Server Version#:1.19.4.2935
Trying to move watched / unwatched data over to a multi-user server. I have individual plex servers for my kids, and now as a plex pass member, I’m consolidating down to a single server with multiple users. Is there a method to move the watched / unwatched data from the individual user servers into the respective kids user account in the new multi-user plex server?
There is no method built into Plex to handle this. You could accomplish it using SQLite and manually modifying your database.
I’m familiar with the tool, what is the best way to extract this data from the current database?
Watched status is stored in the Plex database in the table “metadata_item_settings”. If they were the admin of the server, then they will be user id 1, otherwise each user has a unique id. If you’ve already shared your server with these users or if you created managed users, you should be able to see these ID’s in your database.
You’ll want to take the contents of the table and change the user ID to match the ID in your database, then copy the data into your database. Repeat for each user. You’ll also want to double check and make sure to remove any duplicates otherwise the play counts get screwy.
