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.

    Tailscale doesn’t require any ports open, or using a web browser with a container, it’s just a VPN which is a good way of doing it.

    Or you can just open it up with a reverse proxy like any other web server, but I prefer not to do that.

      I get that it may be technically possible but that is leaps and bounds different than having my senior dad make a Plex account on his fire stick so he can watch movies with his niece, or my fiance’s boss is in the hospital with cancer right now and is watching things on his iPad.

      I already have a hard time getting people to just make a Plex account and watch on my server and that’s the “easy” route.

        Yeah I don’t bother with other people on my server unless they really want to, I’ve long ago given up trying to convince anyone to change their ways, it’s up to them.
