Plex Tokens

[JacquelineHyde]

What is the difference between these token settings in the .env file? I'm getting other people's stuff synced to my Trakt account.

PLEX_TOKEN=
PLEX_OWNER_TOKEN=
PLEX_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=

PLEX_TOKEN
The token granting user access to the chosen PMS. For the PMS admin, it is the same token to access PMS and also the user's Plex online account.
For a user who don't own the PMS, it gives only access to PMS libraries.

PLEX_OWNER_TOKEN
The token of the PMS administrator/owner. This is stored/used only for managed users (home users) so the script can get their watchlist from Plex online servers. Managed users don't have a Plex account, they're local users.

PLEX_ACCOUNT_TOKEN
The account token of the Plex user who have a Plex account but don't own the PMS (use it as shared library). This is stored/used only if user uses a shared PMS. Needed to fetch its watchlist from Plex online servers.

So to sync a managed user, what do you do? I'm guessing from this explanation you only need the PLEX_OWNER_TOKEN filled in along with the managed user's profile name and the server name, yes? I think I'm on version 0.27.11, I just pulled latest on the docker pull.

The script will automatically fetch and save needed tokens during setup.
You don't need to manage them.
To start setup from scratch, you can remove the 3 files where tokens are stored :
servers.yml
.env
.pytrakt.json (for trakt tokens)

I’m going to link to my other discussion here because I’ve offered more info there. In short: I ran into a bug where after I selected my server, the script crashes saying that the server did not exist. Then once I ran plextraktsync again, it ran fine but never asked me to choose a user.

Also, I just realized I didn’t give you specs:
Synology DSM 7.2
plextraktsync in a Docker container
Plex (beta PMS) is running inside DSM, and is not currently in a Docker container
