Yes, that would be great if it could skip  the updated ones! As it lost connection at the letter "A" movie "Alien" it didn't have to reupdate a lot, but for sure at the letter "Y" it would be something else

About the speed I am on a wired 1gb/s connection so I didn't think it would slowdown the process, don't you think?

There would still be a fairly significant slowdown. The api calls the scrips uses don’t necessarily use a lot of bandwidth. It’s more about latency. How long does it take to initiate the connection. That will always be much faster in a local network.

Ok! I'll leave it for now like this, but I'll change it for the large series librairie

@Tangsgod The lastest version of the script should be more efficient now and only updates the items that have not been migrated.

[Tangsgod 22]

Hi @CloudWing93 thanx for the update!

 

I was running in few errors:
 

Error updating metadata for - The Wrong Trousers

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Tangs\Desktop\plex-to-emby-migration-master\metadata-migration.py", line 204, in <module>
    print(f'Error updating metadata for - {m["Name"]}')
KeyError: 'Name'

C:\Users\Tangs\Desktop\plex-to-emby-migration-master>

So I couldn't finish the scan, is there something I can do?

[Tangsgod 22]

So, I retried the previous version: it did the job until the end, sorted all the movies that didn't match but obviously did a full scan of all the movies.

Now I just retry the new version and all I have is those errors:

Error updating metadata for - The Bourne Legacy
movie match success using imdb -- The Bourne Legacy
Failed to parse json response for Emby API cmd '/Users/None/Items/512?Recursive=true': b'Input string was not in a correct format.'

Error updating metadata for - Jason Bourne

Failed to parse json response for Emby API cmd '/Users/None/Items/3452?Recursive=true': b'Input string was not in a correct format.'
Error updating metadata for - The Box
movie match success using imdb -- The Box

Also, i wonder if the match could be done rather with the file name instead of the imdb ID ? 

I' m asking this because Emby agent isn't good as the plex one, so it matched few movies with bad imdb ID choices and then the script don't find them

Have you been setting EMBY_USERNAME? in one of the more recent versions I updated it to use your emby username instead of the userID because it was hard for some people to find and was a little unnecessary. 

I can maybe add a fallback match for name

It's also possible that there is a typo or something like that in the library name you are passing through so plex isn't actually returning any tv shows.

Hi!
Yes, I use exactly the same settings as the previous version. The previous one is working while this one retrun errors for each files

Hi @CloudWing93,

Do you think you will update the last script to make it work?

I haven't been able to replicate your issues with the current version. The None in /Users/None/Items/512?Recursive=true tells me that EMBY_USERNAME is not getting set with the username and not the userID.

Did you see my previous posts explaining that you need to change that?

This is fixed now with the latest version.  I replaced the EMBY_USER_ID variable with the EMBY_USERNAME field. So you'll need to swap that out.

It's also worth noting that it's looking for the local username not the emby connect username.

Hi!

I saw your post and I changed it to my EMBY_USERNAME however, I'm still facing the same errors.
I sent you more infos to look at by MP. Could you have a look?

@mbuhmann did you managed to run the last script without errors?

[Tangsgod 22]

@CloudWing93 do you think that it would be possible to make the script detects the changes made in Plex and apply it automaticly to Emby ?

Like, if we change a poster, or a title of a movie it will then change it to Emby without having to run it manually ?

Awesome script! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much for your efforts.

Is there any way to export subtitle and audio track preference? I know Plex remembers this setting for future views so it must be saved somewhere in the metadata.

I spent about 2 hours going through every MKV in my archive (on Plex) and would prefer not to do it anew with Emby.

Thanks again!

[bigverm23 2]

is this still active? I ran to attempt to import Plex tags as I understood it would work, but nothing appears to be imported into Emby, although the script would indicate success...any thoughts?

[bigverm23 2]

doesnt appear we can get Plex tokens for Home Users...is that correct?

