[Croneter]

I'd think that PlexKodiConnect is a couple of magnitudes faster than that, though I can't test on a large library. Took months to improve... Have you looked at its code, specifically the MySQL and Plex metadata retrieval part?

@Croneter I took a closer look at what python-plexapi does and it first retrieves a list of 100 items (specified by mediaimporter.plex) and then retrieves the metadata for every item separately. I did some manual testing and couldn't figure out how to retrieve multiple items from a library section with all necessary metadata (cast, media parts, ...). How do you do that as part of PKC?

With PKC tested last time with KOdi Matrix beta and import over 20k movies and 243k episodes in 40 minutes... but at the end no chance to import last maybe 300 movies... 

That was a while ago while Kodi Matrix was still beta  - PlexKodiConnect should now function just fine!
