PlexKodiConnect: Kodi Plex Integration Done Right

Hi all,

Sorry for this noob question but I have recently signed up for a Plex Pass and I cannot get Trailers to appear in PKC.

Is the something that needs enabling or downloaded to make trailers available? I’m assuming trailers should appear under Information.

TIA

Greg

EDIT: I have trailers in the Kodi Plex App, just not in PKC.

EDIT2: Fixed!! Had to reset the Kodi Database.

found the solution “Emby”, good bye plex, hello Emby and possibly Emby premium

Man just want to say how much i love PKC <3

Just a lil thing, im listening music on Kodi trought PKC, i like to have my Plex playlists into Kodi, but when listening to music from plex/PKC playlists, i dont get the fanarts slideshow working (that works when listening trought artist libraries for instance). Not sure if its related to PKC or Kodi/Artis slideshow addon.

And after all these years without the ability to watch HDR content on Kodi-Windows, they finally made it with Kodi 19.

Can’t wait for PKC Python 3 support !!! :yum:

I got Kodi installed on my AppleTV 4k via Xcode. I cant seem to install PKC on it due to no USB C. I tried the google drive method and a url link to a zip file but no luck. Any advice how to get this installed?

Are you already working on PKC version for Kodi 19? Kodi 19 finally supports HDR but need PKC…

Not me but someone else: Futurize: render PKC compatible with Python 2 AND 3 by davidheitman · Pull Request #1101 · croneter/PlexKodiConnect · GitHub

That was 8 months ago… is there any progress? Or is there a working version for Kodi 19?

You’re not planning to release a compatible one anytime soon?

Are you still working on PKC? Last update was July 11th, am I right?

About time for an update… You do not need to upload a ZIP file to Kodi now for PlexKodiConnect installation! :laughing:

Changelog

version 2.12.3:

  • Fix playback failing due to caching of subtitles with non-ascii chars
  • Fix ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10 during show sync
  • Fix UnboundLocalError when certain Plex sections are deleted or being un-synched
  • New method to install PlexKodiConnect directly via an URL. You thus do not need to upload a ZIP file to Kodi anymore.

@croneter - What are the steps to change from the ZIP file update method to the URL method on an existing installation?

TIA

If you already installed pkc successfully from the repo, there’s no need to do anything! You will receive auto updates.

(you simply don’t have the PKC source enabled as explained in the wiki, installation step 1, with no down-side though as you only really need the PKC repo)

@croneter - Thank you.

Are u working on Tidal integration by any chance ?

Do you own a personal Tidal sub linked to Plex ?

I made a dream yesterday of browsing tidal trought kodi, it was amazing :smiley:

No, it still seems very niche, e.g. Only 2 people requested this feature. See Feathub.comfeathub.com | Tempat rekomendasi situs judi online terbaik dengan bonus yang beragam dan terpercaya

I don’t have an account either, which is not helping :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

How did you browse Tidal in Kodi, anyway? Using the official Plex for Kodi?

Browsing Tidal in Kodi was in my dream ^^

Ppl linking Tidal via Plex is very niche, prolly right ppl using Plex usually are ppl who want to make use of their own libraries.

But i have to admit having acces to a streamin plateform on top of it trought Plex / Plexamp is pretty dam good.

Having the ability to browse Tidal via Kodi would be … amazing, no reason anymore to even launch plex :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m trying to setup 4 separate home menu entries with widgets for 4 libraries – Movies, TV shows, Documentary films and Documentary series – which (I think) I’m doing the recommended way, by setting up
Video Library - Video Add-On - PlexKodiConnect - Movies (with Plex icon) as a shortcut and
Video Library - Video Add-On - PlexKodiConnect - Movies (with Plex icon) - On Deck as a widget.
Now when I click the menu entry it just opens some file explorer instead of showing me the widget.
What am I doing wrong?

I’m using Kodi 18.7 on the OSMC Vero 4k+ with the Titan Bingie skin and the latest PKC build.
These were the guides I used:


Thanks in advance

You just need to go a level deeper per library, e.g. To Video Library - Video Add-On - PlexKodiConnect - Movies (with Plex icon) - Movies or -On Deck

Is it possible to get “Recently Added Episodes” like the Plex Hub, multiple episodes bundled as season and multiple seasons bundled as TV Show… but then with the Kodi library? I mean Kodi library loads so much faster then the Plex Hub but I like the bundled episodes…

@Hollander_1908 Unfortunately no, a shortcoming by Kodi :frowning_face:

@croneter I can do it with the addon Skin Helper Service but then it will show multiple seasons instead of bundle it to tv show. And it will show episode 10 as title for example, not Season 1 or something. So Plex Hub is still te best but loads very slow unfortunately… Thanks anyway!

Have you manage to replicate the Plex On Deck exactly?! How fast does it load?
