WatchState is a self-hosted PHP service that synchronizes watch/play state between Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media servers without third-party services. It supports multi-user identities, webhook ingestion, portable backups, and media metadata health auditing.

Use cases

  • sync watch progress between plex and jellyfin
  • keep emby and plex play state in sync
  • backup my media server watch history
  • sync watched status across multiple media servers without trakt
  • receive webhooks from plex to update other backends
  • find mismatched or misidentified media across backends
  • multi-user watch state sync for family accounts

When to choose

  • you run multiple media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby) and want their play states consistent
  • you want sync without relying on external services like Trakt
  • you need portable backups of watch state
  • you want to audit metadata/GUID issues across backends

When to avoid

  • you only use a single media server
  • you need cloud-based or third-party sync services
  • you don't want to self-host a Docker service
