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.

I sync my watch history with trakt.tv -- I believe there are plugins for both Plex and Jellyfin which can transfer those watch histories via that service. I don't know of any other way.

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

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