I just rolled back to 2.6.5 and it rebuilt the databases.
Thanks for the bug report, found and fixed the bugger: Fix Kodi profile switch not working correctly and PKC not exiting cleanly by croneter · Pull Request #739 · croneter/PlexKodiConnect · GitHub
It’s an issue with Kodi where a function won’t ever return if PKC should actually exit
You probably de-selected all Plex libraries - thus none of them got synched (PKC now allows to selectively sync libraries). Go to the PKC settings, Sync, then Select Plex libraries to sync - make sure you did select at least one ![]()

- Fix Kodi profile switch not working correctly and PKC not exiting cleanly
I just noticed new content dosen’t get synced to Kodi.
PMS says my server is nearby which is correct, PKC says remote?
Tried to log out and log in again, any suggestions?
Restart Kodi. And please share your log, I might spot the bugger: How to Report A Bug · croneter/PlexKodiConnect Wiki · GitHub
I uploaded the log on GitHub.
I have a question regarding fanart for music. But I‘m not sure whether this is a problem of PKC or not.
I have a huge library of Soundtracks in Plex. Each artist has a poster and a background (showing the artist). And also each album has a poster (front cover) and a background (movie wallpaper). All are synced via PKC to Kodi (Intel NUC with LibreELEC). When I‘m browsing through the list of artists, each artist is visualised and the belonging background is shown when the artist is highlighted. After selecting an artist the associated albums are shown and when I browse through the list of albums, all belonging backgrounds (movie wallpaper) are displayed.
And now comes the strange thing: when I select an album and the track list is shown, for some albums the belonging movie wallpaper is visible (as expected), but for tracks of other albums the artist background or a random background is shown. It seems that these tracks are incident with the artist background and not with the album background.
After further investigations I‘m pretty sure that all albums are affected of all artists with a beginning letter from A to J.
I have another Kodi/PKC player on my windows pc and all albums are affected there.
This behavior occurs with different skins. So my thought was that maybe the way how PKC syncs can be the problem. Or do I miss something?
Are multiple collections on a single movie supported? I find that KodiPlexConnect is only setting the first collection of a movie in Kodi and any others are not getting assigned. Is this a bug or a limitation of Kodi?
No. That is unfortunately a Kodi limitation. See One Movie in multiple collections
Thanks for your work on this add on, @croneter. Would it be possible to implement an option to select subtitles and audio format prior to playback, irrespective of one’s Kodi settings? The PlexforKodi skin allows for this (as did OpenPHT), though I’m not sure if that’s like comparing apples and oranges. In short, would it be possible to borrow the code that PlexforKodi uses for that and add it to PlexKodiConnect?
Unfortunately, that’s apples and oranges if you compare pkc with either Plex for Kodi or OpenPHT. It’s not possible to just “take the code” of either
Thanks for the replay and confirming my suspicions, @croneter.
One further and unrelated observation: if I play a video from a playlist under Plex Hub in PlexKodiConnect, the server doesn’t seem to recognize that an item from the playlist was played. As a result, that playlist doesn’t move to the left under “Recent Playlists” in any other Plex client. Is this something that could be fixed or implemented? Obviously, this is not a major problem, but having that aesthetic consistency in other apps would be nice. Thanks!
Starting to see this happen again under 2.7.4. I haven’t had a chance to dig back through the logs again but just wanted to report it. I don’t have a complicated setup either and PlexKodiConnect and IPTV Simple Client are the only 2 addons I have installed.
Logging off a profile doesn’t cleanly shutdown. I hate how Kodi kills an addon if it doesn’t shutdown in 5s. Was digging through the forums and I don’t think you can change that either.
Yes - there is one Kodi function PKC needs to call repeatedly that completely stalls if you log off or shut down. There is nothing I can do ![]()
PKC should still continue functioning normally though
As usual: How to Report A Bug · croneter/PlexKodiConnect Wiki · GitHub
That way I can keep track of bugs
A quick question: is it possible to configure buffer settings with pkc for direct play? Or is it done server side?
No, that is not possible. You can set thresholds for transcoding though
I opened an issue for this for you: Plex Music: Fanart for tracks is off · Issue #757 · croneter/PlexKodiConnect · GitHub
Oh, thanks. 
So I’m right when I say that in a track list the album background fanart should be shown instead of the artist background fanart? Leastwise this is my expectation.
