Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler VS WebTools.bundle

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 old WebTools isn't something you open in Plex itself, you have to go to http://[your-pms-server-ip-address]:33400. That said, what exactly are you trying to use it for? Chances are there are other ways to do it that don't involve using an unmaintained plugin.

As far as Plex goes, the app is apparently going to be removing plugins completely in the near future, so trying to develop a plugin for it definitely seems to be a lost cause now.

I'm not sure if WebTools-NG makes it easier to install plugins. The no-longer-maintained WebTools.bundle did via the Unsupported App Store, but even then it's not a requirement for installing plugins, as it can be done manually as well. Not to mention that pretty much the only plugins that still work with full functionality are metadata agents/scanners.

Yeah, the old plugin-based version is still around and offered similar functionality, but with plugins being deprecated, WebTools moved to a standalone service.

Sorry, but since plugin's are been depreciated ( Ref: https://www.plex.tv/blog/subtitles-and-sunsets-big-improvements-little-housekeeping/ ) the UAS is sadly dead, which I also announced on the webtools.bundle github repo a long time ago

If that's not the case and they're just disappearing completely, then you might have to resort to tools outside of Plex to find what's not getting scanned in. There used to be a Find Media tool that was part of WebTools, but it apparently doesn't work anymore (probably because Plugins were deprecated almost 4 years ago now, so most are broken). If you're comfortable running a random Python script from someone on the internet, I created this script several weeks ago that can scan your local folders and compare it against what Plex shows in your library. It's not pretty and was written quickly, but should get the job done.

Here are some plugins on the forum: https://forums.plex.tv/c/third-party/plugins/19. Unsupported AppStore comes with WebTools and as far as I know can still be installed (https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/wiki/Install).

There's also the FindMedia module of WebTools, though there have been some reports of it not working anymore.
