   5. Set Redirect URI: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

   6. Enable permissions: /checkin and /scrobble

   7. Click Save App

2. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into CrossWatch.

Troubleshooting

• If the auth tab doesn’t open, disable popup blockers for CrossWatch.

• If the PIN fails, generate a new link code and try again.

• If Trakt connects but sync fails, re-check that your app permissions include /scrobble.

• If you see 429 Too Many Requests, tune provider throttling. Guide: Provider rate limiting.
