Do you want to track your Kodi contents and later access them? Here we will see How to Install and Setup Trakt for Kodi. This add-on will help in storing and keeping track of the movies, shows that you have watched on your Kodi system.

Starting from the core, Kodi is an open-source platform, which lets you watch online streaming content like movies, TV shows, music on higher display screens. It also allows playing video or audio files stored in a local storage too.

Addons are something that is necessary for the proper functioning of the Kodi system. Here the Trakt for Kodi is more of a plugin kind of thing, which runs in the background and helps in running some front end software.
