Plex Metadata Changes | Watch History | RequestsMedia Server Status

Hello everyone,

Following the recent metadata agent migration to the newer standard Plex uses may have caused some of your watch history and progress to be either lost or out of sync with where you may remember it being last. An unfortunate side affect to the migration but a small price to pay in the end.

It’s not that an attempt wasn’t made to bring through the existing watch history which is still archived and available to me; several attempts were made, in the end unsuccessful nonetheless. Given the sheer volume of data in the SQLite database Plex uses to manage everything is quite a cumbersome file to say the least. Some losses are inevitable but still you have my apologies.

During the above migration, at some point, the requests system became very confused with the changes occurring en mass with regards to metadata for all the media it index from Jellyfin and Plex respectively.

As such, the super convenient buttons in the requests page that, once your media is added to the server successfully, provides a link directly to the media server page to view the request depending on your account, the choices being a Jellyfin account or a Plex account.

This has been rectified and the sync state has been rebuilt to once again accurately link to requested media.

That’ll be all for now.
