AutoSync

hi all

I do travel a lot and i do use plex sync on my tablet and phone to watch tv shows while around.

i think it might be useful to get a feature that allows plex to automatically delete the downloaded episodes you’ve watched and start sync the ones after, everytime it gets attached to a wifi.

the user should be able select how many episodes ahead plex should download.

for example, if your next unwatched espisode is S03E11 you could select to have the next 3 always avaiable and plex would automatically download E12 E13 E14.
once you’ve watched, even offline, E11 and the device gets wifi again, plex would delete E11 from the downloaded ones and start downloading E15 automatically.

i don’t expect this to be hard to do but could be quite useful for the ones like me that use to travel a lot :slight_smile:

let me know what you think,

This is already possible.
Start Sync on a tv show (the whole show, not just a season or episode)
tick the box ‘only unwatched’
set the number of episodes to sync

Plex should already do this. You select how many unwatched episodes you require when you setup the season sync.
