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.

Not the answer to your question but thanks for the reminder to cancel

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think jellyfin offers remote access to your media

It does, just not thorugh their servers like Plex does.

The entire point of jellyfin is being able to remotely access media (with an good interface and functionality). What do you mean by remote access?

As in watch the media not on my own network or have other users do the same from their homes.

Music is another big one that jellyfin can't compete with Plex with in its current state. I currently have 718 GB of music that I stream with plexamp when I'm driving.

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