sync_watch_status.py fails on Plex->Plex sync

[robdplatt]

Describe the bug

Trying to sync the watch status from one Plex server to another fails. (It does work from Tautulli to Plex)

Provide logs

Link to script with bug/issue https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/utility/sync_watch_status.py

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. python3 newsync.py --userFrom robplatt="Rob's Server # 1 (Primary)" --userTo robplatt="Rob's Server # 2 (Backup)" --ratingKey=262601

Expected behavior Expect the output to say Marked Watch as it does when ran from Tautulli to "Rob's Server # 2 (Backup)"

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Python Version 3.9.6
• PlexAPI version 4.7.0

Additional context

I happen to know my "TV Shows" library ID on "Rob's Server # 1 (Primary)" is 2 and on "Rob's Server # 2 (Backup)" is 3. Seems like this might be the issue?

That line doesn't match up. Have you modified the script or using an older version? If not, it would be that the value for watched_item.librarySectionID is a str and not an int.

Go to that line and edit it to:

library = server.library.sectionByID(int(watched_item.librarySectionID))

@blacktwin, When I initially downloaded the script I guess I didn't grab the header comments. I grabbed a full copy of the script, here is the current error with the correct line number.

    return self._sectionsByID[sectionID]
KeyError: 3

Even the current version of the script is missing the int(). I added the int() and still have the error...

It should be --ratingKey 1234 not --ratingKey=1234. Can you try that?

[robdplatt]

@blacktwin, that seems to have done it. Apologies for the oversight. Thank you for helping me out!

np, I missed it initially too.
