Moving Server To New System With Different Username

[wenzelja]

Ah.  Ok.  I had assumed that all your data was in C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin, which wouldn't require this.

You will have to open jellyfin.db and library.db and find all instances of the old username and replace it.  When I migrated from a direct Linux install to a Docker install, this is one of the steps I had to take.

DB4S is the app I used to open and modify the DB files.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

I just had another thought which is so crazy it might just work - what if I just created a directory in C:\users\ ?
I could create \old_username\appdata\local\ and copy over the jellyfin folder there and keep all configs as they are...

That might be the cleanest way to do it; create user [old username] in your new Windows Server, copy your jellyfin files/folders from old computer into new computer under C:\users\[old username].
