Photoprism has different approach. Last time I tried I wasn't impressed. Immich, on the other hand, gives me almost identical experience to Google Photos. I was heavily using Google Photos, so this is probably the reason why I am pro-immich.

Just a question - are you considering AWS unlimited S3 storage where you pay-as-you-use?
Considering that it's free, always improving and self-hosted, I am more than happy that it lacks some minor features from Google Photos. :) It's not perfect, but I can relax that nothing like this would happen to me:

Lmao this is me 😅
I am not certainly sure if I understand "cable interface" you are referring to, but Jellyfin has IPTV support. Last time I used it was...OK. 1000+ channels, but it was somewhat working. Used with M3U playlist, no idea about other stuff implementations.
Your use case is completelly valid. I would probably use Kodi too if no other alternatives exist. :) Currently rocking with Jellyfin.
Well, if you ask me whether it's working? Or can it be used? Yes! It does work and can be used.
But it's like using 2010 smartphone in 2023. It does work, but personally I have zero joy using it.
Kodi is slow, laggy software. Default interface looks ugly. Especially animations - they are laggy and super ugly. Whole interface lags when navigating. As a cherry on top - settings are super non-intuitive and very hard to use. Last few times I used - addons are tend to fail to install or fail to work without bugs, app itself crashed few times (on both Android and Linux). Generally what is the most significant issue with it is it's utter slow performance and UI/UX (ugly/laggy animations, annoying non-synced menu sounds, annoying interface which is very hard to navigate and use).
For example, Jellyfin client is like day & night difference. Settings are easy to use, interface is neat, not laggy and so on.
Like day & night. But for Jellyfin you need to have a server and files stored on server. Jellyfin app is a client for your server, while Kodi is local media...player?
Atheism is bad! 😅
Kodi generally chockes in the menu. Default interface is ugly, navigation is ugly, animations are slow af and laggy, settings are non-intuitive and overall stability is trash. Each time I try it - it sucks. Tried recently to setup for my dad - it's just ridiculously hard to navigate and utterly slow...
But it's not that difficult to dedicate Docker compose file for an "immich project" and use exactly as developer suggests. You are not like going to have 100+ users, more like 1-10 users and even RPI would be enough. It's not an issue to have small database along immich project on the same host.
