Kodi to Plex, a couple of questions

Hi,

I have been using Kodi for a long time but are a bit tired of there problems and there comunity, so Now Im looking in to Plex.

I have installed Plex Server and the Windows client on my main computer(Windows 10). I have connected it with Trakt and opensubtitles so far.

Now I need to know more about fetures that I do not really find any answer to :

  1. In Kodi Im using the subtitle addon that makes it possible to search for the correct subtitle right there in the player. If its wrong Im able to sync it to some degree. In Plex this seems to be handled automatically but even when I have setup the opensubtitle account I do not get any subtitles loaded? I can also not find any way to manually choose subtitle from the Windows or web player? Can I even choose to download sub from any other subtitle provider? In my case I have set it to always download subtitles for Swedish first and then English.

  2. Its not that uncommon that sound is a bit out of sync, I can´t however find any control in any of the players where I can compensate? I have found a video on youtube where they gets a menu for this by hitting M but that does not work, it seems like its for a old version of a player that you do not support anymore?

  3. Trakt plugin is installed and I have syncted the plex library with the Trakt information by providing a temporary pin. will it keep up to date? Will it report to Trakt? Will I be able to set grades right in the player like with kodi after a movie/episode?

  1. I have seen a few people complain about subtitle support in plex, I don’t use it myself but have seen some complaints so if you are planning to make the move from kodi and subtitles are a big thing that might be an issue, I am sure you can find those posts on their forum.

  2. Kodi had a real nice audio adjust so you can compensate + or - that feature is non existent in plex, I have seen audio sync issues which are mainly related to transcoding so I try and transcode as little as possible and just direct play. downloaded scene releases have had sync issues but I havent seen any out of sync scene releases in a while.

  3. Sorry I also dont use the trakt plugin so you will have to keep searching for that info.
