Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Can it import my Plex settings, categorized titles, and watched lists for all my users? And whatever other things I’m not thinking of…

It’s on my radar, but I have a lot of data, custom images, etc. it would need to be 1:1

Good to know. Thanks. I’m definitely looking for alternatives these days. Even though I’m self hosting Plex, I don’t trust it can work without their cloud and they will probably cut it off or limit it at some point.

It's possible, but a project.
This is a good set of instructions on how to do it.
