This should work:

cd /tmp
wget --quiet https://www.dropbox.com/s/jo9jam8n73htkqc/trakt.zip?dl=1 -O trakt.zip
unzip trakt.zip > /dev/null

cd trakt
sudo cp apsw.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Python/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
sudo cp com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal  "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases"
cd "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases"
sudo chown plex:plex com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal
sudo chmod 644 com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver

Substitute the paths, if needed.

Can you repost the dropbox link? It’s down

Thank you.

Okay so i fixed the path for the nvidia shield and placed the apsw.so file under:

“/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv/Libraries/Android/aarch64/ucs2/apsw.so”

But now the error has changed to:

ImportError: dlopen failed: “/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv/Libraries/Android/aarch64/ucs2/apsw.so” is 32-bit instead of 64-bit

So I think the problem is that the apsw.so was compiled for armV7 but needs to be compiled for aarch64. Problem is I have no idea how to do that so im hoping you know how or can point me in the right direction.

Hello johnmarshall515. I have the same problem to install the trakt plugin on my non-rooted Shield Pro (2019) running PMS with metadata located in unser accessible USD drive. Did you ever manage to make it work ? And if yes, how did you do please ?

Actually I don't even know how I should to run the commands provided by agneevX:

cd /tmp
wget --quiet https://www.dropbox.com/s/jo9jam8n73htkqc/trakt.zip?dl=1 -O trakt.zip
unzip trakt.zip > /dev/null

cd trakt
sudo cp apsw.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Python/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
sudo cp com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal  "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases"
cd "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases"
sudo chown plex:plex com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal
sudo chmod 644 com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-shm com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv.db-wal
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver

Do you access to you Nvidia shield through SSH ? What kind of SSH server did you installed on your shield ? Please let me know. Thank you all
