Feature request: Multi-User Support

[JonzaUK]

Feature description

Use case

Ability to have multiple plex users to sync there watched status etc to trakt accounts... e.g:

Plex User 1 -> Sync to Trakt User 1
Plex User 2 -> Sync to Trakt User 2

I'm sure you get the idea.

Workarounds

Not that I'm aware... (currently using the old Trakt4Plex plugin within Plex - but been looking for an alternative since Plugins were deprecated (even though they still work for now)

Workarounds: Not that I'm aware...

Not sure if i understand correctly, but workaround is very simple: you setup multiple installations of plextraktsync.

@JonzaUK please clarify!

I believe they are asking for PlexTraktSync to support multiple user authentications (both on Trakt and Plex), and, perhaps, have different sync settings for each one of them.

But then workaround exists: run multiple PlexTraktSync installations (instances) with different configs

Yes, I know. And it's easier to set it up with Docker. But for people not using Docker, it would be much easier if PlexTraktSync supported this out-of-the-box. I'm just saying, I don't need multi-user support myself.

It's not about knowing or not, but feedback to the issue body "Workarounds: Not that I'm aware... " that's why I wanted to clarify with the issue author.

I think it's safe to assume that they aren't aware that they could just set up multiple instances of PlexTraktSync.

Hi Everyone,

Apologies, didn't even think about multiple instances... yes this would work for multiple users... not practical for my use, I have around x12 family members around 10x of which all have Trakt accounts... so setting up 10x instances is a bit of a pain though would work... I think just having Multiple user support built in is a more elegant solution, at the moment using the Plugin I just configure everyone user and trakt account in the one plugin... I would assume having multi-user support would be more resource friendly then running 10x docker instances.

Please explain the "pain", to me it's "pain" to maintain extra code to support extra functionality that can be easily be done outside this project.

[joggs]

Workarounds and pain to maintain code. Wow. sounds like a dying project

[glensc]

Closing and locking due to unwanted attitude.

You can use the environment variable PTS_CONFIG_DIR and change it before each run to use a specific folder for each user.
