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.

How have they doubled their prices?

HDD manufacturers have been increasing their prices as of late for the same products that were previously cheaper

Nope. Most recent delta is a decrease of $0.0000022 per MB. And the general trend has been decreasing for decades.

my users can watch on their mobile devices for free using a license I paid for once close to a decade ago.

You sound like a boomer talking about the house they bought decades ago for $75,000.

I had not seen that about the Plex Pass doubling.

Yep the most recent delta shows the price of the Seagate drive increasing over what it was in early 2024 and 2023. I can attest to this personally as I've been buying at least one 8-14TB drive each year since 2018 and back then I could get new 8TB drives at $105 but now WD wants $176 for the same 8TB Easystore. Your link shows multiple different options each quarter which is an apples to oranges comparison.

Oh really when the license is still the same exact $120 price a decade later? Have you ever heard of inflation? Apparently not as you talk about how things used to be cheaper while not even realizing that this $120 license should cost $162 if they had kept up with inflation, but please keep telling us about how you used to wear an onion on your belt back when prices were cheaper as you call others "boomers."
