Is there a way to sync watched status across servers by user? To me this would be one of the biggest functions to add to the software. If I’m current on things I have on my home server avoiding having those presented on deck or I watched on a secondary server would be fantastic.

If there’s a way to enable this I’ve missed please point me to the steps if documented or explain. If this is not currently possible what can I do to get this on a roadmap? Including drumming up support to show its a desired feature is here a place to  
Vote on potential new features outside forums and “yes please” responses ?

@h00ligan76 - You would want to put in feature Requests in the “Feature Request Voting” sub-forum located here:

[https://forums.plex.tv/categories/feature-bug-voting](https://forums.plex.tv/categories/feature-bug-voting)

Please read all the pinned topics at the top, especially “DUPLICATE requests ARE being locked/ERASED!”, “How to create a feature request.”, and “Rules for this forum (Inc. How to Vote.)”.

Do a search to ensure no one else has already submitted one like it.

I do not know of a way to do that, you would be running multiple servers/databases and you would need duplicate media files on the two separate servers. I watch whatever is on my one Plex server when I am on the road, either sync’ed to a mobile device or streaming and when I get home all is updated on my one server.
