How to set the watched flag and progress via a metadata agent?

[Brian_Schneider]

I am working on building an agent to pull in metadata from SageTV recordings and it’s working quite nicely thus far. Sage also keeps track of what’s been watched/not watched as well as the “progress” in terms of how much of a file has been viewed thus far.



Is there a way to set that in Plex via a metadata agent? I don’t see any metadata variables in the metadata model that captures this information, but Plex must store it somewhere as watched/not watched/progress are used in all of the Plex clients.

You can changed the watched/unwatched status via following URL:

Set Watched: http://:32400/:/scrobble?key=&identifier=com.plexapp.plugins.library
Set UnWatched: http://:32400/:/unscrobble?key=&identifier=com.plexapp.plugins.library

where the = the number from the key attribute return from PMS.

eg if key for a movie was /library/metadata/554 then =554

then use
Watched: http://:32400/:/scrobble?key=554&identifier=com.plexapp.plugins.library
UnWatched: http://:32400/:/unscrobble?key=554&identifier=com.plexapp.plugins.library

Just wanted to reinvigorate this thread.  This thread is good for pulling watched/unwatched status into Plex, but is there a way to handle the reverse where we somehow "hook" into the event that Plex has to set the watched status and then invoke a URL or other python code to take action on that?  Would be great as that would help set the status back to SageTV in the SageTV agent that we've built.
