I’ve just started using Plex - how would I enable two-way sync on TV shows?

Welcome to Plex.  
I’ve moved your post into a separate thread as it wasn’t really related to the discussion about the new movie agent.

As for your question… would you mind elaborating a bit what you mean by „2-way sync“

Ah, ok - thanks. I have a large TV & Film library and am moving to Plex from Kodi. I have all my watched history synced in Trakt.

- Can I pull all my watched history from Trakt to Plex?
- Can I scrobble new plays from my Plex account on any device to Trakt?
- Can I continue to sync new plays from Trakt (ie. from Kodi or manual entry) back to Plex?

There’s a plug-in for Trakt. I have no personal experience with that… so I cannot confirm if it covers all those requirements.

The discussion in the other thread was about a recent change. The latest beta for Plex Media Server introduced a new default agent for movies that caused some of the plugins to lose access to the IMDb/TMDb IDs; hence their push to get back visibility on those IDs

I looked into this, but no success. I guess it’s due to the IDs as mentioned. I was just curious how the user in the other thread managed to still get the TV to work while the movies didn’t - as this is my main priority.

Not to worry - I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the IDs to reintroduced.

Thanks for the advice.

Keep in mind… the IDs are currently only missing for movies.  
So if tv shows are giving you a headache that might be for a different reason.

If you don’t wanna wait someone has forked the original plugin and it works with the new movie agent.
