Scrobbling failing sometimes due to MaxRetryError

[darkcoderrises]

For the past month or so, scrobbling has been really random for me. If I am binging a series, only some of the episodes would get marked. I looked at the logs and found this error:

2021-08-07 00:27:15,439 - plugin.managers.action           (7f2c5342fb38) :  ERROR (plugin.managers.action:161) - Unable to send action u'scrobble/pause': ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.trakt.tv', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /scrobble/pause (Caused by ProtocolError('Connection aborted.'))"),)

ConnectionError: MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.trakt.tv', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /scrobble/pause (Caused by ProtocolError('Connection aborted.'))

How should this error be fixed? Can we increase the max retries? Is this something that trakt is enforcing?

I am getting this too but only on my QNAP install. No errors on Synology that it syncs played items with. Sadly, This project is mostly abandoned at this point. Last I searched it was still the best tool for my usage case. I may try to look at the code but it is pretty large.

I find that stopping and starting Plex might reset the issue at least temporarily.

I am not sure your usage case but I found some projects that might work for me.

This one works with trak and seems to be pretty active. https://github.com/twolaw/PlexTraktSync

Thanks. So I wrote a retry counter in the code, and it worked. I will send a pull request.
