Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Link Cloudstream → Simkl → Twitter.
  2. Watch an episode in Cloudstream.
  3. Episode appears on Simkl, but no tweet is posted.
  4. If you unmark/remark the same episode directly on Simkl, the tweet is posted.
Expected behavior

When watching an episode in Cloudstream, it should sync to Simkl and also trigger the automatic Twitter (X) post (if enabled in Simkl).

Actual behavior

Episodes sync correctly to Simkl, but no Twitter post is triggered. If the same episode is unmarked/remarked directly on Simkl, the Twitter post works.

Other details

When I watch something in Cloudstream, it syncs correctly to my Simkl account, but Simkl doesn’t send the automatic tweet. Simkl support explained that this happens because Cloudstream sends watched episodes in a batch (for example, episodes 1–4 together with one progress number), instead of sending each episode as an individual “watched” request to their API.
Since Simkl only triggers a tweet when a single episode per request is sent, the batch update from Cloudstream doesn’t trigger the tweet.
Could you please adjust Cloudstream’s Simkl integration so that it sends one episode per API request (rather than a batch progress update)? That way, Simkl will be able to trigger the automatic Twitter post for each watched episode.

Research direction

Locate Cloudstream’s Simkl watched-episode sync integration and the API call that currently sends batched progress updates. Compare that path with the individual watched request behavior described in the issue; done means watched episodes sync individually and Simkl’s automatic Twitter posts are triggered for each episode.
