+1 for this feature

Reposting my comment from another post here:

So I know this script can import watch history from Trakt into Plex and vise versa. But from what I can tell it only imports watch history for items that are currently available to watch in my Plex library. The thing is I want to add ALL my watch history for items dating back several years into my Plex library, including items that are no longer available to watch in my Plex library. That way when I add old content to my Plex library the watch history is already available. Is this possible with this script?

I currently have the script set to auto run and import my watch history from plex to trakt. But I have trakt to plex disabled because sometimes things get marked as played by accident. And I have all my shows set to auto delete watched episodes. So in my case it's not worth it to auto import from trakt to plex since things will randomly get deleted on occasion. So I'm trying to find a way to import my old watch history all at once that way I don't need to have trakt to plex sync enabled.

Needs to be implemented in PlexAPI first :

• markPlayed and markUnplayed Error for medias from Plex Discover pkkid/python-plexapi#1067

No, we'll do it properly with Plex API.

No, we'll do it properly with Plex API.

Fair enough. In the meantime if it's not possible with plex api I think I'll try putting together my own little script to see if I can accomplish this

Why not put your efforts to the right place and submit a fix/improvement to PlexAPI?

I'm currently working on it.

To sync :

watched status of :

• movies
• episodes

and ratings of :

• movies
• shows
• seasons
• episodes

both ways between Trakt and Plex items not in the library.

The user is then supposed to enable the Sync Watch states and Ratings to use it at full potential.

Side effect : when disabling a trakt watched status or rating, it will be back at next sync because Plex keeps it in cloud database. Users may think it's a bug (see #1080).

I'm currently working on it.

Very cool thanks. Looking forward to seeing this in an official release.

Edit: Looks like it was recently merged in python-plexapi pkkid/python-plexapi#1090. Should be possible now using PlexAPI.

Any update on this? I was a bit surprised when sync only imported a handful of ratings, but I also just purged some of my Plex library of old watched media to save some storage, so it makes sense. I would love to have all of my ratings now that Plex just updated with the friends/social feature, even if the media is no longer in my library.

Otherwise, this tool was wildly easy to set up and configure and works perfectly; huge thank you to all of the devs and contributors to this project, I've been looking for something that could do this for awhile now. I'm excited to see what new features get added in the future.

@twolaw if you have unfinished work on this. perhaps push to some PR. a bit easier to continue one's work than start from scratch.

I need to find time to continue this.
Here is bulk commit from May-3 : https://github.com/twolaw/PlexTraktSync/tree/plex-cloud-watched-status

@simonc56 please create a draft PR then.

Draft PR is here :

• Sync watched status and ratings with Plex Discover #1676

Hi guys,

Didn't want to open another Issue so searched around first. I've got everything working with the sync tool, but the one thing 'missing' for me is the ability to sync watched progress on non-Plex media in my watch list. Anything on my watch list that is in my Plex local library syncs perfectly, but anything not in my library does not sync any watched status from Trakt.

I stumbled across a few issues reported that landed me here. I can see there is a Draft PR open and I just wanted to check-in to make sure I'm not doing something wrong and the feature is available or it's just not completed and in place as of yet.

Nobody is working on the feature.

The pr you found is stale, nobody who was interested of it, gave their feedback there (only code-review notes there), or feedback here, so apparently nobody even tried the pr.
