[Feature Request] Viability of watchlist integration

[jorenn92]

Is it viable to add watchlist integration now that shared watchlists is a thing?

[mrsdoubtfire613]

I'm interpreting this being able to find if a piece of media is in a/multiple watch lists and then create rules using this information (ie: delete an unwatched movie that's older than 60 days UNLESS it's currently in someone's watchlist and it hasn't been in the watchlist for >90 days). If we're talking about the same thing then I agree, this integration would be great.

[jorenn92]

Yes, i'd like to implement exactly that.. Initially, this was not feasible due to the watchlist being associated exclusively with the logged-in user's account. Maintainerr could only retrieve the watchlist of the admin account, as it was authenticated with that specific user.

There is a possibility that the situation has changed now. Plex has expanded the watchlist feature, allowing users to share their watchlist with others, and there may even be an option to make them public. It might now be feasible to utilize the watchlist of users who have made them public.

When configuring a rule I was exactly looking for that filter so yes, would be a great addition!

Even if only the admin account watchlist could be queried, I think it's still viable.

As an admin myself, a user/friend could request something I want to watch before I could request it, so I add it to my watchlist to remember to watch. It would be great if you could set a set rule as @mrsdoubtfire613 explained except just querying the admin account...:

(ie: delete an unwatched movie that's older than 60 days UNLESS it's currently in the admins watchlist and it hasn't been in the watchlist for >90 days)

I'm not too concerned if it's on another users watchlist.... they could request it again if they want to see it.

PR #1152 introduces an experimental watchlist rule utilizing the Plex community API.

As far as I can tell the API doesn't keep track of the date an item was added to the watchlist.

I have been playing around with this for about a month. I'm working on a project for adding items based on the watchlist. So far I am about to get the following with just the owner's token:

• The Server Owner's information
• The Server Owner's Friends ID's
• The Server Owner's Watchlist Items
• All of the Server Owner's Friends Watchlist Items
• Watchlist item details
• RSS URLs (plexpass only)

I haven't seen anything about dates added to the watchlist.

I am using plex's Graphql API mentioned above to interact with the watchlists, so the information should be there, and available in one query. However, since I have not been able to find any documentation for that API, I don't know how to get to it.

Finding documentation for the community API would be helpful. Have you found any documentation for it?

[jorenn92]

I’ve just implemented an experimental approach using the method from the project you linked. I haven't found any additional documentation either, but your code was extremely helpful. I don't think I would have been able to get it working this quickly without it. Thank you!

It still needs some testing, though. It works on my setup, but I'm sure someone else's unique server configuration might break it.
