With Sonarr/Radarr and Jellyfin, that convenience has effectively been trumped. I don't know how they can compete

Wow that's old.
Frankly, as shitty is a lot of that stuff was, DVDs were like the last form of media distribution that I would actually call tolerable in terms of consumer friendliness. You still got a physical disk with the actual movie that was easy to rip and share, no internet required. If it weren't for the quality limitations, I'd still collect them as the primary physical backup to my media server.
Just a small tip, doublecheck all your user and group permissions after following that guide. I went through this before and the guide gave a bad instruction on the permissions for a folder that I ended up spending hours diagnosing. I still see at least one space where it tells you sonarr should be in the "sonarr" group and not the "media" group as previously instructed.
The guy they have that wrote these guides and answers all support questions for Sonarr and Radarr, he's an absolute asshole, bad at giving instructions, and often unhelpful. I'd say don't even bother with him.
