When moving from one Plex Media Server to the next I would love the ability to export my TV Recording Schedule and import it elsewhere. I hope this would be relatively low hanging fruit by I do not know how that data is stored.
Thanks,
Pete

I completely agree. This feature would be really useful. I’ve changed servers a few times this year, and rebuilding my recording schedule is always the worst part.

+1 for this.
You can get the “recording schedule data” in XML, which can import into excel. The URL process is detailed here: [Plex Media Server URL Commands](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201638786-Plex-Media-Server-URL-Commands "Plex Media Server URL Commands")
The folders are different, however.
Example from [Plex Media Server URL Commands](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201638786-Plex-Media-Server-URL-Commands "Plex Media Server URL Commands")
> A list of Libraries with details for each Library is available:
> [http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere](http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere)
URL to return the xml like ( **Server** ) & ( **folder** )& ( **Token** )
**Server** : ([http://127.0.0.1:32400](http://127.0.0.1:32400))
**Folder** : (/library/sections)
\*\*Token \*\*(?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere)
For Recording schedule data, instead of:
**Folder** : (/library/sections)
Use
**Folder** : ( /media/subscriptions/ )
When you make the url:
[http://127.0.0.1:32400/media/subscriptions/?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere](http://127.0.0.1:32400/media/subscriptions/?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere)
Returns all recordings scheduled and where they are stored. Each recording has a key.
Here is the record for _The X-Files_, indicating the key is **119** :
/@size 77
/@size/#agg
**/MediaSubscription/@key 119**
/MediaSubscription/@targetLibrarySectionID 7
/MediaSubscription/@targetSectionLocationID 18
/MediaSubscription/@title All Episodes
/MediaSubscription/@type 2
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@guid com.gracenote.onconnect://show/183870
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@thumb[https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w154/](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w154/) .jpg
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@title The X-Files
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@type show
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@year 1993
/MediaSubscription/Directory/@year/#agg 1993
To obtain the Show Recording schedule data URL, use the above key as the sub folder in the url.
Key **119** :
[http://127.0.0.1:32400/media/subscriptions/\*\*119\*\*/?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere](http://127.0.0.1:32400/media/subscriptions/ **119** /?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere)
This xml response provides the recording details like:
- onlyNewAirings
- minVideoQuality
- replaceLowerQuality
- recordPartials
- startOffsetMinutes
- endOffsetMinutes
- lineupChannel
- startTimeslot
- comskipEnabled
