Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.

I've had a lifetime pass for years, but have considered making the switch several times. So far I've held back because, and correct me if I'm wrong, there are tools to transfer watch state, but not ratings, and while there's a plugin for dynamic collections, it's based on tags, so you can't just have a collection based on something like rating. My library also contains "custom" shows where there's no match for it online, so I've manually assigned it some details.
