I'll happily say I must have overlooked something, but I did try using update-alternatives. I don't remember all the nuts and bolts from the start, but it involves python3 and distribution upgrades. I spent a good number of nights over the years trying to unmess it up, and am happy to never think about it ever again.

Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I uninstalled it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.
I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.
I dia just find this: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-jellyfin-authentik-duo-2fa-solution-tutorial
Which claims app compatible 2FA via authentik
- Nothing like a sonic analysis that I know of jellyfin.
- Never had issues with x265 other than for devices that don't have the computation power to decompress. Direct play to my TV with 4K streams have always been excellent.
- It could heavily limit apps, but you could use authentik/authelia to enable access to jellyfin, so external access requires MFA. Internally apps could access the local IP normally without authentik. But bouncing off authentik first would likely prevent most (all?) Apps from working externally - you'd likely only have the webui externally. Can't think of a solid solution until Jellyfin natively supports 2FA
I know you want a single 'yes' for the whole package which is fair, and Jellyfin doesn't offer all of these things, but I'll at least mention:
-
A dedicated music app?
- Its FOSS and there are several excellent apps in my experience worth looking into. I absolutely love feishin (for jellyfin or navidrome). On android I've liked finamp and Gelli.
-
Music filtering/smart playlists?
- smart playlists - Not that I know of
-
Sonic analysis?
- not that I know of
-
Good 4k/x265 performance?
-
I actually am not sure what issues you have here. Are you talking about transcoding it? I most often use native play and so long as the device receiving x265 can handle it I've never had issues
-
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?
-
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
- single IP, I am not sure. But you can limit the number of simultaneous connections they can have (e.g. only one stream, etc). I realize that doesn't have the same exact result in edge cases.
-
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
- Yes. Syncplay exists on it. I have had good experiences with both users in browsers app. But on webos TV app it doesn't work for me.
-
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
- Pretty sure they have webos/android TV apps, android, iOS, a desktop player, web interface. I have first hand experience with android, web interface, Linux/windows, webos. There is a roku app, but I don't knknow if it requires sideloading.
-
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support? Jellyfin DVR capabilities exist, but I can't speak to them.
-
Two factor authentication? Unfortunately, not. I think there are hack ways to pass it through other validators/credentials, but I agree it needs native support of some kind.
For the music gripes - honestly, navidrome IMO. If folks are happy with experience with Plex for everything, I am happy for them, but libraries specialized for media types can have big benefits and focused features.
- Video: Jellyfin (or Plex)
- Music: Navidrome
- Audiobooks: audiobookshelf
- Podcasts: still searching. I partially use Audiobookshelf here but don't love it for podcasts.
Is .com fixed in some way to prevent the same scaling? I thought it was basically the domain sellers increasing the prices year over year
Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn't progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.
I know there's supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don't think I am motivated enough to retry ever.
Fire force definitely sexualized tamaki. The whole 'lucky lewd' skits and everything.
Another very good one that I don't recall anything questionable from is Aldnoah Zero, which I frequently recommend to folks
I've only just started looking myself, but theres agora online

So much yes. Highly recommend. I could listen to Dan Carlin go on about a topic endlessly.
WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It's so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.
Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it's a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.
