View on GitHubWatchlistarr
Sync plex watchlists in realtime with Sonarr and Radarr.
How it works
There are several ways of fetching watchlist information from Plex
| Method | Pros | Cons | Supported by Watchlistarr | Supported by Overseer/Ombi | Supported by Sonarr/Radarr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plex Watchlist RSS Feeds | Fast and instantly updated, can create one for self and one for friends | Will only show the most recent 50 movies/shows, currently broken | Yes | X | Only for self, refreshes every 6 hours |
| Plex Watchlist Metadata | Can fetch the full watchlist for the user | Need a plex token for each user who wants to have their watchlist synced, Plex token expires after a few months | Yes | Yes, up to ~20 min intervals | X |
| Plex Watchlist GraphQL Call | Can fetch the full watchlist for every friend of the main user | Slow, relies on main user providing a plex token | Yes | X | X |
| Plex Watchlist Metadata for other users | Can fetch the full watchlist for every user who provides a token | Difficult to ask every user to generate a Plex token, or log into a service | Yes | Yes, up to ~20 min intervals | X |
In order to fully integrate with Plex Watchlists, Watchlistarr uses a combination of multiple methods to ensure that it does a comprehensive, yet fast real-time sync.
Full Delete Sync
Watchlistarr also supports a full delete sync with your watchlist. This means that if a user removes an item off their watchlist, Watchlistarr can detect that and delete content from Sonarr/Radarr.
Note: This feature is disabled by default Whether you've enabled this or not, you can enjoy a little "sneak peek" upon startup of the app, where the logs will list the movies/tv shows that are out of sync.
Requirements
- Plex Pass Subscription (Recommended, otherwise see "Plex Pass Alternative" section below)
- Sonarr v3 or higher
- Radarr v3 or higher
- Friends' Watchlists Account Visibility must be changed to 'Friends Only' or 'Friends of Friends'
- Docker or Java v11 or higher (Recommended version JDK 21)
- Plex Token (see here)
Getting Started
See Configuration for steps on getting started and configuring Watchlistarr
Plex Pass Alternative
The Plex Pass subscription is required to generate the RSS Feed URLs. Without a Plex Pass, the normal API calls are too heavy-hitting on Plex's servers.
If the app detects that you are not a Plex Pass user (i.e. the app tries to generate an RSS URL, and it fails), it will fall back into a periodic sync.
The periodic sync will run every 19 minutes, ignoring the configuration for REFRESH_INTERVAL_SECONDS
All other settings will still be valid
