A simple command-line utility to synchronize watched / seen status between different Plex Media Servers.

• Syncs watch status between different Plex servers.

• NodeJS 4+

plex-sync is installed via NPM:

$ npm install -g plex-sync

There are several available configuration environment variables:

First, find the IDs for the libraries on each server you would like to sync. These IDs can be found at the end of the URL when viewing the library in your browser (like .../section/ID).

Next, use the CLI as follows:

$ plex-sync [https://][token@]IP[:PORT]/SECTION[,rw] [https://][token@]IP[:PORT]/SECTION[,rw]
            [[https://][token@]IP[:PORT]/SECTION[,rw]...]

Sync watched status between two servers, using the default port (32400), using library ID 1 for the first server and library 3 for the second:

$ plex-sync 10.0.1.5/1 10.0.1.10/3

Sync three servers, with different ports:

$ plex-sync 10.0.1.5:32401/1 10.0.1.5:32402/1 10.0.1.10/3

Sync with a server via HTTPS:

$ plex-sync 10.0.1.2/2 https://server-domain/3

Dry run, to see what the script will do:

$ DRY_RUN=1 plex-sync 10.0.1.5/1 10.0.1.5/1

Precise matching (slow and may crash the Plex server):

$ MATCH_TYPE=precise plex-sync 10.0.1.5/1 10.0.1.5/1

Syncing between multiple Plex users (different access tokens):

$ plex-sync [email protected]/1 [email protected]/3

Unidirectional sync (read from one server, write to the other):

$ plex-sync 10.0.1.5/1,r 10.0.1.10/3,w

Complex use case:

$ plex-sync [email protected]:32401/1,r https://[email protected]/3,w [email protected]/2,rw

For more complex strategies, like syncing between multiple different library mappings, just run the tool multiple times. If you need to run the synchronization on a schedule, use another scheduling tool like cron. These more advanced features may be added in the future, but currently plex-sync is very simple.
