Copy watched status and progress between Jellyfin servers (Python Script) - Ozymandyaz - 2025-09-24
Hi All,
I am a long time Jellyfin user and one-time contributor to Jelly-Con... I recently wanted an easy way to migrate my watched status AND watched progress (partially watched percentage episodes/movies) from one instance to another without really any regard for other settings.
I tried Emby2Jelly (https://github.com/Marc-Vieg/Emby2Jelly) per the Wiki and it was VERY good, but it was old, slightly broken and did not included watched progress for an individual episode or movie.
I ended up modifying the script to do what I want, and it worked really well... I do NOT want to take credit as I just modified what Marc-Vieg did and added the more modern authentication stuff and had the script copy the entire contents of the UserData table for each item. The end result though is a nearly perfect sync of watched status, last watched date, watched progress, etc.. for each item and for each user... Sure it missed like three out of a few thousand, and I have no idea why... But it let me do a quick migration with pretty great results..
So... I'm curious if others want to do the same thing, and if so I'll update documentation a bit and make it public... But I am NOT a python dev, and I have no time to really improve or modify the script... But hey... Its free?
