Migrate to another Library Path without loosing user Favorites & watched status - exaveal - 2025-05-19

I need to change the storage path for all libraries.
When I do this, my favorites and seen status for all users is gone.

The migration script Emb2Jelly https://github.com/Marc-Vieg/Emby2Jelly does not work anymore for current jellyfin version 10.10.7.
It stops with this error

Code:
getting jelly DB for alex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/wolf/downloads/Emby2Jelly-master/APImain.py", line 500, in <module>
    jelly(newUser_pw)
  File "/home/wolf/downloads/Emby2Jelly-master/APImain.py", line 421, in jelly
    iterateMigrationData()
  File "/home/wolf/downloads/Emby2Jelly-master/APImain.py", line 363, in iterateMigrationData
    MigrationMedia['JellyId'] = search_byName(MigrationMedia,Library)
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/wolf/downloads/Emby2Jelly-master/APImain.py", line 335, in search_byName
    if  jelly_movie['Name'] == MigrationMedia['Name']:
        ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'Name'

Is there any current step-by-step how to to migrate to another server including storage path changes?
Only storage path changes would be enough. The Server migration is not the problem - it's just the missing feature to change library paths without missing all personalized user data & metadata

These are the only migration paths I know of: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/migrate/
