I can see how this is beneficial for those who don’t want to or can’t run PlexTraktSync (or something similar) when first syncing with Plex to import Collections and view dates, but with it only syncing once per hour instead of the instantaneous result from a Webhook this doesn’t seem to be progress tbh for watch status.
Additionally, because it doesn’t allow for the configuration of external ports it definitely won’t be for everyone. BTW it is interesting to note your own screenshot in the OP shows you’re on a manually specified port…
And finally, because it only allows for the linking to one server at a time instead of selecting all or some servers viewable in the dropdown box, it again is a step backwards for me as I’ll need to manually disconnect / reconnect my Trakt account to Plex to switch servers as I discovered just changing the dropdown box doesn’t have the desired effect.
What is currently a seamless integration now will require manual involvement.
