Old un-watched media - Leaving Emby Soon - Media clean up

[jw2804 0]

Hi there, I recently moved from Plex to Emby everything is up and running as it should be. However I can`t find an easy way to automate removing old media. Plex had maintainerr, it was seamless, on my home screen I (and all my users) had a "Leaving Plex Soon" category, anything requested and not watch by the requester in x number of weeks or any content not watch in 6 months was added to the collection then removed not to long after. A great feature and along with automated downloads of new content I was confident stuff was getting added and removed with minimal admin. 

I found Janitorr and gave it ago and after a full weekend of faffing about with it I have given up. I'm not a dev or even very technical so manually editing .yml config files is a pain in butt and it seems it needs Jellystats which I can`t get working - I have the Emby Statistics plugin which works great so Jellystats isn't a requirement for anything else.

I have search the forums and feature requests but haven't found anything that matches what i'm after. Am I missing something ? 

fyi - Im using a 32GB DDR5, 46TB Terra-master F4-424 Pro running Unraid 7.1.4, Emby Premier, Sonarr, RAdarr, Jellyseerr, SAbNZB. (plus a bunch of other containers not related to my media server)

Hopefully I haven't missed something obvious (like a plugin that does exactly what i'm after).

Thanks,

Emby is not a piracy service.

JW,

I know you are asking for a feature inside Emby.  That is a valid request.  However, you could also use a file manager to look for directories sorted by last accessed and just move everything not watched in the last 6 months to a new library folder, "Leaving soon".

Emby will list the new library on the home page and you get what you want.  The trick is to get this done easily.  In Linux, you could write a script that searches and moves the media, by just running it.  This is a file management task that can already be done pretty easily and quickly.  You don't have to do one media folder at a time, but you do need to learn the file manager and possibly make a script or batch file code.
