As stated in a previous topic I've opened a few minutes ago, I'm a very happy Mezzmo user.
A friend of me forwarded me to the 'trakt.tv' website, which keeps an online track of the series/movies you've watch, link is : http://trakt.tv/
It's easy to share information between friends what series you are watching, which series you have available, etc...

To make use of trakt.tv, you need a synchronisation between your current media player (or htpc) and trakt.tv
They point out a download page where you can download a connector for 'all popular media players' out there. Here comes the catch...Mezzmo is unknown. See for yourself: http://trakt.tv/downloads
Some friends are saying: just throw Mezzmo away, and go XBMC. But since I'm a happy Mezzmo user (and I've paid for a license ofcourse)... I don't feel like giving up Mezzmo that fast.

This topic can probably only be answered by Mezzmo staff, but is there any way to make use of Mezzmo and sync with trakt.tv right now?
Or are there any plans to co-operate with trakt.tv in the future and a connector/sync tool will be build/released?

Thanks!

Many thanks for the suggestion. We have been following the with interest the popularity of scrobbling for some time now and we are discussing it here for a future version of Mezzmo. In addition, we have been working on a plugin interface for Mezzmo so that third-party developers can hook into Mezzmo to provide content, etc. This plugin interface will allow trakt.tv to create a scrobble plugin for trakt.tv.

Right now, a keen developer could create an app that monitors the current version of Mezzmo's (sqlite-based) databases and checks the PlayCount column to know what movies/tv shows have been watched and upload this information to trakt.tv.

OK in a future release then. Looking forward to it.
