# Description:  Sync user playlists of recommended items to all users.
# Author:       /u/spuniun
# Requires:     plexapi, requests, xmltodict
# Usage:        Any user playlist named "<plex username> Recommends" will be synced to all
#               other users on that Plex server.
# Thanks:       Based entirely off of SwiftPanda16's sync_playlists_to_users.py
#               https://gist.github.com/JonnyWong16/2607abf0e3431b6f133861bbe1bb694e
#               and pbrink231's plex_top_playlists
#               https://github.com/pbrink231/plex_top_playlists
#               from which this was cobbled together.
