### 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
[ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/PlexKodiConnect/images/download.svg) ](https://dl.bintray.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/bin/repository.plexkodiconnect/repository.plexkodiconnect-1.0.0.zip)
Install PKC via the PlexKodiConnect Kodi repository (we cannot use the official Kodi repository as PKC messes with Kodi's databases). See the [installation guideline on how to do this](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Installation).
**Possibly UNSTABLE BETA version:** [ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/croneter/PlexKodiConnect_BETA/PlexKodiConnect_BETA/images/download.svg) ](https://dl.bintray.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect_BETA/bin-BETA/repository.plexkodiconnectbeta/repository.plexkodiconnectbeta-1.0.0.zip)

### 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): `Limit artwork cache threads: 5`
Don't forget to reboot Kodi after that.
2. If you post logs, your **Plex tokens** might be included. Be sure to double and triple check for tokens before posting any logs anywhere by searching for `token`
3. **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 takes over the point of having a MySQL database 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)
