PLEX Sync can clearly see and communicate with my servers as it brings the server names and brings all “USERS” Names, so the PLEX Sync is finding the servers, but refuses to Sync.
I manually ran a sync and it didn’t find any data since July 13 (the last sync you should see in the setting page). I didn’t see any timeout errors when I did this. Are you certain there is new data since July 13 that should be getting synced?
The issue is also that since I disconnected to try to redo the setup, I cannot manage to finalize it (does not ask for the user) and show me the error message.
As you can see, scribbler works fine and detect that things have been watched: Plex has sent 286 events to your Trakt account. The most recent event was 16 Jul 2025 21:30 .
@yendi Please try the settings page now and it should respond a lot quicker when selecting your server. I was able to optimize the connection handling, so hopefully this allows you to configure your user and other settings properly. After doing that, please try running a manual sync.
The main issue seemed to be there were no libraries selected to sync, so even when the sync did work it wouldn’t pull any data. With the improved settings and being able to save the settings properly, that will hopefully fix that issue too.
Good call! I was actually able to make some progress using the Python PlexAPI package. It appears there is another Plex web service that allows me to get the watchlist info. It appears watchlist sync might be possible after all
I have the same problem. Everything is setup and selected, but nothing ever sync’s. If I shutdown my Plex Server for period, I get an email to reconnect so it works at some level, just never sync’s.
Awesome! Yes, the best approach for me currently is to use PlexTraktSync like @WilhelmStroker does - to push from my Trakt watchlist to my Plex watchlist, since I’m always browsing Trakt. I would just prefer to use Trakt exclusively and move away from scripts like PlexTraktSync. Thanks again!
Also Justin, this is exactly how I use PlexTraktSync as well. You should be able to deconstruct how that API works to do these things. Looking forward to the implementation!
PlexTraktSync is a really awesome project. My goal is to replicate most if not all of that functionality natively with the Plex Sync feature. As long as there are public APIs (on Plex or directly on your media center) then it should be possible.
I don’t believe/think it’s requesting an entire scan of your server every hour, rather it’s reading data from a text file after a Metadata refresh, hence why we are asked to do a Meta refresh after enabling, though I could be wrong.
