This would be really handy. I would see this as changing the way servers work fundamentally though, so I can understand why it hasnā€™t been implemented yet :). In my dream world there would be one database which maintains play state that is shared amongst many servers. These could be things like a local iPhone, a Mac, a NAS, Plex Cloud Sync, e.t.c.

Macā€™s could register themselves as available to transcode files for a weaker NAS, but wouldnā€™t necessarily have to keep the files (but they could).

would be great.

65

+1 It would be brilliant to see this happen.

This would be great, with the WD My Passport Wireless Pro coming out which can act like a Plex Media Server, you could sync it with a larger Plex Media Server at home, allowing you to take it with you when traveling.

Currently what I do with my Roku (My FireTV stick just simply wasnā€™t reliable enough) is load up a tablet with an 128 gig sd card, have it function as a Plex Media Server, grab my HooToo Tripmate, connect to the same wifi and use that to fling to the tv. If we had the ability to sync a Plex Media Server (like a device, we currently are able to do that when connecting a tablet as a client, which can function as a server) It would allow me to take more media, but also have more reliable storage.

Maybe the developers for the My Passport Wireless Pro software could make it also act as a client, with a web interface, similar to the Plex Web.

Just thinking out loudā€¦

This is exactly why i want this. I donā€™t want to sync everything, so Iā€™d like a different PMS (on the WD My Passport Wireless Pro) to be able to act as a sync client against my main PMS at home.

+1 - Would love the sync between servers

71

+1 - just got a WD Passport Wireless Pro and would love to sync data and meta data from my main Plex server to it. If I just copy the files all the work I did to clean up the names and such will get lost. This is a must have very soon!

Yes; server sync based on Optimized versions. Want to put lower quality, direct play capable copies on WD Passport Wireless Pro and have it stay in sync with main library.

73

+1 would be awesome!

74

Another +1 for Passport Wireless Pro to be supported like a client. I already sync my main collection between two 50TB synologys using rsync and Iā€™d like to just have a simple way of managing what gets synced to the my passport.

75

+1 for me too

LOVE PLEX, I just got a WD Passport Wireless Pro for when my family is on the road and would love to find a way to have the servers automatically sync and transcode to a pre-determined settings like plex-pass on a device when the Wireless Pro connects to the same wifi network.

77

+1 from me, too

+1 for sure

+1 from me. Really would help
