I have a couple of Plex servers in different geographical locations. I have the same files in the libraries in both (they rsync with each other), but the problem is that the “slave” server doesn’t inherit all of the cover-art and description tweaks I make on the “master” server. They also don’t remember my settings (my subtitle and last-played positions, for example).
Is there a way (or are there plans for there to be a way) for several Plex servers keep their info in sync for identical files?
You could copy the DB from your master server each night to your slave server and then replace it on the slave.
You could also rsync the meta-directories as well.
Wouldn’t it be better if master/slave servers were a supported feature, so that you’d only have to modify metadata on the master and have it automatically propagate to the slaves? Saves having to rsync metadata yourself and in cases were you can’t really do that, such as having a slave server on an nvidia shield?
Syncing the DB between 2 different servers ( qnap, windows, synology) will not work as the media paths are all different.
Personally I just want the watched (played) info.
Give me a watched.db that can be synced daily or whenever is my dream !
