Music migration from Plex to Jellyfin (lemmy.world)

Is there an easy way to migrate my Plex music library (including the star ratings) to a Jellyfin music library?

I have well over 10 000 tracks that have been meticulously curated and rated (for better playlist management) and from what I understand, those ratings are nowhere to be found in the actual file metadata.

Is there a way to port over these ratings to Jellyfin?

I simply cannot imagine starting from scratch all over again

Here is a script written for subsonic (navidrome) that a helpful redditor pointed me to a while back. Maybe Navidrome could be an alternative to jellyfin if ratings are important? I have not tested this myself as I have not put any effort into moving away from Plex as I had planned.

I ported the ratings over with a quick C# script I wrote. It takes in the XML that Plex returns when querying your favorites and then favorites them in Jellyfin if it can find them by name.

If there's any interest in this script just let me know. I wrote this a long time ago when I switched to Jellyfin so no idea if it still works.
