Previously deleted shows reappearing en masse

Trakt Questions & Help
1

This has happened to my Trakt in the past but I don’t remember the solution. 20 or more of past shows that I have completed and removed have reappeared all at once. I have individually done the “remove from” thing but they all come back. I searched here for a solution but only found …“another app must be syncing and adding them back”. Is there no way for one app to be the master instead of deleting one app at a time?

well… it doesn’t happen by magic, so there really will be an external app synching stuff back. So you already know the answer.

If you have a lot, you could eliminate them all and adding them back one by one each day to see who is the culprit. (but, you could maybe also just check the settings for your app? If you want it to only pull and not push data to Trakt, that must be a setting right? I know that was always the case with Plex… If the app doesn’t offer settings for what data to just pull or push and pull imo it’s a bad app.)

Or you could maybe ask support if they can see what the origin is.

Aha! Thank you. I think you hit the nail on the head. I recently installed Plex. So maybe you could explain what settings I need for Plex. I only need Plex to access my friend’s Plex server. As far as my local APK and player, I’m doing fine with my current player. As I’m unfamiliar with Plex right now would you be able to tell me how to get plex to stop syncing with Trakt?

Thanks again.

Hi!
It’s honestly been almost a decade since I used plex or any type of external add-on that syncs or pulls/pushes data.

I used it back in the day if the trakt plugin (Configuration · trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler Wiki · GitHub) but now you gotta use the Plex/Trakt Webhook I think.

I know you can set it up to scrobble a specific user in your account only but I’ve got no idea of the specifics. Just saw it mentioned once or twice in the forums. But I don’t think the webhook synces past data. It only scrobbles watches and ratings. Not the watched data. (I.e if something scrobbles from plex to trakt and you manually set it to unwatched on Trakt it won’t be added as watched again. Not by plex)
