Unfortunately, the PKC Kodi repository had to move because it stopped working (thanks https://bintray.com). If you installed PKC before December 15, 2017, you need to [**MANUALLY** update the repo once](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Update-PKC-Repository).

### Warning
Use at your own risk! This plugin assumes that you manage all your videos with Plex (and none with Kodi). You might lose data already stored in the Kodi video and music databases as this plugin directly changes them. Don't worry if you want Plex to manage all your media (like you should ;-)).
### Download and Installation
Some people argue that PKC is 'hacky' because of the way it directly accesses the Kodi database. See [here for a more thorough discussion](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Is-PKC-'hacky'%3F).
Install PKC via the PlexKodiConnect Kodi repository download button just below (do NOT use the standard GitHub download!). See the [github wiki installation manual](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Installation) for a detailed guide. Please use the stable version except if you really know what you're doing. Kodi will update PKC automatically.

### Important Notes
1. If you are using a **low CPU device like a Raspberry Pi or a CuBox**, PKC might be instable or crash during initial sync. Lower the number of threads in the [PKC settings under Sync Options](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/PKC-settings#sync-options). Don't forget to reboot Kodi after that.
2. **Compatibility**:
* PKC is currently not compatible with Kodi's Video Extras plugin. **Deactivate Video Extras** if trailers/movies start randomly playing.
* PKC is not (and will never be) compatible with the **MySQL database replacement** in Kodi. In fact, PKC replaces the MySQL functionality because it acts as a "man in the middle" for your entire media library.
* If **another plugin is not working** like it's supposed to, try to use [PKC direct paths](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Direct-Paths-Explained)
### Donations
I'm not in any way affiliated with Plex. Thank you very much for a small donation via ko-fi.com and PayPal, Bitcoin or Ether if you appreciate PKC.
**Full disclaimer:** I will see your name and address if you use PayPal. Rest assured that I will not share this with anyone.
