I tried this but using two servers means you lose or fragment all your watch history. If I have to remember where I am in a series myself, I might as well just use VLC.

There is JellyPlexWatch, which will sync the databases between jellyfin and Plex. I've been using both next to each other for a while with that setup to sync watch history. Honestly I haven't been able to move over to Jellyfin after the drama around the integration of skip intro, but I hope things get better. https://github.com/luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched https://github.com/luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched

    A project to integrate additional "media segments" to identify introductions and end credits for auto-skipping. There was something that worked, going forward the core team decided to focus on a tight stream lined core and decruft 'features'.

      This isn't that important a feature most of the time, because you can just press the skip-ahead button and skip the next 30 seconds. You might see some of the intro, but big deal There is one big exception though: if you're watching Star Trek: Enterprise. The "skip intro" feature is invaluable so you don't have to be subjected to that truly horrific opening song.
