duplicate.

provide the same info asked from the previous reporter:

• Error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'plex' when syncing ratings from Trakt to Plex #1743

but they disappeared, so issue is closed

[JonzaUK]

Will try and run this tonight and come, of course disabling rating sync issue goes away.

[glensc]

of course disabling rating sync issue goes away.

not sure of the of course part. didn't see the trace. the gist is unreadable gibberish.

you can post relevant part from plextraktsync.log file content (rename as .txt) to be able to attach to issue.

[JonzaUK]

plextraktsync.txt

Log File attached, this is without the amendments you mention in the previous issue topic as I am not at home at the moment to make those changes just yet.

[RyanTheTechMan]

Here is my log file. Same issue, disabling Rating Sync in BOTH directions fixes the issue.
plextraktsync.log

[glensc]

I didn't really ask for log, just said the log in issue body is unreadable gibberish. and how you should share the logs.

what i did ask, is what asked from previous reporter, need to see inspect of the failing id:

• Error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'plex' when syncing ratings from Trakt to Plex #1743 (comment)

I've created PR, which when used will maybe show error better what id is affected:

• Fix: Raise error when plex_rating needs show but it is missing #1792

so use that pr and run the inspect as asked.

[glensc]

another user (or even two), who report a problem and then disappear?

will close this soon then: c1311ca

[JonzaUK]

I'll try and look into this tonight, apologies just been busy.

2024-02-13T14:24:39.205076104Z Trakt: No match found

so, the problem is with episodes of tv shows that have no trakt match?

this particular one you can fix if you submit the show to tmdb and let trakt import the tvdb id.

and why did you show inspect of id=112175? your error is with 112177. please show inspect of problematic item.

[RyanTheTechMan]

I see, my mistake. Here is the inspect for 112177:
PlexTraktSync1 logs.txt

---

Doesn't the arr family use TVDB by default? So if it is there, shouldn't it be found on TVDB?
For example, for Guid: <PlexGuid:tvdb://140391>, Id: 140391, Provider: 'tvdb' matches with this entry on TVDB.
So I'm confused why that would fail?

[glensc]

looked your second inspect, the episode has trakt match:

• Trakt: https://trakt.tv/episodes/3620586

so far so good. but doesn't explain why show attribute is still missing.
can you do the same inspect of same id's with old plextraktsync version that it used to work for syncing? i suspect the inspect will fail there too.

---

that tvdb has entry, has nothing to do if trakt doesn't have it. if trakt doesn't have tvdb entry this program won't be able to make a match with trakt.

however trakt has match for that tvdb episode:

• https://trakt.tv/search/tvdb/140391

redirects to:

• https://trakt.tv/shows/for-your-love/seasons/3/episodes/9

---

why your plex has only tvdb, beats me. you can try to do fix match for your show in plex and then see with inspect again if the show has more guids present.

[simonc56]

why your plex has only tvdb, beats me.

I agree it's strange. Same probleme here : #1746, Plex only populates tvdb id as external id.

Hypothese :
I think it's because this new 1.40 Plex version updates database. And maybe forces use of 'Plex Series' as default agent instead of older TVDB agent (see here). Not sure about this but maybe a full metadata refresh could fix this guid problem.

EDIT: it's a Plex issue : Episode ordering “TheTVDB (Aired)” not fetching latest metadata

Doesn't explain the crash though.

[glensc]

@simonc56 do you understand how to reproduce this?

[RyanTheTechMan]

why your plex has only tvdb, beats me. you can try to do fix match for your show in plex and then see with inspect again if the show has more guids present.

I fixed match and it showed two instances of the show within plex, I selected the other one. Here are both inspects.
It looks like this may have solved the crash as well.
before change: inspect-1.txt
after change: inspect-2.txt

Also, it appears that everywhere "Skipping PlexGuid:imdb://##### not found on Trakt" occurs, I can run a rematch and find 1-2 OTHER matches for the same movie or show, and in changing it, traktsync can find it on Trakt. So, I'm not too sure how the crash was occurring, but it does appear to allow it to work.
(I have around 10-15 movies and 10-20 anime with the issue so not a huge issue for me but obv shouldn't crash)

[simonc56]

@simonc56 do you understand how to reproduce this?

No.

