Description

I've read the documentation.

Your Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using Plex to watch TA content, you must manually mark videos as watched to use TA features such as auto-delete.

Describe the solution you'd like

When a video is watched on Plex, the watch status should be updated in TA to match. In Plex, the watched status can be set by watching a video or using the mark as watched or as unwatched menu options. This change would allow you to use TA with the Plex plugin like the other media collection managers.

Additional context

If real-time syncing isn't an option, then a scheduled job would be an acceptable solution.

Your help is needed!

  • Yes, I will work on this in the next few days or weeks.
