Run System Diagnostic
Runs nine live diagnostic checks in sequence and provides actionable fix recommendations for any warnings or errors.

Webhooks
Webhooks - Help
Website guide- Plex No webhook setup is required. Plekt connects to Plex's WebSocket notification channel automatically to capture watched and unwatched changes in real time. It also checks playback progress every minute, so Plex activity continues to feed the normal watched-state and sync workflows.
- Emby Webhook Setup Guide Expand the matching setup box on the left to see the webhook URL and the event selections required in Emby. Once saved, Emby sends playback and watched-state events to Plekt so changes can be recorded and passed to the other connected services.
- Jellyfin Webhook Setup Guide Expand the matching setup box on the left to see the webhook URL and the event selections required in Jellyfin. Keep the webhook pointed at this Plekt instance and enable the playback and library events used by the guide.

Use the generated secret in the webhook URL or in an

Metadata Providers
Metadata Providers - Help
Website guide- TMDB Provides core movie and TV metadata, posters, backdrops, cast bios, trailers, release dates, and recommendations. A personal key is used when configured; otherwise the built-in project access is used.
- YouTube Provides trailer descriptions and duration details for media pages when a YouTube Data API key is configured.
- Fanart.tv Supplies fallback posters, backdrops, logos, clearart, and disc art when TMDB does not have the artwork. The built-in project key works without a personal key; your own key raises rate limits.
- TheTVDB Provides TV series names, season and episode ordering, air dates, and artwork. The built-in project key works without a personal key; your own key gives you your own quota.
- OMDb Adds IMDb ratings and Rotten Tomatoes comparisons to movie pages when configured. Ratings are cached for seven days and the free tier allows 1,000 requests per day.

Website guide-
Live Trakt Connection
Keeps Trakt and Plekt in sync automatically in both directions. New watches, rewatches, and unwatches are shared across Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt.
Sync Now also checks older Trakt watches and repairs anything that has drifted out of sync.
- Start from current state is the safe default when your media servers already have watch history, or you are unsure which service is complete. It records Trakt's current state as a baseline without sending existing Trakt watches to the media servers; future changes still sync.
- Import all existing Trakt watched state is for migrations or when Trakt is the trusted source and the other servers are new or empty. It queues matching existing Trakt watches for the connected servers.
- Manual Connection Uses personal Trakt API client credentials instead of Plekt's built-in device application. Keep Plekt as the only Trakt bridge and disable other Trakt plugins to prevent competing writers or loops.
- Trakt History Importer Imports watch history from Trakt.tv CSV or JSON exports into the local Plekt database without making outbound Trakt API calls.

Tautulli - Help
Website guide-
Tautulli
Tautulli is the source for this one-time import. Plekt reads one user's completed movie and episode plays, then sends imported history to the media servers you select.
- Connect Tautulli with its address and API key, test the connection, and choose the user to import. A browser address ending in
/homecan be used as the base address. - Choose and preview with an optional date. Leave it blank for all available history, or import plays from that date onward. Preview requires a selected user and shows the record count before reading the history.
- Back up, then import after reviewing the preview. A local watch-history backup is recommended and can be skipped, followed by a separate import step. Plekt merges by identity and watch date so rewatches remain separate, then queues the selected targets for background syncing.

- Audit Phantom WatchesRuns a read-only scan for suspicious duplicates or broken imported episode data. Results are marked high-confidence or review-only; nothing is changed.
- Remove Duplicate WatchesFinds repeated movie or episode watches and keeps the oldest date. The other rows are deleted and the correction is pushed to connected platforms after you confirm the exact count. This cannot be undone.
- Restore Missing Episode NamesFinds episode rows with a missing or coordinate-only name and restores the real title using stored rows, cached season metadata, and a metadata lookup when needed. Read-only audit results are kept separate from retryable failures.
- Watch-State AliasesLists unresolved episode watch states stored under episode ids or a title only, including newer conflicting entries. Per show, choose Belongs to this show (the newest watch state wins and the entries join the show) or Different show (they are left alone and hidden until restored from the Dismissed list). Only Plekt's local watch state changes; nothing is sent to connected platforms.

Sync Tuning
Sync Tuning - Help
Website guide-
When you manually mark an item as watched in Plex / Emby / Jellyfin
Choose how app-marked watches are dated or reviewed. Require review is the default and recommended option: it holds the item for a decision in Manual Watch review, where it appears above Sync - Idle.
- Mark as watched now - Use the time the scanner sees the watched flag.
- Mark as watched on release day - Use the movie or episode release date.
- Mark as watched at the same time as other episodes - Use the before/after timing from the media pages.
- Sync historical watched items to Plex Controls whether older watched items are sent to Plex. On is recommended when you want a Plex library to match Plekt; new watches continue to sync normally either way. Off can leave older items unwatched in Plex, make Plex counts and badges differ, and keep imported or restored watches out of Plex activity.
- Watched Threshold (%)Sets the playback percentage at which a play counts as watched. Default: 90%. Valid range: 50-100.
- Minimum Resume Position (sec)Sets the minimum playback position saved as a resume point. Default: 60 seconds. Valid range: 0-3600.
- Active Session TTL (min)Sets how long an inactive now-playing session remains valid. Default: 5 minutes. Valid range: 1-120.
- Outbound Request Timeout (sec)Sets how long Plekt waits for a media server response before giving up. Default: 10 seconds. Valid range: 2-120.
- Fast Local-Network Sync Off by default. When enabled, bulk sync operations use more concurrent requests and shorter gaps. Only enable it when Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin are all self-hosted on the same trusted local network as Plekt.
- Sync Up Next to media apps On by default. Keeps Plekt's Up Next queue aligned with Plex Continue Watching, Emby Continue Watching, and Jellyfin Next Up. Turn it off to leave those app lists unchanged; Plekt's own Up Next view remains available.