[bigverm23 2]

how exactly does the metadata migration work?  I have custom labels/tags on my Plex stuff but after running the script Emby only seems to show as "migrated"...what does that mean?

I spent lots of  time looking for a script that would migrate user watched history from plex to emby without luck so I decided to just write one myself. This project contains a few python scripts that will help you migrate some of the data from your plex server to you emby server. The scripts match using IMDB, TVDB , and TMDB.  Right now there are two main scripts.

The first one is named metadata-migration.py . It will migrate the following data:

• Posters
• Title
• Original Title
• Sort Title
• Parental Rating
• Labels/Tags

 

The second one is named watched-history-migration.py . This script can migrate watched history for any user but there is a caveat. You have to be able to get that user's plex token. Checkout the readme in the project repository for more details. It will migrate the following data:

• Watched History

https://gitlab.com/CloudWing93/plex-to-emby-migration

I get nothing but errors when running this.

Just tried this script on windows using the power shell and it worked flawlessly! Wonder if there is a way to help it match movies and shows that it couldn't match. Maybe forcing Plex to use IMDb as it's meta source and force a meta refresh??? Will look into that tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the script, Ive been searching for something like this ever since I switched from Plex to emby.

Hi Everyone!

 

Firstly, Thanks for this. It has made my move from plex of 10+ years to Emby a no brainer.

 

I was able to get things working for the primary plex user by NOT using the token and using the username and password directly. This is great, but I am trying to also move my managed users (mainly my wife... the kids and deal with it  ).  When trying to use the primary plex token OR the token associated to her managed user, I receive the follow error:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/cache/appdata/scripts/plex-to-emby-migration/watch-history-migration.py", line 144, in <module>
    account = MyPlexAccount(PLEX_TOKEN)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/plexapi/myplex.py", line 122, in __init__
    data, initpath = self._signin(username, password, code, remember, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/plexapi/myplex.py", line 135, in _signin
    data = self.query(self.SIGNIN, method=self._session.post, data=payload, timeout=timeout)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/plexapi/myplex.py", line 241, in query
    raise BadRequest(message)
plexapi.exceptions.BadRequest: (400) bad_request; https://plex.tv/api/v2/users/signin <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <errors>   <error code="1004" message="password is missing" status="400"/> </errors> 

My script has the following for plex token 

## The plex token should be for the user you are trying to migrate history for.
# Check out the readme for more info
PLEX_TOKEN = "zzz123zzz" <--actual plex token removed

Line 144:

account = MyPlexAccount(PLEX_TOKEN)

I tried looking at the plex api documentation, and that is how I was able to get the username and password to work properly, but no joy with the token.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

[CloudWing93 26]

I wrote this 3 years ago and have done basically no maintenance since. In that time it looks like Plex might have changed their API a little bit. I think the second code block from this section of the docs is what you are looking for.

https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi#getting-a-plexserver-instance

I haven't tested this but I think this should work:

# Add this to the import section at the top of the script
from plexapi.server import PlexServer

# Replace lines 144-145 in the watch history migration script with:
# Replace lines 160-161 in the metadata migration script with:
plexClient = PlexServer(PLEX_URL, PLEX_TOKEN)

Awesome thanks so much. I will try it..

 

Do you happen to know if there's a way to copy the watch status for a Plex user that I share my server with but they don't have their own Plex server?

[pix64 0]

That tweak worked, but only for the plex master user.

Also 1 More thing,  Doing this for managed users doesn't seem to produce any results at all even when using the proper plex token for that user, the proper username in emby.. I just get empty sets.

 

Any guidance on that piece would also be greatly appreciated.

[CloudWing93 26]

I spun up a test server and made some tweaks to the script. It should work for your home users now. I was able to leverage the 'switchHomeUser' function so you will only need the admin user token.

[pix64 0]

Oh wow.. That was extremely nice of you and I truly appreciate it.  Thank you for your help!

I will give it a go.

Hey @CloudWing93

Joined the forum and just wanted to thank you for these scripts. Made the move from Plex over to Emby much easier!
