I don’t have the logs yet, but I did turn off background sync which let the sync finish. No hard rebooting needed.
Still need your debug logs though
How would one be able to get autoplay to function with PKC?
The “Up Next” addon doesn’t work.
Works just fine here. Are you sure that you have the next episode ready?
Sorry, I had to add TV Shows, Episodes and Uncategorized in the Kodi “play next” settings and now even the “Up Next” addon seems to work. I am not sure why just TV Shows was not enough to do the trick. Well, live and learn.
Does someone here use plex with gdrive and Plexkodiconnect? A User of mine wants to use PKC and I dont know how many api hits it will generate. I am using rclone vfs cache for my mounts.
In the past, this did NOT work because PKC hits the PMS many times, at least twice per library element. The API rate limit then kicked in.
If only the media is on gdrive, it should work though. The question is how many times your the PMS API can be hit by PlexKodiConnect
I didnt even thought of the PMS api. I think I generally dont want additional api hits on my server so I shouldnt allow this.
It’s not too bad, I wouldn’t go so far and block pkc 
. I have a really low budget PMS at home and several friends accessing it with PKC without an issue.
The “issue” is really only at the very beginning when a new PKC client does its first sync. After that it’s really tiny delta syncs only - no more API hits than with a normal Plex client.
I see. How big is your library? I have quite the collection
Thanks for your Input!
450 movies, 650 episodes. Small…
That aint small. Only because I rely on cloud storage I have a bigger library. 8k movies 1.5k tv 1k anime
I’m trying to find a solution to the problem with widgets that are slow updating (e.g. ‘On Deck’). The affected widgets can take up to 20 seconds to update. This is pushing me towards using an alternative like the stock Plex client, as it’s just so much faster.
This is on a SHIELD TV, so is not due to slow hardware. I’ve read the developer said this issue is due to PKC having to query Plex to update and getting delays there.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I’ve tried an alternative widget that is also suggested, and that had the same issue. I’ve read people talking about using Trakt to update the watched/progress status, or creating a custom playlists to emulate the ‘On Deck’ widget. Do these solutions work, and if so, please can you describe how to implement them? Or any other solutions?
Dev here . “On Deck (PlexKodiConnect)” for movies should be fine, unfortunately there is NO way that I’m aware of to replicate the tv show On Deck behavior with widgets or playlists - except the really slow one that is currently implemented.
In a nutshell: widgets should all be fine EXCEPT the one for tv show On Deck.
If you find a way let me know please
Thanks for getting back to me. I should have been more specific - I was specifically referring to the TV show ‘on deck’. Unfortunately I have no idea, was hoping someone else might!
I have 4 playlists:
- recently added movies
- in progress movies
- recently added tv shows
- in progress tv shows
They load very fast and I seem to be missing what on deck has to offer vs my playlists?
Can you tell me what’s not working with playlists?
The tv show On Deck displays either episodes still in progress (so you’re in the middle of watching) or the episode that’s next up (so you just watched the last one) in a single “list”. It will give you at most one episode per show

Just updated to 2.11.5 and still have the startup sync crash issue.
I’ve posted to your GitHub. Thanks.
I’m starting to be stumped. I had retired my OSMC Vero4k+pkc box for a while and recently started using it again. Updated all add-ons and TV shows worked just fine, but no movies played at all.
I reainstalled everything from scratch, pkc in addon-mode, direct play selected as playback method. Now movies work but tv-shows don’t. Tried everything I could think of right now, including changing Plex libraries to point to server name instead of IP-address.
My setup:
Intel Nuc (Win10) Running PMS.
Vero4k, running OSMC version of Kodi, PKC installed.
Router: two hdd’s attached with my media on them. Movies are on both hdd’s, set up in Plex as 4k library and non-4k library.
They are shared as:
smb://192.xxx.x.x/sda2/Leffat 4k
smb://192.xxx.x.x/sdb2/Leffat
smb://192.xxx.x.x/sdb2/Sarjat
or smb://Servername/sda2/Leffat 4k etc. work as well. But I’ve tried to use IP’s since the router has a static IP for the purposes.
Here’s a log of movies playing but shows not: edited out
Edit: I was a fool. I had mistyped “sdb2” as “sda2” in the TV shows address in Plex library settings. Once I changed that, everything works. Should have triple checked.
