Hi,
I used Plex for 4 years, but after two issues destroying the watch status' for multi-users I gave up and went to Emby for the brilliant Trakt implementation. The first issue was a hardware fault resulting in the loss of all locally stored watch status info, the second was something within Plex that went wrong - woke up one day to see watch status' merged for all users (this was before trying any Trakt integration - which for Plex wouldn't have solved the issue anyway, at least not for all users). Both resulted in the arduous task of everyone resetting their status' manually for a large library.
Emby was the solution at the time - under the Emby user, you add the Trakt username & password and it syncs flawlessly with 100% accuracy for 4 heavy users for a little over a year (to date). However, whilst the web player for Emby is definitely better looking (subjectively of course), their is no moving away from the fact that Plex tech is much better. The server is just more efficient, stable and consistent. I've kept my eye on the Trakt plugin for Plex and saw this a while back:
https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler/issues/177
Apparently, it works from the 0.9.9-beta! However, I've tried twice now and have been unable to get it to work. Has anyone been able to get this to function? If so, is it 'idiot proof', stable and reliable?
I'm still disappointed that I can't get Trakt to work for all users, providing a 'safety net' for watch status' and giving me a solution to what is my biggest barrier to using what is a superior media sever solution. If only it was straight forward and simple like the Emby integration, but as it is I'm confused as to how the damn integration works.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it.
Many thanks :)
