Automatic recognition
Recognizes movies and shows from visible page data and matches them via The Movie Database (TMDB). Precise, without guessing.
Just watch. watchplay handles the rest.
The watchplay Scrobbler browser extension automatically recognizes what you stream on Netflix, Disney+, and Max, then adds it to your watchplay library. No manual logging required.
How it works
Three steps. No manual upkeep.
01
Sign in once
Sign in with your existing watchplay account. No second account, no extra setup.
02
Just watch
Start a movie or episode on a supported streaming service. The Scrobbler recognizes the title automatically.
03
Tracked automatically
Your progress lands in your watchplay library automatically. Movies as watched, series episode by episode, seasons completed when everything is done.
Features
Track automatically, sync cleanly.
Shows episode by episode
Each episode is tracked individually. Once every episode of a season is watched, the season is marked as completed automatically.
Live status display
The Chrome sidebar shows the detected provider, title, matching status, and last sync time in real time.
Works in the background
Smart caching keeps tracking active even when the player hides its UI. An offline queue catches up missed syncs automatically.
Your settings, everywhere
Set what should be tracked per provider: movies, shows, and minimum watch time. Your settings sync with your watchplay account.
Multilingual
Automatically German or English based on your browser language, or switched manually.

Privacy first.
watchplay Scrobbler only reads visible page content: the page title, visible player information, and standard playback events. Incognito windows are disabled by default. Your playback status is sent only to the official watchplay API.

Quality
Better to skip than track the wrong thing.
Every title is matched server-side against TMDB. The extension never creates empty or guessed library entries. If a title cannot be matched safely, nothing is saved. Instead, it is routed for manual review so your library stays clean.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a watchplay account?
Yes. The Scrobbler extends your existing watchplay account. If you do not have one yet, you can sign up directly from the extension.
Which browsers are supported?
Google Chrome version 114 or newer. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge or Brave usually work as well.
Does the extension cost anything?
No, it is free.
Does it work when the tab is in the background?
Yes. Tracking continues as long as playback is active.
Are my streaming credentials read?
No. The extension does not read cookies, logins, or private APIs from streaming services.
What happens if a title is not recognized?
Nothing is saved automatically. The title is sent for review so a wrong entry does not end up in your library.
Is Prime Video included?
Prime Video is in progress and will arrive in a future update.
