That wasn't written by a human. It was written by an AI. AI does this weird thing where it will say things like this - "AI or MCP features. Not in 1.0" - when the user prompting it hasn't actually requested whatever it is the AI has hallucinated as not being included. I've been using Claude Code to update some internal tooling I use (basically a bunch of python scripts I've painfully hacked together for myself that automate stuff) and it often comes out with things like "Not in this version: XYZ" when I have never even asked it to build XYZ.

is this a serious question? It would make it easy for someone to expose an SMS bot to family and friends, for starters. so they can have family request things in a convenient way?

For example my mom, who is tech illiterate, could send an SMS like "please add the new spiderman movie to the media library." And it magically shows up on the apple tv.

Or we could use it to do a "lazy" search on the library. Jellyfin in the year 2026 is still too stupid to understand that when i search "spiderman", the result "spider-man" should be included in the results. God help us lol.

Or maybe you could easily run codex/claude against your media server to help with routine maintenance. Like "hey claude we're a bit low on disk storage. Please find movies/shows that were requested a while ago and are large in size." then if you're happy with the list, ask claude to delete those for you.

Idk...i could think of like 20 more uses cases. Use your imagination. :)

I would use it for a regularly scheduled validation job.

Sometimes a bad copy, mismatch, or low-rated media slips through all the filters. Could use an LLM to fix the media and harden the filters to prevent issues going forward. I’ve probably spent weeks of my life toiling and tweaking over the last 15 years.

Not the OP, but I see a lot of complaints on HN about dumb media player "voice control". I myself had cringe experiences with my car when I wanted to play a particular genre or song.

"What's that movie with the kid who messes with those guys who try to rob his house during Christmas? Do I have that one?"

Natural language searching seems like a good reason.

To generate/translate subtitles.

I want everything AI capable. Just allow me to plug in my own selection of model.

Downloading subtitles with STT fallback via whisper then summary so that you don't even have to watch the show anymore, way more efficient. /s
