How to migrate watch progress?

[askejm]

I am moving my Jellyfin setup from my PC to my server (docker). I have already migrated the users through the jellyfin.db database, now I just need to migrate the watch progress. 
What is the best way to approach this? Thanks

Two options I have used:
1. Trakt plugin 
2. Created a playlist of watched items. On the new server import that playlist and then mark everything on the playlist as watched.

I tried installing Trakt now. The export seems to work, but when I go to import on my server, it goes straight from 0% to done in a heartbeat, as if it isn't loading anything. When I go to check, the progress isn't imported.
Does the second option support episode and movie progress? Or is it only watched or not?

For the second option, you'll lose progress. It's only watched or not.

I see. I would very much like to keep the progress. Do you know what could be the problem in trakt.tv? I tried running it again a few times and it seems that it has transferred the watched status, but not the video progress itself.
Also, does this only work for one account? I tried checking another account and I don't see any transferred status
Alternatively, could there be a .db file with the episode progress somewhere that I could move over?

The Track plugin keeps track of progress and watch status for each user individually. You'll need to set it up separately for each user.

Jeez that's gonna suck. Isn't it possible to manually move the database? Where is the progress stored?

[theguymadmax]

Yeah, that's why I did the Trak plugin for my profile and the playlist solution for other users. They lost progress on current shows, which seems like a small price to pay. Maybe someone else knows a better solution.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to move the database. It seems there is a table called "playbackPositionTicks" where the progress is stored. I'll have to see if this is possible

The database expects the paths to be the same on the new install.

Any reason why you're not carrying over the entire config folder? That would carry over all your watched and currently watching statuses.
