v0.9.6

Update v0.9.6

• Tag: v0.9.6

• GitHub: https://github.com/cenodude/CrossWatch/releases/tag/v0.9.6

This release has upgrade notes.

• Trakt history: minute-precision watched_at

  • Trakt is rolling out a change that rounds watched_at to minute precision.

  • CrossWatch now follows the same rule.

  • If you have a pair with Trakt + History:

    • Recreate the pair, or

    • Run Maintenance tools to clean state (recommended).

  • Docs: FAQ and Maintenance

Highlights

• Plex adapter refactor (History + Ratings)

  • Better accuracy.

  • Much faster incremental history syncs after the first run.

• Captures (formerly “Snapshots”)

  • The UI now labels “Snapshots” as Captures.

  • Capture Compare (Advanced) adds a side-by-side A/B diff viewer.

  • Docs: Capture Compare (Advanced)

• Still on v0.8.x?

  • This is a good point to upgrade to v0.9.6.

Fixes & improvements

• Trakt: minute precision

  • Updated the Trakt adapter to match the new minute-precision semantics.

• Plex: Plex Home token reliability

  • History writes now use the active Plex session token.

  • Prevents “sometimes only season 1” and random unresolved writes when Plex Home switching is involved.

• Plex: strict IDs-only matching

  • History sync can run in strict ID mode using Plex GUIDs (TMDb/IMDb/TVDB).

  • No title/search fallback.

• Plex: incremental history capture

  • Uses a watermark and correct mindate usage.

  • Avoids re-scanning the full server history every run.

• Plex: persistent GUID index

  • Uses a per-pair, on-disk GUID → ratingKey index to speed up strict matching.

• Plex: ratings strict matching improved

  • Episode/season rating resolution now also uses show IDs (TMDb/IMDb/TVDB).

  • Reduces unresolved ratings in strict ID mode.

• Editor: timestamps

  • “Watched At” manual edits are interpreted in local time.

  • Stored consistently to prevent timezone shifts.

• Capture Compare: safer comparisons

  • Compare is now limited to same provider and same feature.

  • Smarter diffing (timestamp normalization) avoids false “updates” due to tiny time differences.

• Plex: history timestamps

  • Reads Plex history using Plex’s native epoch format for consistent results.

  • Ref: https://github.com/cenodude/CrossWatch/issues/103

• Pairs: One-way remove mode toggle (UI)

  • Added a switch under Allow mass delete to control one-way deletion behavior.

  • Logic existed in v0.9.5. This release adds the UI toggle.

  • Docs: Global settings

Reminders

• Plex does not support writing watched_at timestamps back into Plex.

• If you wipe Plex history and sync History into Plex, Plex records plays as now.

• Captures can time out behind a reverse proxy.

  • You’ll typically see a 504 Gateway Timeout (or similar).

  • Increase proxy timeouts, or run Captures via your internal LAN URL.
