The documentation in the GitHub readme shows us how to do pretty much all of the things we want so we’ll follow it. Now that we’ve got an idea of what we want to do, let’s give it a shot in the REPL. For every episode, if it’s been watched on either server, mark it watched on the other.Loop through that list and get the episodes for each show.Find all the shows that the two servers have in common.

It seems that there should only be a few steps: It’s possible that we may not have all the same episodes as each other.If I’ve watched an episode on either, it should appear as watched on both Watched status trumps unwatched status.Fortunately, Plex has an API, so let’s write a script to sync them automatically.Įven better, someone has written a python wrapper for the API: īefore I begin, I’ve made a few assumptions: This brings up a problem though, the watched status does not sync between servers so I have to remember where I was in a show when I swap back and forth between servers. We have pretty similar tastes in TV and I’m not too careful about which server I connect to when I need to get my fix. One of my friends did the same and we share access to our servers.

Syncing Watched Status Plex Servers with PythonĪbout 8 months ago I set up a Plex server to fuel my TV addiction.
