Yup, same deal.
Is it possible to have On Deck include both next episodes and shows in progress for both TV shows and Movies, exactly like Plex does it or is this not possible? I’m using the latest Titan Skin on Kodi 17.4

No, not currently. Ideally, a Kodi skin would provide this functionality

Kodi probably uses your systems Python environment. A python module that’s usually around is missing:
ImportError: No module named cProfile
Try to install this module, maybe this works for your environment:
sudo apt-get install cProfile
I try this, but apt-get didn´t working on Enigma2.

Try this:

opkg install cProfile
Hi croneter,
It works!
opkg install phyton-profile
Now the plecxonnect addon works…
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english.
Hi croneter,
First of all, i’m so grateful for your work! Thank you!
But i have a little problem:
my PMS runs on an QNAP NAS and Kodi on an HiMedia Q10 Pro
Direct Play only works with the Full Path to the “mkv” (wrapper and kodi crash if i try other settings).
no problem, i can replace the path to a smb link. But my “Movie” Library has 3 different folders. So i have to edit 3 paths?!
That looks like this:
PMS Server Folder --> SMB Link
/share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/Movies1 --> smb://HOME-NAS/Movies1
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Movies2 --> smb://HOME-NAS/Movies2
/share/CACHEDEV4_DATA/Movies3 --> smb://HOME-NAS/Movies3
Is there a way to do that or is there another possibility to watch movies with the internal player of the mediaplayer?
Greetings
Jonas

I think you can create symlink for your share:
ln -s /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Movies2 /share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/
ln -s /share/CACHEDEV4_DATA/Movies3 /share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/
then refresh your plex library and set Customize paths → Replace Plex paths
/share/CACHEDEV2_DATA → smb://HOME-NAS

This has worked for me in the past when I had more than one TV folder in Plex.
When typing in your direct path, just input the root level for your movies. In your case “smb://HOME-NAS/”
I have found that PKC seems to recognize all of the different folders even though technically you can only put in a single path. Even if you have TV folders at the same level it doesn’t seem to confuse PKC.
This was done quite a while ago so I don’t know if it still holds true but its worth trying.
Thank you for your Help!
The variant of xom2000 works perfect! But with the QNAP Interface and “Folder Rights” its a little bit difficult. but i think its a normal QNAP illness :).
I create a completely new folder with the Interface for the symlinks and change my libraries in Plex to the folder symlinks. Now can i create unlimited additional folders and the qnap interface makes no revolt :).
Thank you!!!
Big one, excited to hear back from you!
Changelog
version 1.8.13 (beta only):
- Background sync now picks up more PMS changes
- Detect Plex item deletion more reliably
- Fix changed Plex metadata not synced repeatedly
- Detect (some, not all) changes to PKC settings and apply them on-the-fly
- Fix resuming interrupted sync
- PKC logging now uses Kodi log levels
- Further code optimizations

You need to be more specific than that… Try downloading the PKC repo from github.com again, sometimes a download gets corrupted
Hey croneter,
im trying to get this to work on my laptop with linux mint 18.2 installed and kodi 18-alpha1 (git20170909). The reason why i try to use alpha software is because kodi krypton does some weird stuff on my laptop. After googling it seems to be a hardware/driver combination issue of bluez. With Kodi 18-alpha1 it seems to work without giving errors at start.
And the second reason is i like to test things out and if possible provide some help with debugging informations unless this is not wanted i hope you can assist me a bit. (I know alpha software is ONLY intended as test and in ongoing changes and not to be ment to be used as regular basis. But some basic testing couldn’t be wrong, could it?)
The following problems appeared with Kodi 18-alpha1 and PKC 1.8.13 beta:

I have disabled SSL because PKC seems to loose connection after synchronisation is completed while trying to get artwork from PMS because either the PMS starts to revoke connection or PKC does. Still PKC seems to use SSL connection if im not wrong. (Or is Curl something different?).
Next question, in your wiki you stated that Artwork Downloader can be used alternatively, i tried this but when Artwork Downloader tries to do his magic it tells this:
02:55:36.125 T:139690316613376 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(plugin) in plugin://plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/tvshows/15718/extrafanart/1136524.jpg
and this:
03:06:00.427 T:139690316613376 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(plugin) in plugin://plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/tvshows/3338/extrafanart
03:06:00.427 T:139690316613376 ERROR: Create - Error creating plugin://plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/tvshows/3338/extrafanart
Am i doing something wrong or is it “just to early” for this to work? 
If you need any more log details, i am willing to help and provide them.
I appreciate and like your work.
@HelperServices
Thanks very much for the coffees 
Yes it’s too early. The error messages you get are from Kodi, not PKC. Seems like the Kodi team changed something related to their SSL implementation. This is probably related to the fact that PKC uses a direct connection to your local PMS without a detour over plex.direct. However, Plex SSL certificates are only issued and valid for plex.tv. If your internet is down, Plex won’t work. I’m thinking of changing this in the future, but that will require major effort…
Is artwork Downloader not working at all? Or are you just getting log messages?
Edit:
Try this as a workaround for the SSL issues: login to https://app.plex.tv/desktop and connect to your PMS. Then navigate to any movie, hit the three dots … in the upper right corner, then Show Information, then Show XML. In the new browser window, copy the url like
https://192-168-0-2.6eb604e9b8c94479bfc096<CUT>.plex.direct
In the PKC connection settings, manually connect to that URL
