Move Watchlist settings

Server Version#:1.23.2.4656

Found an old article on how to export this in windows

echo .dump " metadata_item_settings" | sqlite3 com.plexapp.plugins.library.db | grep -v TABLE | grep -v INDEX > settings.sql

adapted it to use the builtin PMS sqlite and using findstr instead of grep so I was able to get the data out but can’t find much on how to import it back in… ideas?

Try replacing “sqlite3” in the command line with the “Plex sqlite” executable.

No cat in windows. I dont think an echo would work but I guess I could try that

This should work for Windows.

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex SQLite.exe” com.plexapp.plugins.library.db “.read settings.sql”

I’m trying to run this but I get

At line:1 char:65
+ ...  Media Server\Plex SQLite.exe” com.plexapp.plugins.library.db “.read  ...
+                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token 'com.plexapp.plugins.library.db' in expression or statement.

Can you show the actual command?
