**Known Issues:**
Solutions are unlikely due to the nature of these issues
- *Plex Music:* Kodi tries to scan every(!) single Plex song on startup. This leads to errors in the Kodi log file and potentially even crashes. (Plex puts each song in a "dedicated folder", e.g. 'http://192.168.1.1:32400/library/parts/749450/'. Kodi unsuccessfully tries to scan these folders)
- *Plex Music:* You must have a static IP address for your Plex media server if you plan to use Plex Music features. This is due to the way Kodi works and cannot be helped.
- If something on the PMS has changed, this change is synced to Kodi. Hence if you rescan your entire library, a long PlexKodiConnect re-sync is triggered.
- External Plex subtitles (separate file, e.g. mymovie.srt) can be used, but it is impossible to label them correctly/tell what language they are in. However, this is not the case if you use direct paths

- If using Addon Paths: In the TV show video nodes On Deck and Recently Added, Kodi will not display the Episode Information screen if you push "i". This is a Kodi issue. It does work if you use Direct Paths
*Background Sync:*
The Plex Server does not tell anyone of the following changes. Hence PKC cannot detect these changes instantly but will notice them on full/delta syncs.
