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?

    What’s the benefit here? Regular HDDs have more than enough speed for watching movies/series, why not store directly in the “library”?

      The speed difference is noticeable but there are a few quirks in my networking that I have to live with.
