Self-hosted media request tools

This cluster consists of self-hosted applications for home media servers that let family members discover, request, and track movies and TV shows, with features such as per-user age rating limits, watchlists, watch history, and ratings. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated.
