PlexKodiConnect: Kodi Plex Integration Done Right

“Just” pick the PKC widgets when you customize your skin. Be careful to navigate via Video Add-ons → PlexKodiConnect → Whatever when you’re setting up a movie or show widget (Kodi limitation). You can test them by simply opening the PlexKodiConnect, e.g. via Add-ons → Video Add-ons → PlexKodiConnect

The More... video node for libraries basically mirrors the different Plex views of a library. These nodes are a bit slower to load since the PMS needs to be contacted (most other nodes are directly “assembled” by Kodi and thus a bit faster).

Hi All,

Since version 2.7.5 I’ve been having 2 issues with my Music library and I’m stumped. What happens is after PKC does it’s initial scan, I go into my library in artist view it looks fine, but after I have restarted Kodi and does it’s scheduled scan when I go into artist view and drill into the albums I see duplicate entries for each album. If I go into the duplicate it’s empty.

Near as I can tell when Kodi does it’s scheduled scan I think it’s picking up the “Artists” tag instead of the “Artist” tag causing the second, empty entry. The reason I think this is happening is one of my albums, a classical guitar album the Artist is Andres Segovia but the Artists have several other artists listed. When the Kodi scan finishes scanning this album all the Artists under the Artists tag now show up under the Artist view of the Music library.

I’ve tried clean installing PKC and disabling all other plugins. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken

Probably a bug. Please open a new issue on github and share a debug log file of the restart, when things start going wrong. See How to Report A Bug · croneter/PlexKodiConnect Wiki · GitHub

I can’t seem to get this to work via the Aura skin. I always see this 0x1 format no matter what.

@croneter any idea why that changed? Much preferred the S01E01 format and I don’t think the Aura skin seems to allow for it (anymore)?

Hi Croneter,

I’ve submitted Duplicate Album Enteries in Music Library #798 for this.

Thx
Ken

Hi Croneter,

Wanted to let you know my music library is back to normal, no more duplicates. Many thanks.

Thanks for your continued support on this. It’s so nice to use every day.

Can you just confirm if I need to ask my skin creator (Aura) to add the option for S01E01 format for recently added?

Glad you like PKC and use it daily :blush:

Confirmed - you need to talk to your skin developer

Croneter,
PKC 2.7.10 makes my FireTV 2 hang upon exit. My newest Firestick 4k doesn’t have this issue. I opened a bug report and uploaded log.

Hi really looking for help as I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
I run an online PMS and was working fine till Jan. Then all of a sudden every few min it errors that PMS is offline and then error in Lib Sync.
I have disabled constant Lib Sync in settings but it still does it.
Anyone come across this it has only started since the 2.6.0 update of PKC log files of whats happening here http://clearstreamreborn.com/log/PKC-Log.txt ( I have blanked out the token with XXX)
Thanks

Well, for now it simply looks like your PMS is not reachable from Kodi anymore.

Please share a DEBUG log - all of it, not just excerpts. See How to Report A Bug · croneter/PlexKodiConnect Wiki · GitHub

Debug log here

everything plays before the first error after that kodi has to be restarted for it to play anything else.

Try starting Kodi without all the ■■■■■■ streaming addons and see if it helps

No difference

Kodi caches all artwork from the PMS automatically. This leads to a lot of “hits” for the PMS upon pkc installation.
Looks like your PMS has some kind of firewall that has a limit for the number of calls you can do before being blocked for a while

Workaround: deactivate using Plex artwork in the PKC settings, then Reset the Kodi database. Then use e…g. Artwork Beef to get artwork directly

Hi @starmanrf2908, I have the same issue using Kodi 18.1 and Nvidia Shield, but clearlogos stopped working since updating from version 2.7.4.

Any plans to get Season premieres showing in On Deck? @croneter
