What you can build with WatchState
WatchState is an open-source tool specifically designed for households that operate more than one media server. Instead of relying on services like Trakt or other third-party platforms, it directly communicates with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby APIs to ensure play states, resume positions, and watch history remain consistent across every backend you connect.
Self-hosting WatchState on your own Virtual Private Server (VPS) ensures that your account tokens, viewing data, and all webhook traffic stay entirely under your control. The container provides a web user interface (UI) for adding backends, supports both many-to-many or one-way synchronization, and integrates scheduled imports with real-time webhook events, so that changes propagate within mere seconds.
Key features of WatchState
Multi-backend sync
Synchronize watch state many-to-many or one-way across Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby servers from a single dashboard.
Webhook-driven updates
Receive play, pause, and scrobble events directly from each backend so watch history propagates within seconds instead of waiting for a scan.
Multi-user identities
Map several users across different servers to shared identities and keep every family member in sync without crossing histories.
Portable backups
Export the full play state of every backend into a portable format you can restore later or migrate to a different server.
Library parity checks
Detect unmatched, mismatched, or stale entries and surface differences between backends so you can fix metadata before they cause sync conflicts.

Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
