Just a quick post from a 8 years+ user I’ve moved my plex server another time and this give me just on request PLEASE add the possibility to import/export/sync views! It’s basic feature from a Media Manager point of view. …and easy to code! ---

You can already migrate the existing server including all your data (including view states, ratings, manual edits…) or only transfer the view state/ratings information. > **[Move an Install to Another System | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/)** > > It is possible to move a Plex Media Server installation from one computer/system to another in most cases.

Thanks for the reply! I saw those article only playing in an sql database seems … a bit overcomplicated. I mean, how comes users views and ratings aren’t sync on an account based. That way my view would be synced over all plex server without having nothing to do. It’s a feature request. It would be awesome if we don’t have to dig into hidden folder or an obscure sql file to get that feature. ---

Personally, I don’t see “watch history” as a privacy issue as it doesn’t imply anything other than you saw a movie. But I see your point. So let’s find a solution guys! I’m I the only one who would use that feature? I allready use Trakt.tv _so here goes the privacy issue for me_. There is already a webhook possible with trakt, why not use in house 2way sync for that? (I know it’s possible with third party command line software but the purpose here is to have something working out of the box) Is it not possible for plex to encrypt the views on their side? I mean it should be somewhat less complicated than “Plex Arcade” to manufacture and it would help their core user. …seems so obvious in my head lol ---

> [@ZaFish](#): > > I’m I the only one who would use that feature? There’s a number of actual suggestion threads asking for such options: > [@Watch status across servers (with same plex account)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/watch-status-across-servers-with-same-plex-account/70257): > > I have a couple different servers and a few items are the same on both servers.   If I watch something on Server 1, and that same content is on Server 2 both copies of that content should be marked as watched.   Ultimately this would be a feature either per server or per show.      The other option would be to provide an export watched status script and import script on each server.   This would need to run in an automated fashion at some interval, but not near as clean.   Thanks,     > [@Full Trakt Integration](https://forums.plex.tv/t/full-trakt-integration/51424): > > Trakt support on at least the player and the iOS and Android apps. > [@Make transferring server to new machine simple and easy](https://forums.plex.tv/t/make-transferring-server-to-new-machine-simple-and-easy/509672): > > I suggest a simple solution to moving your library to a new machine. I don’t understand why it has to be so difficult. Plex needs an option for users to easily bundle their necessary files and then install them on the new machine. I’ve tried multiple times with multiple machines and never had any luck moving my server to a new machine without having to build my metadata back up from scratch. I’ve read the instructions but it never works. Instructions are unclear or incomplete. Would it be so ha… ---
