Emby2Jelly VS jellyfin-mpv-shim

Here is a link to a script that uses the Jellyfin API to migrate users and watched status from one instance of Jellyfin to another. It was linked to in the migration steps of the Jellyfin documentation. Hope this helps!

I have used this script to do some of that: https://github.com/CobayeGunther/Emby2Jelly

Try using Emby2Jelly.

This script still works, last I checked.

I remember this tool, hasn't been updated in over a year and I doubt it still works.

You can use https://github.com/CobayeGunther/Emby2Jelly. I've used it to copy over watch data between two servers a few different times. If you go that route you still need to set up other config settings manually, plus the new server needs to have all of your libraries fully scanned and all of the metadata imported.

With the database changes, is there a new way to migrate my users with their watched histories from Emby to Jellyfin? I used to use this: https://github.com/CobayeGunther/Emby2Jelly

You could try Jellyfin-MPV-Shim but it’s not much of a UI and I don’t know if the playback will be any different from Jellyfin Media Player. Same thing about playback goes for JellyPlayer.

You mean something better than Jellyfin Media Player? It works pretty great for me on my Mac. Some people like Jellyfin-MPV-Shim but I don’t think it’s much of a UI.

As others have said, MPV Shim is another option on PC that also uses the same player as JMP. It has more options too that you use for the player like enabling shaders, video aspect ratio changes, volume gain changes, and so forth. Though it works as a hidden player that only appears when you cast to it.

Support IPv6 addressing with a protocol prefix (#306)

Fix endless video skipping with auto profiles. (#323)

I'm wondering if there is a bug in the Jellyfin server that is causing remote control connections to get lost. I had to put some really aggressive self-healing logic into MPV Shim to get it to stay connected reliably. This doesn't exist in web so JMP may suffer these reliability issues.

I use Jellyfin MPV Shim with uosc and thumbfast.