[glensc]

Also, if anyone understands how to reproduce the situation, it would greatly improve the chances of fixing the problem. maybe the fix is just to ignore such situation, i.e in the earlier version that didn't crash, was the problematic id processed or skipped?

I suspect it has something to do with broken data from plex side. that in earlier versions resulted skipping the item

Coming from #1804 (all my original issue template information is filled out there)

Adding 4 inspect outputs (explained below)

This is for S01E01 of Gundam SEED Destiny (the problem show/episode). Trakt believes this is S02E01 of Gundam SEED and that Gundam SEED Destiny does not exist at all.
Seems to work.

To reproduce from the ground btw:

---

I added Gundam SEED to Sonarr (monitoring off, no immediate search)
I searched for S01E01, it grabbed and imported
Plex picked it up
I fixed match (it was already correct) and refreshed metadata
I grabbed the IDs (web ID and discovery ID) from the XML info
I ran plextraktsync inspect ... with both to produce the logs above

Since Trakt seems to use TMDB which sees Gundam SEED Destiny as Season 2 of Gundam SEED but Sonarr/Plex see Gundam SEED Destiny as a separate show entirely there is a mismatch.

Trakt/TMDB see it as this:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/20111-seed/season/2/episode/1
https://trakt.tv/shows/mobile-suit-gundam-seed/seasons/2/episodes/1

Sonarr/Plex see it as this:
https://thetvdb.com/series/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-destiny/episodes/157141

Edit:
I forgot to mention - for my "from the ground" test:
I removed both shows via Sonarr, and also removed all files/folders.
Plex detected the file changes and both shows were removed from my library
I emptied trash in Plex
I ran plextraktsync without issue while both shows were not present
Then I proceeded with the above steps for each show to add them back and grab only the first episode of each to test

I'm done with both shows anyway, so I don't need them, but if another media item in the future has a similar issue I hope this information helps to narrow down how to fix it.

As explained previously, there is something wrong in your Plex metadata.
IMDB and TMDB guids are missing.
If I request Plex metadata for Angry eyes episode with https://metadata.provider.plex.tv/library/metadata/5d9c1079ffd9ef001e9e9455
I get the following 3 guids items as expected :

"Guid": [
	{"id": "imdb://tt0434694"},
	{"id": "tmdb://580252"},
	{"id": "tvdb://157141"}
]

Plextraktsync is perfectly able to manage seasons not being ordered identically in tmdb & tvdb, thanks to those episodes ids.
That's why it's important that you get proper Plex metadata. Only then you can sync to trakt.

I can reproduce this guid problem with PMS 1.40.0.7998 :

• If episodes ordering is set to TVDB, Plex only populate tvdb id.
• If episodes ordering is set to TMDB, Plex populate 3 ids : tmdb, tvdb ans imdb.

Seems a Plex Server issue, see here : Episode ordering “TheTVDB (Aired)” not fetching latest metadata

Note: I can't reproduce the crash 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'plex' thing from first post.

[nemchik]

I switched from TVDB to TMDB for the shows agent and it seems to sync without error now. This causes a new issue however where plex doesn't seem to be reading metadata for the episode. The show still matches seemingly the same as it did before, but the episode is just listed as Episode 1 and no other metadata is available. Switching back to TVDB resolves the missing metadata, but then plextraktsync can't do its thing.

Edit: should note that other metadata seems fine, but because TMDB thinks this show is actually season 2 of another show it lacks matching episode metadata.

[simonc56]

I switched from TVDB to TMDB for the shows agent

Switching back to TVDB

No, you're doing wrong.
Agent must be Plex Series.
Then you change episode order to be TMDB or TVDB as you wish, but you shouldn't change the agent.

[nemchik]

Sorry, I should have been clear.
This is the specific setting I was changing (episode ordering, from the advanced tab of editing the library)

My agent has always been set to Plex Series. Changing the episode ordering setting made the difference with whether or not plextraktsync worked, and also whether or not the other metadata for the episode was available at all. All of the behavior I described above happened with the agent set to Plex Series (and never changed) and only changing the episode ordering.

Fix in PR #1806

[nemchik]

awesome. thanks. it does suck that there's no way to get a match to work for the sync (seems to be more of a plex issue though), but skipping is definitely preferable to crashing 😄
