You can even give the link for the *arr apps so your SO can add all the movies, tv shows and music they want. I saved them on her phone, in Firefox it’s add to home screen. Chrome should be similar. Probably best to make it only accessible via LAN unless you have a good reason to need it outside of your home.
I didn’t know about those, I mainly use nzb360 on android to do the whole requesting and such.
I got prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, homeassistant, archies steam farm, actual budget and bitwarden all hosted on my server. And organizr to have a nice homepage for it all.
I use the nzb360 app for android which makes it very user friendly. She wouldn’t dabble with the ui’s and is the kind of person to use her phone for everything and doesn’t want to use pc’s.
I downloaded that to give it a try. Even as the person that set everything up, I’m really liking having everything in one app, and the popular now page reminds me of rarbg ☹️ helping to find new stuff to watch.
Yeah, I stopped browsing trakt and imdb and just rely on that app for discovery. (And requests from the gf). It made my “managing” work a lot lighter and more fun.
Been using Plex for years as bought the Plex lifetime deal when it was on offer many many moons ago. Is jellyfin any better? (My biggest concern with Plex is that they have a list of all my content I believe so not happy about that).
Should add use a nvidia shield with an external hard drive with all the content on it and stream to other android devices (fire sticks).

I have the *arr apps running on my homeserver, i manage the backend but everything gets neatly dropped in jellyfin.
Gf is not tech savvy, is very happy about our “homemade netflix”, reverse proxied it so she can watch at work too.

Do you include Jellyseerr in your definition of *arr apps, because it’s more of an *err or even *rr.
But Jellyseerr/Overseerr are the main apps I would give someone non tech savvy to be able to add their own media.
I find a key part is setting up notifications so that they know when a request is available.
I’m not using either of those. I just showed the family how to search and add in sonarr/radarr and lidarr.

Even better, run overseerr and put it behind a reverse proxy.

I chose jellyfin because it was opensource, looked better imho and was free.
I’d say stick to whatever works the best, plex with lifetime is a solid option that does it all.
Jellyfin is not as good as basic Plex.
It’s better since it supports hardware transcoding and seperate user profiles including age ratings.
With the lifetime pass I’d say Plex is better, but without it there’s too many missing features.
a very concise answer there… well done.
