Trakt v3 Library Sync Issues: Items landing in 'Custom', Batch Sync fails, and Manual Add missing?

Trakt Questions & Help

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some help or clarity regarding a few issues I’ve been experiencing with the Plex Trakt Sync since the Trakt v3 rollout. I use Trakt to keep track of my watched history, but I also heavily rely on the Library feature to maintain a precise inventory of my actual media collection.

Since v3 introduced the split between the “Plex” and “Custom” libraries, I’ve run into the following problems:

  1. Incorrect Library Routing: Since April, items that Plex automatically syncs have been landing in my “Custom” list rather than the designated “Plex” library. It doesn’t seem to route the automated syncs correctly anymore.

  2. Batch Sync Failures: The sync behaves very inconsistently when handling bulk uploads. If I add multiple items to my Plex server at the same time (like an entire TV season), the sync struggles and fails to register everything on Trakt.

  3. Missing Manual Fallback: As a VIP user, I previously just fell back to the v2 interface to manually add the items that the sync missed to my collection. Now that I am fully on v3, I can’t seem to figure out how to manually add items to my library.

Has anyone else encountered the “Custom” list routing issue or the batch sync dropping items? Also, if anyone could point me to the manual “add to collection” button in the new v3 interface, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Best, Rumpinator

At this point in time, it doesn’t exist. I broke down and wrote a barebones script to add/remove items from my library using the Trakt API for when the automated processes I use miss something.
