-## Help yourself
-* I did try to restart Kodi :-)
-* I checked the [PKC Frequently Asked Questions on the PKC wiki](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/faq)
-* I did try to reset the Kodi database by going to `PKC Settings -> Advanced -> "Reset the database and optionally reset PlexKodiConnect"` and then hitting YES, NO
-* I did check the [existing issues on Github](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/issues)
-
-## Describe the bug
-A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
-
-## To Reproduce
-Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-1. Go to '...'
-2. Click on '....'
-3. Scroll down to '....'
-4. See error
-
-## Expected behavior
-A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
-
-## You need to attach a KODI LOG FILE!
-A Kodi debug log file is needed that you recorded while you reproduced the bug. **Do clean your log of all Plex tokens (="Plex passwords")!!!** .
-1. Activate Kodi's debug logging by going to the Kodi `Settings` -> `System` -> `Logging`. Then toggle the `Enable debug logging` setting.
-2. Restart Kodi to start with a "fresh" log file.
-3. Reproduce the bug.
-4. Follow the [Kodi instructions](http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy) to grab/share the Kodi log file. Usually only `kodi.log` is needed
-    * You can [find the log file here](http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced#Location)
-5. **Delete all references to any of your Plex tokens** by searching for `X-Plex-Token` and `accesstoken` and replacing the strings just after that!
-    * It's easiest if you copy your token, then use Search&Replace for the entire log file
-    * You don't want others to have access to your Plex installation....
-6. Drop your log file here in this issue. Or use a free pasting-service like https://pastebin.com and include the link to it here
-    
-I am aware that I can delete Plex tokens that I accidentially posted by following the [instructions on the PKC wiki](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/How-to-Report-A-Bug#i-published-my-plex-token-to-some-forum-or-github-anyone-can-now-access-my-plex-server)

 # PlexKodiConnect (PKC)
 **Combine the best frontend media player Kodi with the best multimedia backend server Plex**

-PKC synchronizes your media from your Plex server to the native Kodi database. Hence:
- Use virtually any other Kodi add-on
- Use any Kodi skin, completely customize Kodi's look
- Browse your media very fluently (cached artwork)
- Automatically get additional artwork (more than Plex offers)
- Use Plex features with a Kodi interface
+PKC combines the best of Kodi - ultra smooth navigation, beautiful and highly customizable user interfaces and playback of any file under the sun - and the Plex Media Server.

 Have a look at [some screenshots](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Some-PKC-Screenshots) to see what's possible.

 ### Download and Installation

-Using the Kodi file manager, add [https://croneter.github.io/pkc-source](https://croneter.github.io/pkc-source) as a new Kodi `Web server directory (HTTPS)` source, then install the PlexKodiConnect repository from this new source "from ZIP file". See the [github wiki installation manual](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/Installation) for a detailed guide. Kodi will update PKC automatically. 
+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.

 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 ;-)).

+- Ensure movies and tv shows are synced before music

-    For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top
-    itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
-
-        dirpath, dirnames, filenames
-
-    dirpath is a string, the path to the directory.  dirnames is a list of
-    the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
-    filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.
-    Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.
-    To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
-    dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
-
-    If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a
-    directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories
-    (directories are generated top down).  If topdown is false, the triple
-    for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its
-    subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
-
-    When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place
-    (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the
-    subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune the
-    search, or to impose a specific order of visiting.  Modifying dirnames when
-    topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in dirnames have
-    already been generated by the time dirnames itself is generated. No matter
-    the value of topdown, the list of subdirectories is retrieved before the
-    tuples for the directory and its subdirectories are generated.
-
-    By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored.  If
-    optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it
-    will be called with one argument, an os.error instance.  It can
-    report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception
-    to abort the walk.  Note that the filename is available as the
-    filename attribute of the exception object.
-
-    By default, os.walk does not follow symbolic links to subdirectories on
-    systems that support them.  In order to get this functionality, set the
-    optional argument 'followlinks' to true.
-
-    Caution:  if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
-    current working directory between resumptions of walk.  walk never
-    changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
-    either.
-
-    Example:
-
-    import os
-    from os.path import join, getsize
-    for root, dirs, files in os.walk('python/Lib/email'):
-        print root, "consumes",
