Well i'm trying to experiment a bit. I'm trying to get all the daily shows to come through and auto delete them in 2weeks eg. breakfast shows local news, daily soaps etc. but jellyfin isnt kicking it. Plus for some odd reason the layout on my shieldTV is an absolute disaster 😔 . So just looking to experiment to see what alternatives are about. I did have mythTV running for a while last year, but it seemed very dated.
Plex supports native auto deletion, just like you are asking for. For Jellyfin there's a plug-in: https://github.com/terrelsa13/MUMC
That's because Jellyfin's clients are still mostly terrible. Jellyfin is the more flexible media server, Plex has the far, far better clients.
Yeah I may have a play with plex. I would rather stay fully open-source.
