Export users to a fresh install - Jolaru21 - 2024-12-17

Hello! I want to fresh install all my jellyfin server, but I want to export ONLY the users, with all of their watch status...

Is it possible?

I'm using windows

Exporting your users is possible. Exporting their watch status is more complicated. You'd need to use Trakt to sync your watch status.

If you were to start over, all of the IDs that Jellyfin uses to track watch status will no longer be valid since Jellyfin would give the re-scanned content new IDs.

Ohh, understood, I'll test it

Thanks!

I've done this in the past:
Create a playlist of all watched items on the old server for each library. Then, import this playlist into the new server and mark every item in the playlist as watched.

It's a good idea, but coincidentally, the problem I want to start over with Jellyfin is because of the playlists. For some reason, on my server they don't work, when I create them, I scan the library, and they disappear. I already commented on this at the time in another post
