I have a lot of custom artwork, covers, playlists, etc. How easy did that data migrate? I've got 6,500 movies

I can't imagine moving over would be difficult. Just point Jellyfin to the same folder containing your content. When I first setup my home lab, I was going to use Plex, but I could not get it to recognize media. The naming format wasn't right or something. Jellyfin just worked immediately

man, I've manually setup tons of huge playlists, and entered in a hell of a lot of TV show information by hand so episodes play in an order I like. Getting that working in plex probably constitutes days of work. I don't want to even think about re-doing that in jelly fin. If there were a way to automate the process though, I'd probably be more interested.
