How to copy viewing history from one user to another?

[Danimontes 11]

Greetings,

That's the matter of the question. I'm the manager of the server and I've thought of creating me a normal user so it's safer for me.

Actually, I have a huge viewing history. How can I transfer that history to my new user?

 

Thanks in advance.

Why not just create a new admin user and remove the admin rights from your present one?  And then rename them as well if you want the new admin user to have the old name.

You can cross map userdata with the old legacybackup plugin.

there are numerous scripts out there that can be modified to do this in python, or you can spend an hour or so and build it out like I did as a plugin:

 You can try the trakt plugin, although i don't know if could be a problem that the two users are in the same server.

If it’s a brand new user then the new user setup screen has an option to copy this data from an existing user.

Does that include userdata or just user configs?

But a quick test does not include userdata.

Isn't currently the only way would be to use the legacybackup plugin?

Create user then map to new user per the legacybackup  

Or as pwhodges mentioned create a new admin and remove admin from current user.

Oh I thought user data had been added to that. I think we should. It makes sense there.

Hi, 

Thanks for all the comments. 

In the end, I decided to create a new user with admin features, change the name, privileges and password of my old account and kept it that way.
