[BUG] Issue when starting trakts about trakt-scrobbler HOT 5 OPEN

Have you enabled the web interface from the mpcbe Options?

from trakt-scrobbler.

Yes.

Then the next step would be checking the Registry to figure out where the setting is being stored-

1. Open the Registry Editor from start (or regedit exec)
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MPC-BE from the tree-view panel on the left
3. Try to find a WebServerPort key somewhere in there.

I found the issue. I installed MPC-BE via scoop, it stores settings in Player folder instead of Registry by default. Changing settings location to Registry fixes the issue. Is it worth mentioning this in the installation guide?

Interesting, this seems to be a recent addition to MPC-BE. From what I recall, MPC (and MPCHC) only use the registry.
Rather than changing the mode to registry, you could also use trakts config set players.mpc-be.port 13579 to manually specify the port number.

On our end, we should support auto-detecting the values from any of these. Will leave this as a TODO.
