Plex not syncing TV Shows watched status from Trakt but working for Movies

Opened this issue · 16 comments

I've recently had to add TMBD as an agent for TV Shows due to an ongoing issue with TVDB in order to update poster art. TVDB is still set as the agent on the TV Shows library itself. I've also completely reinstalled the plugin and restarted Plex to no avail. Any ideas?

I am also having this issue, I'm setting up a new plex install. My movies sync their watch status just fine, but the TV shows do not. However, TV shows will scrobble if i'm watching a show.

I have the same issue here.
Previously I was able to click trakt plugin to also get controls for manually starting sync, but this seem to have gone away in new version of plex.

Same here.
New setup, movies synced shows not.
This entire plugin is a feature Plex should have natively, but alas, they are a special sort of holes.

same here…

Trakt has most probably abandoned this plugin to force hook based solution.

For the people who are just missing first sync, this works:
https://github.com/Inrego/TraktToPlex
You can use this to do the initial sync from Trakt to Plex, and then continue with the official plugin since everything except for the initial sync of shows mostly works.

got the issue as well on a fresh new server.

Do you have any instructions on how to use it?

I saw you wrote to me about this at Plex Forum. Unfortunately, I couldn't deal with the other tool provided (https://github.com/Taxel/PlexTraktSync). Maybe it will work.

The question is whether it can be run on Qnapa / Windows? If so how?

I set up a thread here with this problem.

I can pay Trakt to export the movies I watch to Plex, but as far as I can see it has only one-way transfer, i.e. Plex to Tract

What config you guys are using? Works fine for me.

I'm seeing the same behavior. Scrobbling of shows TO Trakt works, but watched status FROM Trakt is not being synced with local library. Has this plugin been abandoned? :(

Note: Plex Pass webhooks only allow us to get new data from Plex, we can't send any data
to Plex or sync your past history. If Plex ever allows 2 way sync, we'll be sure to support it.

FWIW I had the same issue after having reinstalled plex. I solved the issue by installing Kitana and running the trakt plugin manually. Whatever happened after doing that the plugin seems to run normally on its own again. I have no clue why however.

If I get SQL errors, I run this script that usually fixes it.

#!/bin/bash
sudo rm -r "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Caches/"*
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver

That actually worked for me. There used to be a way earlier to do that from Plex itself but this works too.

I can confirm that this worked for me too (September 2020). Very easy to install and immediately made the plugin work correctly on TV Shows and Movies. Just tell the plugin to manually pull (or push if you want) and it works.
