Question regarding watch history #155

Closed jl94x4 closed 6 months ago

jl94x4 commented 6 months ago

I am currently creating a new database and would like to keep old watch data, but one question I have regarding this is, does this also import continue watching data? For example, if I am watching X Show on my old server and I got up to S03E04, with S0305 on continue watching and then I import watch data, does this get reflected, or is it just literal watch data only?

Thanks!

What you import is a simple YES/NO flag. "Have I watched it".

Plex changed (expanded) the information for all this. Continue Watching is the other part of the information you want which is in the other database (and I can't get to it)

The best solution for your request is this:

This will upload all the viewstate, continue watching, and ratings info. When you create the new db, with that enabled, it will all be reloaded (downloaded from the plex.tv server)
