I re-wrote the syncing logic for Plex Sync and released the updates a few hours ago. A full sync will still take a while (depending on your Plex library size of course), but the hourly syncs should be way faster now.
With my test Plex server, the initial sync (watched history, library, ratings, and watchlist) took about 30 minutes. The incremental hourly sync took 6 seconds. These numbers can of course vary depending on your Plex library size and network connection, but please let me know if you’re seeing regular syncs now if you weren’t before.
Note: I’ll be off a few days and will return on Wednesday so I likely won’t respond until then and any bug fixes will need to be after I return as well.
Here is a mini changelog of what I released today.
- Rewrote the syncing logic, which greatly reduces the hourly sync times.
- Fixed (hopefully) watchlist sync
- After initially connecting Plex, you’ll need to opt in and select any libraries you want to sync. Previously it would have all auto enabled.
