pop up asking for your Trakt Client ID, Trakt Access Token, and TMDB API Key.

Using the Program

  • The main window will display your Trakt watchlist.
  • Use the filters and sort options to customize the display.
  • Click on a movie to see its details.
  • Use the Pick a Random Movie button to get a random movie suggestion from your watchlist.
  • The Reset Filters button will reset all the filters.
  • The Reset API Keys button will open a confirmation dialog to reset your API keys.

Notes

  • Caching: The program caches movie posters in a directory named poster_cache. This helps to speed up the display of posters after the initial load.
  • Updating Data: The program fetches additional movie data in the background when it first runs. A loading indicator will show the progress.
