Migration Guide
Migrate to milmil from other anime media servers.
milmil does not have automated migration tools yet. The guides below describe what can be manually transferred and what requires re-setup.
Migrating from Jellyfin
What transfers
- Media files — Point milmil at the same media directory. No need to move files.
- File organization — milmil supports the same folder-per-show structure.
What needs re-setup
- Metadata — milmil uses different metadata providers (Bangumi, AniList, DandanPlay instead of TheTVDB/TMDb). All metadata will be re-matched during the first scan.
- Watch progress — Not transferable. Start fresh or manually mark watched episodes.
- User accounts — Create new accounts in milmil.
milmil's metadata matching is optimized for anime specifically. Shows that were difficult to match in Jellyfin may match more accurately in milmil due to anime-specific providers like DandanPlay and Bangumi.
Steps
Install milmil alongside Jellyfin (they can coexist).
Point milmil at the same media directory Jellyfin uses.
Run a full library scan in milmil.
Verify metadata matches, manually correct any mismatches.
Connect Bangumi/AniList if you want collection sync.
