plextraktsync "watch" not sync "progress bar" on Trakt

[gianfelicevincenzo]

Confirmation

• I have read the README.md on the project homepage
• I have checked if an identical issue or discussion already exists
• I have tried downgrading to find version that can be used as a workaround

The problem

The progress bar works, but if I skip ahead, say, 10 minutes in Plex, it doesn't register in Trakt. It stays stuck. The only way to unblock it is to close the movie progress display in Trakt and wait for it to reappear in Trakt.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

./venv/bin/python -m plextraktsync watch --server=default and run movie on Plex (forward 10 minutes, 5minutes, ecc)

Expected behavior

If I move forward by 10 minutes or 30 minutes, trakt should record the change

Why did you remove the Error trace / logs part ? It's needed so fill it please.

[gianfelicevincenzo]

I deleted it because the logs simply don't report any errors...in fact, I can see in the log that the progress bar is working properly. Sorry for deleting it, but in this case, since I couldn't add anything, I thought it was superfluous.

@simonc56 I've added the logs, and you can see that there are no errors while watching the movie. I've updated the issue.

[gianfelicevincenzo]

I have updated to the latest version and the problem persists.

[simonc56]

Look like a trakt issue : https://forums.trakt.tv/t/scrobbling-doesn-t-work-continue-watching-is-broken/107004

[ThoughtzThruKeyz]

Curious, do you find this provides you with two separate scrobbles? I've been running into issues with duplicate scrobbles, but i do tend to pause and rewind often, and was running into the stuck progress bar as well--though I opted to remove it.
