Just thought I would throw this out there, I’ve been using Plex since pretty well day one, and I’d like to say congrats on all the amazing changes.
Anywhoo…
I am one of those people who never delete anything for the simple fact that I would like to be able to go back and watch it again a few months, or even a few years later without having to re-download it. Due to this, I constantly go in and get all my previously viewed videos and move them to a storage drive attached to the computer, after it’s full I go get a new one and so on. Currently I have 12TB of space in my PC and that’s what stores all my TV and Movies that auto download via RSS feeds, I think it would be a pretty freakin awesome feature if I could set Plex to automatically move all videos that have been previously watched to my external drive without having to do it manually. It would be even better if it could sort them via different categories - genre, year, etc.
Any chance of getting something like this implemented?
Oh and - THANK YOU FOR THE DUPLICATE FINDER!!! LIFE SAVER!!!

Also perhaps a “move to album” feature.

> Hi Boys and girls, as the title suggests, i would like an automated way to move my watched tv shows to a different disk, this is because i am running out of space on my tv shows disk, however i have lots of spare ones that i would like to archive watched shows to. I started to write a powershell script to achieve this but my skills very quickly ran out. I have the very latest PHT running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard box. Any help would be appreciated.
