Played From Plex plugin


Recommended Posts

Plex has become an unstable mess. So, I decided to switch to Emby. But I wanted to save all the Movie and TV Show played status. This plugin accomplishes that. It's only been tested on x86 hardware (Synology NAS). You can find the plugin here: https://github.com/jhuebel/PlayedFromPlex

Any feedback is welcome. The usage of the plugin should be pretty self-explanatory. But take a look at the README on the GitHub page for details.

I should note that this also includes a Scheduled Task that runs every six hours. So, if you've already migrated a user from Plex to Emby, you'll probably want to remove them from the User Mappings. But the intent of the Scheduled Task is to sync played status for users that are still using Plex until you have a chance to migrate their devices.

...I'm using a QNAP NAS and will happily share how it works on it.

OK, it works!

However, at least for QNAP, both PlayedFromPlex.dll & meta.json had to be in %ProgramData%\Emby-Server\plugins, not a subdirectory.

I was unable to see my friends (other Plex accounts with Library access).  Will that be possible at some point?

I was running watchstate in a docker container on my QNAP until now and this is a great replacement!

edit: I set the files to `666` to match the others in the `Plugins` directory.
