Actually yes. Requested through Seerr, added automatically to Jellyfin, streamed to the Kodi box. Simpler interface than Netflix. Setting it up is though not simple, but if a toddler has learned to use the TV remote they'd be able to use it. And there's about 30TB of content already so Seerr is rarely needed.

    For context I'm spreads doing this I run Plex and jellyfin in tandem, but many times I'd rather not host the content if it's already on my streaming services. Good luck having a good experience with those on these types of setups. That's my gripe.

    I got my setup because the experience on streaming services sucked but I get it if you still use those. In that case an Android box is the closest you'd get without compromising on ease of use (just don't buy the no-name ones from AliExpress).
