How do I transfer my watch history Etc from Windows to Raspberry pi server? I just put a new Raspberry pi 4 into service and want to transfer my watch history to it from the Windows server! The RPI is setup and running (no librarys yet waiting to find the solution to my issue first) is there a way to do this without manually marking everything? I want to save power and wear and tear on my freshly built desktop (I9, gtx 1080 Ti hybrid, with a Corsair Water cooler) it was built to edit drone video so I don’t want It running 24/7 my old system got zapped by lightning and I needed to fix it ASAP the RPI 4 wasn’t available yet so I set Plex up on the desktop until I found a better solution (the RPI 4, 4 gigs of RAM) any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I’m kinda new to the RPI world so I need step by step instructions.

The steps provided in this support article should get you there, depending on what you meant by “etc” in your post. This procedure moves over statistics only, not metadata. So go ahead and create your new libraries on the Pi, matching the existing ones on your Windows PMS, and then run through this procedure. As the article states, both servers need to be stopped.

Thanks that’s enough 90% of the meta data Plex was accurate on.

I reposted the question with more detail now that I know exactly what I’m using, thanks for that information I will try to make use of it when my Synology NAS arrives
