CrossWatch

CrossWatch is a local synchronization engine and web UI that keeps media metadata consistent across media servers and tracker services. It syncs watchlists, history, ratings and provides live scrobbling and snapshots via an internal tracker for Movies and TV (seasons/episodes).

Key Features

• Sync watchlists, ratings and play history one- or two-way between media servers and trackers
• Live scrobble (real-time) from Plex/Jellyfin/Emby to trackers such as Trakt, SIMKL, MDBlist and AniList
• Internal CW Tracker that stores snapshots/backups of server and tracker state for recovery and auditing
• Multi-server and multi-tracker support in a single interface with flexible sync directions
• Scheduling support for headless or recurring runs and manual synchronizations from the web UI
• Analyzer and Editor tools to find mismatches, inspect and adjust items, export CSV reports, and review history and logs
• Watcher mode and webhooks for near realtime updates without server plugins

Use Cases

• Maintain a unified watchlist and consistent ratings across Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and external trackers
• Ensure play history and scrobbles are synchronized to a preferred tracker for cross-device viewing stats
• Create snapshots and recover or revive items that disappear from a media server using the internal tracker

Limitations and Considerations

• Focused on a single user/server context: multi-user or multi-server workflows are explicitly not supported
• Supports only Movies and TV (seasons/episodes); other media types are not covered
• Matching between providers can be imperfect; manual review with the Analyzer/Editor may be required for ambiguous items

CrossWatch is suited for users who run one or more personal media servers and want a single place to manage syncs, scrobbles and snapshots. It is designed for self-hosted/home setups and emphasizes configurability and recoverability.
