I don't know if this feature request is in here somewhere, but I have two plex servers running currently, both of them are pulling from the same data sources. It started as a migration but I'm keeping them both online now as a redundant type of option.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The most frustrating thing is keeping them both up to date. You watch an episode of something on one server but the other one still says it's unwatched. You watch part of a movie but then if you have to connect to the other one it's a start over. Wouldn't it be possible to sync the status of the two servers so if something gets marked watched on one it marks it on the other? If you update the library on one it updates the other automatically? Watch part of something and the other server knows where you left off?&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I know there's probably not many who run multiple plex servers but it's nice to know if one of my machines is having an issue the other one is still good.

&nbsp;

Just a thought.

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate

> The idea is that if I have a show on three different servers, I can watch an episode on one server and have it marked as watched on all of the others. It wouldn’t be easy to make this work for series that weren’t matched with TVDB, but I think it could work for those that are matched without too much trouble.
