Why not use the Jellyfin trakt/simkl plugins?

[michalss]

well simply that is useless and server-side only. Means, only admins can set token up. :( Also it does not work in all clients well, cross all platforms.

And most important missing completely own lists capabilities.

While I understand the issue, it's probably better to ask the developers of the Trakt plugin to improve on the UI.

Because this would be very low on the list of things to implement, for me at least.

It is not a problem with the plugin itself really. Problem is how jellyfin plugin system works on the first place. Every plugin works only in server side kind of way. You cannot bring this functions to frontend to users. This wont change anytime soon, or even ever. And also even if devs woud bring the custom user lists to live, it wound not be matter really since the normal users wont see them anyway.

But in general to make your application extendable with plugin is something what sort lots of issue and requests. it is not only about trakt but also about many other possible services.
