I guess it's just the way my brain doesn't assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I'm done I realize it's just a single device install that that results in something that looks like a web page, and will need to be repeated on any other device that I want to use it on. Pretty underwhelming, and a s*** ton of work for what I end up with.

Anyway as I said I'm not very good at processing large chunks of information, so if I'm underusing it please let me know how I should properly be doing things.

I am requesting comments.

Edit: okay, I set it up on my wife's iPad easily using Safari and it seems to work fine. Thank you all, I truly didn't know what I was doing and I still don't, but so far so good.

you don't need to "repeat it on any device you need to use it on". it sounds like you set it up as a local instance, but the general idea is you'd make that instance available from any device on your network (or the whole internet if you enable port forwarding on your router)

as an example, i have it running alongside radar/sonar/plex on my media server and use NGINX reverse proxy to make it available anywhere from https://requests.mydomain.cat/. "nginx proxy manager" can help get that domain set up securely with your own auth rules
