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.

Thing is, Plex turns out to be less and less of a good thing with each passing day. Bloat, spying, removal of features, price hikes etc.

If you want to pay for software that is good, there’s always Emby.

Already paid for Plex and it works. Im not in favor of every change they've made, but it's still damn solid and takes money to run.

The point being these whiners aren't going to run off and support FOSS/alternatives... Just leech.

Yeah but you could pay for Emby and not deal with all the bloat and removed features and such. Or use Jellyfin for free and have the same experience. Plex’s value proposition is shrinking by the day.
