I use Plex for watching stuff. My *arr stack is set up to send new movies/tv eps to libraries on an SSD.

Every couple of days I manually move anything watched to a library on an HDD for long term storage. I have Plex set up so that the TV and Movies libraries combine the two locations.

I think you can get a list of watched stuff from the Plex API. I could probably write a script to automate the workflow but if there’s a tool out there that already does this there’s no point in reinventing the wheel.

Anyone seen or heard of anything that would do the job?

    Just a thought, but you might be able to do this easier by looking at atime and mtime rather than fiddling with the API.

      Good idea. Definately easier but getting a list of watched files from the API might be more efficient.
