You're free to ask.  Don't feel like you have to take this down.  Just keep in mind that you're asking in the wrong place.  Not because of the making money/covering costs part, per se.  Just that the user base for Jellyfin, and thus the pool of available developers, does not have your use case in mind.  And that a tool/plugin/docker app/whatever, is likely to just not exist or is not regularly maintained.

thanks! thats what i figured, but i was curious if anyone had their own jury rigged system better than the one i set up.
