Export user data - Nast - 2024-01-10
Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to export user data (seen, unseen, positioning in a series, etc.).
Thank you.

Depends on what you need. A lot of people use Trakt, which we have a plugin for, to sync their watch status externally. If you are migrating to a new host, you can simply copy the databases and move them to the new host. But you have to ensure that on the new server your media is located in exactly the same place.

Sorry, I forgot to mention several things:
My Jellyfin is currently running using the .exe application, and soon I'll be switching to the Docker image.
I tried copying all the files and putting them back, but it didn't work... or at least I couldn't manage to do it.

In that case, I think using Trakt is probably the best option.
Check out the discussion about Trakt in this post.

And do you know a way to transfer all the data? (metadata, user data, configuration, etc.) considering that I'll keep the same architecture for my library, just moving from the directory D:\Films to /media/Films.

There is an unofficial (written by a 3rd party) migration script.

I've never tried it, but I see the occasional user report success using it in the Jellyfin chatroom.

Thank you very much. I currently have a test machine, and I'll try this out. I'll post updates on this thread once the tests are done.
