Feature Request: Support Multiple Plex Profiles (including Managed Accounts) in a Single Watcharr User #871

Hi! First, thanks for your work on Watcharr — it’s a fantastic project.

I’d love to see support for syncing multiple Plex profiles within a single Watcharr user account.


🧩 Context & Use Case

At home, we use three Plex profiles:

  • Thomas (my personal profile)
  • David (my partner’s profile — a Plex Managed Account)
  • Nous (our shared profile — also a Plex Managed Account)

Each profile has its own Trakt account (Thomas, David, and Nous). Currently, we sync everything using Plex-Trakt-Sync:

  • Thomas → Thomas's Trakt
  • David → David's Trakt
  • Nous → both Trakt accounts (Thomas + David)

But with Watcharr, I'm limited:

  • I can only link one Plex profile to a Watcharr user
  • I cannot link the Plex Managed Accounts (David or Nous)
  • I cannot sync the shared profile (“Nous”) to both Watcharr accounts

What I’d love to see

  1. Support for linking multiple Plex profiles to a single Watcharr user
    Ideally, each profile would be treated as a separate source, and you could select which ones to sync.

  2. Support for Plex Managed Accounts
    So that both “David” and “Nous” can be used like normal Plex profiles.

  3. Multi-account sync for shared profiles
    Allow a single Plex profile (like "Nous") to sync its watch data to multiple Watcharr users.

  4. (Bonus) Fine-tuned sync settings
    If two-way sync is ever implemented, the ability to choose what syncs (ratings, watched status, etc.) per profile would be amazing.


💡 Why this matters

We’re trying to move away from Trakt (and their VIP restrictions), and Watcharr is the best option out there. Supporting more flexible household setups would really unlock its full potential.

Thanks again 🙌
