Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler VS PlexTraktSync

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.

The last tool is PlexTraktSync. This will be able to sync your Plex server with your Trakt account 2-ways instead of only 1 way (and then also only "scrobble" with the Plex Webhook). An example of how I use it: PlexTraktSync has two modes, running "normally" in which the sync is happening once and a "watch" mode which scrobbles the currently watching states to trakt. I run in watch mode all the time but then also run a sync once a day. What this will do is that Trakt will automatically be updated with what I currently watch but when something is missed it will be updated the next sync. And since it is a 2-way sync, I can watch something (and it is updated on trakt that I watched it) and then rate it on trakt and the next day that rating is also set in Plex again.

I spent some time working on this tool called IMDB-Trakt-Syncer which syncs user watchlist, ratings and comments for Movies, TV Shows and Episodes both ways between IMDB and Trakt. Also syncs episode ratings. You can use this script alongside PlexTraktSync and TMDB-Trakt-Syncer to get your ratings syncs across all 4 platforms! It should work on any OS. The project's Github repository and source code can be found here.

That is why I use PlexTraktSync to automatically push my watched status and rating to Trakt and also pull it from there (2-Way Sync) so that it isn't exclusively available in Plex (because of the already mentioned "when metadata gets deleted, everything is gone")

Did you read the documentation? It's two way sync plex-to-trakt and trakt-to-plex. Look at config if isn't disabled https://github.com/Taxel/PlexTraktSync/blob/main/plextraktsync/config.default.yml

My tentative plan is to use two instances of PlexTraktSync to have one directional sync from our shared Plex profile to our individual Trakt profiles (if we watch something together in Plex mark it as watched for each of us in Trakt) and then two more instances for one directional sync from our individual Trakt profiles to our individual Plex profiles.

I made another tool called TMDB-Trakt-Syncer which syncs ratings for Movies and TV Shows both ways between TMDB and Trakt. Also syncs episode ratings. You can use this script alongside PlexTraktSync and IMDb-Trakt-Syncer to get your ratings syncs across all 4 platforms! It should work on any OS.
