Plex Sync BETA

FYI, I am out of the office next week so I won’t be working on plex sync or responding during that time.

Why is this called Plex SYNC if it doesn’t remove collected media after I delete it from Plex?

I’m working in phases. The first phase is syncing from Plex to Trakt. The next phase will include things like removing from library and syncing data back to Plex. I do have to be careful with deleting library items though. If I get no or bad data from Plex, I would want to just blank out your Trakt library for example. This would for sure be an opt in setting.

Is there anything that we can do about duplicate plays from using Plex Sync?

I think the check for this needs to be more broad on the Trakt side. Currently it looks for an exact timestamp match to determine a duplicate.

Things so far have been working better, but does plex sync not handle going back and retrying skipped items any or something? I ended up having a scan that got complete while my plex library was still working on scanning stuff in and one of the seasons of a show was messed up so it got skipped in the scan (the episodes ended up under the skipped items section) due to that, during the next scan which happened about an hour later I had already fixed the season and all that in my plex library but it didn’t scan in the fixed stuff at all that was skipped before, only anything new I had added (which was a new single show) was scanned in. I ended up having to go and set up PlexTraktSync again to scan the fixed episodes into my library.

I will have to think about this more. Right now it just stores a single timestamp, set at the end of any successful sync. I might need to store individual timestamps (history, library, ratings, watchlist) and perhaps use the start as that saved timestamp. That might allow it to pick up items scanning during the Plex sync.
