sickchill VS PlexKodiConnect

Sickchill updates date back only 4 days. https://github.com/SickChill/sickchill

Huh. Is that so? I guess Wikipedia is wrong. That's okay, I was told never to trust it when I was in school. Somebody may want to tell all of these different developers that their nifty software is redundant since serving is the same as managing.

I can see i'm on Version: v2022.07.20 and i get a pop-up at the top 'There is a newer version available — Update Now'. Clicking Update Now shuts down Sickchill, does something and then brings it back up with the same version. The link for 'newer version available' takes you to https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/compare/v2022.07.20...v2022.09.14 but it doesn't appear to install it. Once it restarts you see the same 'Update now' message appear.

Yes it's still active here: https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/issues/7504

I used to do that, now I use Plex (running in a docker container on a machine under my stairs) and the Plex Kodi Connect (PKC) to sync my Kodi database to my Plex database. Best of both worlds

That being said, there are other client apps for Android: you can try Kodi, and use this plugin: https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect to use it as a Plex client. It is definitely much faster than the Plex app, and the setup while intimidating, is actually simple.

PKC developer here. Stability is number 1 priority, I had the impression that's been working pretty great. I would love to get my hands on your log files to fix whatever issue you had: https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/How-to-Report-A-Bug

Open Kodi and go to settings>add-ons and switch on "allow unknown sources" and add new repo: https://croneter.github.io/pkc-source
