Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

    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.

      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 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.
