Sync plexapi.sync

You can work with Mobile Sync on other devices straight away, but if you’d like to use your app as a sync-target (when you can set items to be synced to your app) you need to init some variables.

def init_sync():
    import plexapi
    plexapi.X_PLEX_PROVIDES = 'sync-target'
    plexapi.BASE_HEADERS['X-Plex-Sync-Version'] = '2'
    plexapi.BASE_HEADERS['X-Plex-Provides'] = plexapi.X_PLEX_PROVIDES

    # mimic iPhone SE
    plexapi.X_PLEX_PLATFORM = 'iOS'
    plexapi.X_PLEX_PLATFORM_VERSION = '11.4.1'
    plexapi.X_PLEX_DEVICE = 'iPhone'

    plexapi.BASE_HEADERS['X-Plex-Platform'] = plexapi.X_PLEX_PLATFORM
    plexapi.BASE_HEADERS['X-Plex-Platform-Version'] = plexapi.X_PLEX_PLATFORM_VERSION
    plexapi.BASE_HEADERS['X-Plex-Device'] = plexapi.X_PLEX_DEVICE

You have to fake platform/device/model because transcoding profiles are hardcoded in Plex, and you obviously have to explicitly specify that your app supports sync-target.

class plexapi.sync.SyncItem(server, data, initpath=None, clientIdentifier=None)[source]

Bases: PlexObject

Represents single sync item, for specified server and client. When you saying in the UI to sync “this” to “that” you’re basically creating a sync item.

Variables:
  • id (int) – unique id of the item.

  • clientIdentifier (str) – an identifier of Plex Client device, to which the item is belongs.

  • machineIdentifier (str) – the id of server which holds all this content.

  • version (int) – current version of the item. Each time you modify the item (e.g. by changing amount if media to sync) the new version is created.

  • rootTitle (str) –

    the title of library/media from which the sync item was created. E.g.:

    • when you create an item for an episode 3 of season 3 of show Example, the value would be Title of Episode 3

    • when you create an item for a season 3 of show Example, the value would be Season 3

    • when you set to sync all your movies in library named “My Movies” to value would be My Movies.

  • title (str) – the title which you’ve set when created the sync item.

  • metadataType (str) – the type of media which hides inside, can be episode, movie, etc.

  • contentType (str) – basic type of the content: video or audio.

  • status (Status) – current status of the sync.

  • mediaSettings (MediaSettings) – media transcoding settings used for the item.

  • policy (Policy) – the policy of which media to sync.

  • location (str) – plex-style library url with all required filters / sorting.

server()[source]

Returns MyPlexResource with server of current item.

getMedia()[source]

Returns list of Playable which belong to this sync item.

markDownloaded(media)[source]

Mark the file as downloaded (by the nature of Plex it will be marked as downloaded within any SyncItem where it presented).

Parameters:

media (base.Playable) – the media to be marked as downloaded.

delete()[source]

Removes current SyncItem

class plexapi.sync.SyncList(server, data, initpath=None, parent=None)[source]

Bases: PlexObject

Represents a Mobile Sync state, specific for single client, within one SyncList may be presented items from different servers.

Variables:
  • clientId (str) – an identifier of the client.

  • items (List<SyncItem>) – list of registered items to sync.

class plexapi.sync.Status(itemsCount, itemsCompleteCount, state, totalSize, itemsDownloadedCount, itemsReadyCount, itemsSuccessfulCount, failureCode, failure)[source]

Bases: object

Represents a current status of specific SyncItem.

Variables:
  • failureCode – unknown, never got one yet.

  • failure – unknown.

  • state (str) – server-side status of the item, can be completed, pending, empty, and probably something else.

  • itemsCount (int) – total items count.

  • itemsCompleteCount (int) – count of transcoded and/or downloaded items.

  • itemsDownloadedCount (int) – count of downloaded items.

  • itemsReadyCount (int) – count of transcoded items, which can be downloaded.

  • totalSize (int) – total size in bytes of complete items.

  • itemsSuccessfulCount (int) – unknown, in my experience it always was equal to itemsCompleteCount.

class plexapi.sync.MediaSettings(maxVideoBitrate=4000, videoQuality=100, videoResolution='1280x720', audioBoost=100, musicBitrate=192, photoQuality=74, photoResolution='1920x1080', subtitleSize=100)[source]

Bases: object

Transcoding settings used for all media within SyncItem.

Variables:
  • audioBoost (int) – unknown.

  • maxVideoBitrate (int|str) – maximum bitrate for video, may be empty string.

  • musicBitrate (int|str) – maximum bitrate for music, may be an empty string.

  • photoQuality (int) – photo quality on scale 0 to 100.

  • photoResolution (str) – maximum photo resolution, formatted as WxH (e.g. 1920x1080).

  • videoResolution (str) – maximum video resolution, formatted as WxH (e.g. 1280x720, may be empty).

  • subtitleSize (int) – subtitle size on scale 0 to 100.

  • videoQuality (int) – video quality on scale 0 to 100.

static createVideo(videoQuality)[source]

Returns a MediaSettings object, based on provided video quality value.

Parameters:

videoQuality (int) – idx of quality of the video, one of VIDEO_QUALITY_* values defined in this module.

Raises:

BadRequest – When provided unknown video quality.

static createMusic(bitrate)[source]

Returns a MediaSettings object, based on provided music quality value

Parameters:

bitrate (int) – maximum bitrate for synchronized music, better use one of MUSIC_BITRATE_* values from the module

static createPhoto(resolution)[source]

Returns a MediaSettings object, based on provided photo quality value.

Parameters:

resolution (str) – maximum allowed resolution for synchronized photos, see PHOTO_QUALITY_* values in the module.

Raises:

BadRequest – When provided unknown video quality.

class plexapi.sync.Policy(scope, unwatched, value=0)[source]

Bases: object

Policy of syncing the media (how many items to sync and process watched media or not).

Variables:

  • value (int) – amount of media to sync, valid only when scope=count.

  • unwatched (bool) – True means disallow to sync watched media.

static create(limit=None, unwatched=False)[source]

Parameters:
  • limit (int) – limit items by count.

  • unwatched (bool) – if True then watched items wouldn’t be synced.
