Another thing I do, on the topic of vetting content for the kids to watch on jellyfin/emby: tl;dr: ios shortcut -> flask app -> yt-dlp. I wrote a tiny flask app that runs somewhere on my network, which takes POSTs with two parameters, a link and a name. It passes the link to yt-dlp and then renames the resulting file to "{name}.mp4". (It then also POSTs to emby's endpoint telling it to rescan the library.) I made a janky ios shortcut does "receive any input from share sheet" -> "get urls from {shortcut input}" -> "ask for {text} with {file name}" -> "get contents of {my flask app's URL}" the last step takes the URL from step 2 and the file name from step 3 and uses those as the POST body. I named this shortcut 'ytdlp'. So now I'm looking at nearly anything on my phone (youtube, twitter, it even works with tiktok/imgur links from a browser because I only view those from a browser, not their app), hit 'share', choose 'ytdlp' and give it a name, and a couple seconds later that video is ready to watch in emby. I've archived hundreds of videos this way for the kids over the last couple years.
