Fixes #1997
Whenever users click through shows, episodes, movies, etc in Plex Web, Plex sends activity events to a WebSocket. Plex does this because it's attempting to refresh some data for the item when a user views them. Here is an example of the websocket event that fires after clicking a movie:
Assuming you have PKC background sync enabled, PKC is triggering Kodi library updates when this happens. The logic for processing the websocket message is here
It's not ideal that browsing the library is constantly triggering churn in the database (PKC resyncs the item when this happens) & Kodi library updates.
The websocket message looks like it indicates whether or not it actually refreshed the item (the
refreshed) property. I propose that we leverage that and ignore the activity message when it'sfalse.For me, this issue is causing periodic screen flashing/flickering due to the Kodi skin I'm using, so it's quite annoying.
