Plex Sync

This app lets you sync a large plex library to a smaller backup plex server. It does this by downconverting the video files to 720p and then copying as many files as possible in random order to the backup server, given an explicit size constraint. It will also sync the play status and position of the videos.

My use for this is to run a portable plex server on a raspberry pi that I can bring in my car to have a large portable library for road trips.

Usage:

plex-go-sync command [command options]

Example usage:

./plex-go-sync clone -c ./configs.json

Commands:
