I wanted to download and watch YouTube videos. The YouTube app on the Roku is not great and I had all kinds of issues with trying to use the YouTube app on my phone. I was trying to use Plex and it was really clumsy for handling things like this. I'm trying to have something on while exercising so I want to hit as few buttons as possible.

Gemini recommended Jellyfin specifically for this situation and coded me something that deletes the videos once they've been watched in Jellyfin. Before I was manually deleting videos I'd watched.

I bought Plex Pass a long time ago and it continues to work great for serving up movies but it was really bad with the YouTube videos. I have some home movies that I'm going to try with Jellyfin that I'd given up on using with Plex.
