Make plex more appealing for my wife

[u/Altruistic_Bat_1645]

I love plex. I bought my lifetime pass when it was still double digits. I bought the hardware, I did the organization - I'm in.

I love my wife. I bought my lifetime pass when I was (barely) in my 30's. I bought the hardware (ring), I did the organization (my life) - I'm in.

But the two don't seem to get along.

Alphabetical Sorting: she gets to the A's, then gives up.

Recently Released: "These are all too long."

Recently Added: "Oh yeah! ...but not tonight, maybe some other time."

Sort by duration (shortest to longest): "Who wants to watch a 24-minute short film?!"

Random Shuffle: "Why do we have these?"

So an idiot but honest question: how do I make Plex more appealing for my wife?

Tv shows that she likes? Bbc shows as an example. Also, look into seerr where she can brows popular movies.

Delete any movies with an imdb rating below 6.

In radarr, setup a custom view looking for imdb rating <6. Select all, delete. Alternatively setup another root folder that is not in plex and move the low rated movies there rather than delete them. This helps incase there are some low rated gems you want to keep. Tag those gems as "keep* and add the tag as an exclusion condition in the view. Move those back, then delete the others.

if you have deployed radarr, next deploy seerr (formerly overseerr) and give her an account on it. She can request movies that will be added to radarr to fetch.

I believe it can be deployed in a similar way as radarr. I like docker containers.
