Sync watched status

Is there just an option I'm missing, or a way to run some SQL on the database to sync the watched status field? I only have one server with three users.

The post asks whether there is a built-in option or a SQL-based method to synchronize the watched_status field in the Jellyfin database. The user mentions having a single server with three users and is seeking a way to ensure the watched status is consistent across their setup. No further specifics about the database schema or exact synchronization goals are provided.

Key points:

The user is looking for a practical method to sync watched status.
They consider both a direct option in the UI and a SQL approach.
They have one Jellyfin server with three user profiles.

Potential approaches (summarized, without adding new facts):

Check for UI features or plugins that support bulk or cross-user synchronization.
Examine database structure to identify the watched status fields and how they’re linked to users.
Consider creating a script to update the watched status per user, ensuring referential integrity.
Backup the database before making any direct SQL changes.
If access to cookies or similar notices is irrelevant here, no blocking phrase needed.

Author’s summary: This inquiry seeks a straightforward method to synchronize the watched status across users, asking whether a UI option exists or if a SQL-based fix can be safely applied on a single-server, multi-user Jellyfin setup.
