Migrate users watched status from one server to another

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.22.3.4392
Player Version#: 1.31.0.2254-43df1e6e
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 (Docker)

I have a separate server and PMS for my friends and family. I don’t want to maintain two servers, so I would like to ‘merge’ the two. Both servers using the same network attached storage. I want to have the merged server to retain the user “watched” status for each user.

What I’d like to do is add all the users to one of the existing servers. Somehow move all the watched statuses for all the migrated users.

Is there a way to do this?

I think this will work but haven’t tried it myself so cannot speak for how accurate or successful the process is…

I don’t think this will work. This method is moving the DB from one server to another. I need a way to ‘merge’ the databases.

No, it’s not. It is just copying the contents of one table.
But yes, you will have to filter out the lines for your own user account (if you have played anything from this server) so only the “play” events of your friends/family will be imported.

Note that this will only work for media which are “matched”. Unmatched media like photos, or personal videos do have different IDs on different servers, so the “play”-events you are importing don’t fit.

See this thread, if you want to merge the watched status from two servers

But make sure you read to the end as I updated one of the steps
