When I was a kid, my sister and I had a tower of VHS tapes we watched endlessly. Fast-forward to today, and my children's movie collection is vastly different. It's completely digital and dispersed across services. I wanted to recreate the tangibl...

My kiddo doesn’t really care too much about movies but loves TV shows. Maybe I solve it with a script if I can’t get the native plex link to work
This is going to be a good winter project for me

Love these ideas! Might make a V2!
For audiobook that has been done: https://us.tonies.com/ The moment you lift the figure it stops playing and will resume, when you put it back. Nice concept for little kids and it went really well here in Germany. You will find a Toni box in most middle/upper class households. They are magnetic.
