Hi all,
I know Composite does not sync the watched status with the library feature and the reason it does not, but I'm wondering how people are overcoming these two situations:
1. You install Composite and all Movies and TV Shows are marked as unwatched. With 100's of Movies and TV Shows how are people marking the watched status in the library feature to be the same as the PMS? Surely not manually?
2. I watch a Movie in Composite that was previously unwatched and now is marked as watched. I now go to another device, like TV, and that movie is marked as unwatched. So the watched status is not synced across devices. Is there some workaround for this?
TIA

I have a very strange phenomenon with Composite 1.4 on a Kodi 18.8 installed on a QNAP HD-Station (chrooted Ubuntu 18.04):
Media is on the same server, available as samba-shares that are also completely accessible by Kodi´s samba client.
However, Composite is only reporting the movies listed under smb://NAS-Rehberg/Multimedia/Filme, but not the ones for smb:// ..../Konzerte. For another subfolder of /Mulimedia only 10% of the content is shared by Composite, even more strange.
But the PMS is definitely sharing the all content in those folders, with any other client there is no problem:
- official Plex-addon for Kodi
- Plex for Android on a Firestick 4K
- Plex for iOS
I´m trying to solve this since weeks, changing from smb to http, using the "replace smb paths", all does not help.
And my Kodi.log is not showing anything of help either...
Does anyone in the forum was in a same situation before, I must either do a stupid mistake or I am in front of something unkown.
Thanks,

P.S.: just found in this forum that you can force a connection test by simply clearing the cache. Will do that first to provoke a log-entry that can help.
Might come back with a debug log in case I can generate something useful by that.

Looking to make the jump from PKC to Composite for a few reasons, but just want to make sure I understand exactly how it works and limitations.
So I will need to go inside the app itself on every restart right (Addon->Composite or whatever)? Because loading it to the TV Shows heading via plugin://plugin.video.composite_for_plex/library/tvshows/ as source leaves me with no syncs between Composite/Plex. Which is fine, going into the Composite addon is no big deal. But my follow up to that is, is it possible to have it display in a similar fashion to TV Shows where it will display the relevant sections of 'Combined Sections' and you can choose what you want to see etc to give it a more modern look? Or is the list view basically as good as it will get in that regard? Is there skins or something to enhance this? I could add all the sections to favourites, but again it just shows it as a clickable box not the actual media under a heading etc.
Appreciate any input, bit late to the party and just not sure exactly what is possible is all.
side note:
Gregeeh user above: I believe this is basically what you're experiencing. You're trying to use the TV Shows category on the left, when you should be INSIDE the Composite app itself (Add-onds --> Composite). Once inside all your stuff should be syncing correctly. I think.

I'm not really technology literate when it comes to plex and media servers, so I don't know how to fix this or what the issue is.
I'm in 4 shared media servers and only one of them doesn't seem to work with composite. When going to Manage Servers I can see that the server that won't work is listed as offline while the others are listed as remote. The server is not offline as I'm able to access it through the plex app and pkc. I've done about 3 fresh installs and messed with the settings as much as I could and nothing has been fixed. I've also tried manually entering the address and that lead to nothing. Does anyone know what I can do?
