Welcome to PlexKodiConnect (PKC)

Combine the best frontend media client Kodi with the best multimedia backend server: Plex

PKC allows you to use all the native functionalities of Kodi while using your Plex server to manage your media. It's the best of both worlds.

• Ultra smooth navigation (no delays for loading artwork)
• Beautiful, highly customizable user interfaces using any Kodi skin you want
• Play any file under the sun, including 4k and True HD
• Automatically and instantly update your play status with Plex just like any other Plex client

So let's get started!

• How to get started: Installation of PKC, and then you should configure PKC on the first run
• Customize your Kodi homescreen and break up your Plex libraries
• Setup Kodi for several users
• Setup Kodi for several Plex Media Servers
• Do check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to optimize your setup!

Languages

PKC supports the following languages (just set the Kodi language accordingly):

• English
• German

What is currently supported?

Currently these features are working:

• Movies and Home Videos
• TV Shows
• Pictures and Photos
• Plex Watch Later / Plex It!
• Plex Transcoding
• Instant watched state/resume status sync: This is a 2-way synchronisation. Any watched state or resume status will be instantly (within seconds) reflected to or from Kodi and the Plex media server
• Plex Companion: fling Plex media (or anything else) from other Plex devices to PlexKodiConnect
• Direct play directly from network paths (e.g. "\\server\Plex\movie.mkv" or "smb://server/Plex/movie.mkv") instead of slow HTTP (e.g. "192.168.1.1:32400"). Do have a look at direct paths.

Important note about MySQL Database in Kodi

The addon is not and never will be compatible with the MySQL database replacement in Kodi. In fact, PlexKodiConnect takes over the point of having a MySQL database because it acts as a "man in the middle" for your entire media library.
