I received error
Error retrieving Tautulli history: SQL not enabled for the API.
any ideas on how to enable it

Indeed. This is not working:

Jupiter:./update_all_metadata.py 
Not dry run. Creating a backup of the Tautulli database.
Retrieving all history items from the Tautulli database...
Error retrieving Tautulli history: SQL not enabled for the API.
Exiting script...
Done.
Jupiter:grep api_sql config.ini 
api_sql = 1
Jupiter:

Note: Updated my Docker container for Tautulli to V2.7.5, re-ran the script and it worked. Lots of improvement could go into this script.

Anyway, initially, this didn't work for me until I updated the Docker container for Tautulli. Then it supposedly worked but if I go to the Tautulli web page and look under libraries I see no changes. Many of the libraries say there's nothing there like under the column Total Episodes/Tracks. For example, my Movies library, which has some 7000 movies, lists that there are none.

Note I'm on Synology DSM 7.x. Suddenly my Plex database got corrupted. I tried to repair it several ways but none worked. I had to eventually delete the database and have Plex recreate it. That's when I noticed that Tautulli was messed up too. This didn't fix it.

Thanks for this. Very easy to set up. My server died for no reason and had to make a new one.

I have a handful of unsupported guid. But cannot figure out why.

I am getting this when it gets to communicating with Plex. I have 4 Movie Libraries and it appears to fail on the first one. I am trying to merge libraries in Tautulli after I had a failure on Plex and had to reinstall. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Worked like a charm, thanks for the script!

I had removed some media in-between shutting down my old Plex server and spinning up a new one. So when I went to merge the libraries with this script it would hang. So I added a print command to see what it was hanging on so I could manually fix it in Tautulli.

Added on line 154:
`for id, (old_rating_key, old_type, title, year) in old_key_map.items():
new_rating_key, new_type, _, _ = new_key_map.get(id, (None, None, None, None))
new_year = None
warning_year = False

    print("\t{title} is NEXT!".format(
                  title=title))`
