Here’s why I still use Plex: for me Jellyfin hasn’t been easy to work the way I want it to. I mostly access my media on an Nvidia Shield, and the Jellyfin Android TV app just refuses to play certain videos; I can play them if I use VLC as an external player, but not within the app itself. The more pressing issue is that Jellyfin just refuses to play 5.1 audio, and downmixes everything to stereo. I have other issues, but these are the ones that prevent me from using it.

For me Plex just works.

I’ve had a lifetime pass for years, but have considered making the switch several times. So far I’ve held back because, and correct me if I’m wrong, there are tools to transfer watch state, but not ratings, and while there’s a plugin for dynamic collections, it’s based on tags, so you can’t just have a collection based on something like rating. My library also contains “custom” shows where there’s no match for it online, so I’ve manually assigned it some details.

I tried this a while back, and it couldn’t correctly identify anything. Presumably this will improve once they get IGDB implementation done.

I’ve never had a problem with how Sonarr handles anime. It works just as well as anything else.

Host it exclusively to her user or don’t host it at all. If you’re not going to host it, you know your mother better than any of us, so you’ll know which approach would work better.

It’s the person’s mother, and they already accepted the request. I feel like giving her a price quote is a huge jackass move.

As far as filtering your feed goes, RSS-Bridge is your best friend. Interacting with your feed can then be done through dedicated apps, both on mobile and desktop, if you prefer that to the native interface.

I use FreshRSS in combination with FiveFilters and RSS-Bridge to get full articles, instead of just snippets, and filter out content I already know I have no interest in.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but I can recommend Audiobookshelf.
