Hello Devs, I have already looked through similar requests to this and they seem to be for users wishing to sync two different servers running at the same time. Such as these articles [image] PLEX watched list sync between servers (same user) Feature Suggestions I run 2 s…

@OttoKerner please read before closing as the topics you suggested are different.

No, it’s not really different. First you say you want to transfer the whole database – which includes all libraries, all items in those libraries and their metadata. But then you emphasize the watched status in particlar. Either way, what you are requesting has already been requested before. Multi…

Thanks for the reply, again this suggestion you have provided is good but does’t give the detail of the feature required for upgrading to a new server going to a new OS.

The added context doesn’t change what you are requesting. It has already been requested before. And so creating another thread requesting the same thing is not allowed in this subforum. Hence why it is closed as a duplicate request.

If all these people are asking for the same thing or help with the issue why not merge these into one request then?

The merge process is not really possble to undo, that’s why. As this case shows, it often causes discussion.

Discussion is good and helps build on the feature idea. If I was to combine them all into one detailed feature suggestion and remove the others I have created would you be happy with that?

No, because what you are requesting has already been requested. So new threads will be closed. You are free to add to any of the open request threads I have linked.
