PlexTraktSync VS WebTools.bundle

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.

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.

PlexTraktSync

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.

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.
