A decent “no logs” VPN + thepiratebay.org, or Streamio + realdebrid has solved just about every media issue I’ve had.
Most of the time it’s easier just to open Streamio than search through 8 apps for what I want to watch only to find it gated behind a $65/mo. add on subscription, or not at all.
Mainstream app streaming has gotten worse, and open source streaming has gotten wildly easier.
Been self hosting my own content since Netflix removed King of the Hill. Cancelled my sub immediately.
For the most part I was doing everything manually with a seedbox, SFTP, and then renaming things.
Just scrapped that setup and did a docker environment with gluetun, qbit, and some *arr apps. Pretty good so far, some annoyances, but was a bit easier than I expected.
Plex?
nah. Plex bad. Kodi or Jellyfin
Why use Plex (and relying on trusting them) when you can selfhost Jellyin?
@DmMacniel @Casterial any advantage on jellyin over emby?
yeah, that its the open source fork of emby.

I get frustrated even trying to pay for a subscription, only to find that I’m being gatekept at 720p/1080p for deigning to use my browser on PC.
