Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.

    Just buy the lifetime Plex Pass before the price hike and you’re golden.

      I thought about it, but remote access is just something I use so rarely that it doesn’t seem worth the cost to me.

      Also I really distrust anything ‘lifetime’, historically those don’t work out very well on most services.

        Yeah, at this point they just think we are stupid as, as if they were taking a huge toll with the bandwidth by capping the remote playback option… They are not hosting the files ffs.

        I don’t agree. They’re only affecting people who haven’t been paying and it’s an excellent service. They’re even giving you a heads up so you’re not caught offgaurd. It’s not even 9 months of Netflix and it’s valid for lifetime. If you can’t afford it, that’s one thing. If that’s the case move to JF and move on. I find Plex is very much worth the cost.

      These whiny people should stay with Plex if only to save FOSS devs the headache of dealing with them. They aren’t going to support them either.
