Topic per title, basically.
For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc
IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.
Eh, I think it depends.
In terms of display and content management, even how the client apps work, I’d say Jellyfin is far, far ahead.
Plex’s only advantage (to me) would be remote access, and even then I’d say its just how accounts are handled. Which is only good when Plex auth is working properly, and an absolutely awful experience when its not.
I like having SSO in front of JF, I think its a much better experience. Now I just need to figure out how to get my kids to use SSO without a device… Which I’m leaning toward an NFC reader and a tag for each of them, maybe in a toy or something they can tap to a reader. TBD.
Yubikeys work great for me for 2FA or passwordless auth. NFC and USB interfaces. Very secure. Pretty durable, though USB-C is inherently less durable due to the size and complexity than the USB-A footprint. But I’ve never had an issue with mine in my pocket or purse right with my keys. But if you bend it while it’s inserted in something it can be an issue.
One is pre-k and the other is elementary school aged, so I think even a yubikey is going to be too much 😄
But I’ve been thinking NFC because I have a bag full of tags I can use, I’d just need a reader there
