Depends on the application really. For example, I don’t need to update Jellyfin and the arrs as soon as the new updates drop. They work just fine and I’m not waiting for any particular fixes.

Between Tube Archivist (TA) and Pinchflat (PF), it seems TA is a better choice (because you want to delete the downloaded videos). TA has a built-in interface to watch and delete the video. But if you are like me, who watches the videos in Jellyfin and don’t plan to delete them afterwards, then PF is a solid archival application.

Maybe you could try Pinchflat. I haven’t yet tried it though I do plan to do it some time soon.

I suppose you are using the plugin at https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf-plugin. Very rarely I had the same problem. But if I ignore it, the data sometimes fixes itself after another update. If not, you could try the manual trigger. Frankly I have no idea why it fails sometimes.

Does PF have a browser extension? TA has it, which makes it simple to download videos on demand.

Omg, my previous company did the same. But you missed a part. If you accidentally left out a real email, thinking it’s a scam, then the client will file a complaint.

Thanks so much for the advice. Easy of use is a major concern for family members, however. My plan is to open the web page on a tablet and put it in the living room then the family doesn’t need to use a phone. I’ll look into both options.

Nice, this looks promising. I’ll try it out.

Sorry for a noobie question. But when people say using SSO for internal apps, does it mean we only need to log in once and then the various apps won’t need us logging in again? And then the browser can stay connected for however long we want it to be?

This may sound pessimistic, but try to compare yourself with people who live worse than you.

Flox, MediaTracker and Movary. Didn’t try any of those.

My advice is to make sure you have plenty of RAM. You won’t just install Plex. You probably want your NAS to download and manage the videos and all those applications take up extra RAM.

I’m a newbie in self-hosting and Tailscale is super powerful for me. Everything at home is accessible on my phone, mainly music server and radarr/sonarr for watching show on the go. No need for subdomain or reverse proxy.
