Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler VS Kitana

PS : I know that there is alternatives PlexTraktSync data I did not got running because Docks would not work properly (Windows environment), Plex Scrobbler that demands VIP and PASS, this might be a solution but im not paying just to try it out, Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler that is a old plugin since 2018, there is no longer any support for plugins, it might be able to install it anyway but it may not work properly.

I am thinking about switching from Kodi to Plex(local) and are about to setup a test environment with Plex. To merge watched flag I need Plex to integrate with Trakt but so far I have only found Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler that seems to require both Plex pass and Trakt VIP(). Is there another about as good way to solve this?

Judging by the Project Page the last commit was made in 2020 with 189 Issues being open as well as an issue that seems to be what you describe here

I use this plugin to make it work without Plex pass... I didn't even know that Plex pass gives you sync to trakt lol.

Is anyone else having issues with trakt scrobbling following the credit detection update? I've been using this version on my Synology server and it seems to sporadically work. Some episodes will be scrobbled but others wont. However if I check trakt while watching, playback progress is always syncing correctly. So for whatever reason the scrobbler will be working but when I'm done with an episode there's a 25% chance an episode will actually be tracked. My theory is the credit detection pushes me to jump to the next episode before getting to the point in which the program considers a show as watched/syncs it to trakt.

I'm running into issues with finding new recommendations that aren't already in my library, so I figure uploading my "collection" to Trakt is a good move. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble there. I downloaded Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler (https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler/ is the link) and while it will let me know if I'm currently streaming something, it doesn't seem to want to copy my collection details over. I have tried messing with some configuration options and re-authenticating but still no luck.

Actually it looks like rg9400 fixes were already merged to the official master branch in 2020, and Cornishman 2021 fixes were dedicated to later issues with those new agents (described here in details: https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler/issues/596)

I'm using the Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler plugin. Everything is pretty much working flawlessly except for syncing my collection which was already in plex when I added the plugin, new added shows/movies are however synced.

Look into Kitana.

The Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler does this. You'll need the Kitana Plex plugin web frontend to access Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler's UI.

the old plex trakt plugin still works for me, need to use https://github.com/pannal/Kitana to access the the old interface however.

There is also an addon for plex that gives you more control, plex trakt scrobbler. Sadly plex has mostly done away with addons (I think that is why the addon is mostly unmaintained) so I use kitana to manage addons. trakt-for-plex may also be useful.

You need Kitana to access your Plex plugins.

2) Pair it with Kitana to access the web gui.

With kitana 'https://github.com/pannal/Kitana' you can run manual push/pull syncs. Along with more control over other plex plugins.

It still works! You just can't get to plugin GUIs anymore through the Plex app. You can run Kitana (https://github.com/pannal/Kitana) for this though

Did you set the sync to run at a lower interval? Or maybe to not wait until the server is idle? You can also try a manual sync and check the messages see if it returns any errors. The only way to do that is through Kitana after Plex got rid of the plugin interfaces. I run my own public instance at https://kitana.bas.sh if you want to use it.
