Kodi read Plex library
#1
Hi guys,

So I have a question.
I love Kodi, and use it as my media centre on my TV.
I never used Plex as my internet was crap.

Now I have fiber and can actually stream stuff out of the house.

I work in tradeshows so quite often on the road and travelling hence why I'm now looking into Plex.

But my question is, is there a way to combine the library's?
Or at least get them to read each other?

So lets use a TV show as an example. Big Bang.
I watch the latest episode at home on Kodi, and its marked as watched.

I then leave home and travelling, and I can see on my Tablet/laptop in Plex that I have watched that episode, even tho I never watched it on Plex.
During my travels a new episode comes out, so I decide to watch that on Plex, now Plex markes it as watched and when I get home and Update my Kodi library it scrapes the new episode and marks it as watched.

Is this possible?

As far as I'm aware its not possible to do what you want where both library's are merged.
You could have Kodi installed on your laptop and have a shared MySQL so they would be linked but I'm not sure how you would set up accessing your files while on the road maybe have them stored on a server online or can be accessed by both.
Just guess work by me as I've not really got into that much Smile

If you install the PleXBMC addon into Kodi then you can access you Plex library via Kodi and you dont need to use Kodi's Library at all. You can then access the media wherever you are.

But that would be running Plex ontop of Kodi.

I still want to use Kodi as my main media center for my TV.
I ONLY want to use Plex when I'm on the road.

As I want the pure un-transcoded of Kodi on my TV.
But on the road I dont mind transcoding and dropping the quality.
