cenodude/CrossWatch v0.0.8 on GitHub

What’s new in v0.0.8

Smarter snapshot caching
Watchlist snapshots are now locally cached and only refreshed when SIMKL or TRAKT activity timestamps change.
Cursor-aware delta sync
Instead of reloading entire watchlists every run, only new or changed items are requested.

Instant UI refresh on delete
Posters disappear immediately from the watchlist as soon as you delete them — no more waiting for a backend refresh.
Accurate snackbar messages
The snackbar now shows the actual number of deleted items instead of just reflecting network status.

Watcher autostart after reboot
Some installs didn’t start the Plex watcher on boot because the app’s startup hook wasn’t attached.
✅ Fixed: the startup hook is now always bound → watcher starts automatically when Scrobble → Mode: Watch + Autostart is on.
Pairs not showing after saving settings
In a few flows, clicking Save in Settings could overwrite the config without the current pairs.
✅ Fixed: config saves no longer wipe pairs; the Pairs list is preserved and managed only via the Synchronization → Pairs screen.

Smarter two-way syncs across multiple pairs — Works great with setups like SIMKL ↔ TRAKT alongside PLEX ↔ SIMKL (any combination/ordering).
“Delete once → gone everywhere” — If you remove an item on one service, CrossWatch now cascades that deletion to all other services within the same sync run (no more lingering items until the next run).
No accidental first-run wipes — On the very first sync, removals are automatically suppressed to avoid mass deletions while CrossWatch learns your libraries.
Fewer mismatches — ID/linking and alias matching are improved so items are recognized as the same movie/show across services.
Better snapshots for SIMKL — Uses a local shadow/cursor for SIMKL watchlists to keep deltas accurate and predictable.

Progress Accuracy — Fixed incorrect 100% spikes sent to Trakt when pausing or stopping playback.
Seek Handling — Corrected behavior when scrubbing backward; progress now updates properly instead of jumping or freezing.
Restart Detection — Properly resets progress when playback restarts at 0% after previously being mid-way.
Noise Reduction — Removed spammy Plex progress / activity alerts from logs for cleaner output.

Reset state / rebuild snapshot: if you are upgrading from a previous version <0.0.5 reset state (settings - troubleshoot) before you synchronize the first-run
