Sure, but let’s not pretend like it’s just a one click like streaming legally. My wife and kid would have zero clue how to go about it. But I agree, every time I wanna watch something in particular it’s never on any of the networks, or in one of the ones I don’t have.
Also you can’t get everything through torrents, only popular stuff or current stuff, anything else you might be lucky to get one seeder or two
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 3 months ago
If you setup streamio it’s literally as easy as using Netflix. And it has everything, it’s extremely rare that i find anything that i can’t watch
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Personally Ive got a pirate streaming service which has a mobile app and desktop website to stream anything from Netflix, apple, Disney, Hulu, prime, etc pretty much every service out there and new episodes pop up within a day. It’s no different than opening up the Netflix app. It’s pretty damn easy and convenient. Not perfect as sometimes it lags and you need to watch in lower quality but so much more convenient having everything in one spot than needing to search 5 different apps for something to watch.

If you are tech savy you can get almost whatever you want with a one click, just like legal streaming, and eve with more quality
If you aren’t you can hook up a plex server from a friend or use things like magisTv or similar

My wife and kids have a clue - they just tell me to download it. The little ones will learn their piracy lessons on coffee shop wifi, not at our home.
Zink@programming.dev 3 months ago
My wife and kid love watching stuff on Plex. We might even watch some Dog Man tonight if we have time, then maybe I’ll get to continue The Expense with my wife after the kid goes to bed.
I set some stuff up automatically, but still do a bunch more manually because it’s easy enough. Once I’ve set it up, the user experience and the A/V quality are excellent.
I’ve even started putting a bunch of FLAC albums into Plex to use it for my music streaming. We Get YouTube music for free but it can get obnoxious to actually use throughout the day.

Yes, remember it is totally immoral to pirate things from corporations who actively make everything worse for everyone.
Here’s a guide to what sites you should avoid so you don’t accidentally get movies, shows, books, music, etc. without paying FMHY.net
Karl@programming.dev 3 months ago
yeah, i avoid such sites a lot. Especially brocoflix.com . It’s an atrocious site that lets u watch movies for free.
phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I’m a bit old school with things like this.
I’d much rather avoid downloading a 4k rip and watching it offline.
But I’ll be sure to avoid these sites, too, if I’m ever in the mood to watch something when I’m away from my ‘linux iso storage and acquisition’ machine.

Anyone who still forks money to billionaires for entertainment might be stupid.
undeffeined@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
I agree with the sentiment but if a large majority would stop using these services and pirating wouldn’t it result in either less entertainment or more crackdowns?
haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 3 months ago
Nope. It resulted in the original Netflix, aka a service that actually worked and had everything we wanted for a time. Direct reaction to mass piracy and actually reduced it by 90℅ iirc.
You also can’t crack down on non centralized services and the more decentralized nodes, the harder the job becomes and the more expensive. At some point it will become uneconomic to go after pirates.
And, yes there will be massively less movies & shows which is very good. We live in a fresh hell where billionaires push out half baked shit every week and the only way to tell them is to not buy it.
Affidavit@lemm.ee 3 months ago
The current model has its own issues. The amount of series that are cancelled after the first or second season is ludicrous. Also, and I’m not sure if it’s related to streaming or the constant writer’s strikes, but series have reduced from 16-26 episodes per season from the height of the piracy-era to 6-10 nowadays.
If the reduction in piracy led to this deterioration in quality, then I can’t imagine it could get any worse if everyone started pirating again.
Personally, I reckon it will incentivise the numbskulls in charge that no one is going to pay for 48 separate streaming services and they’ll be forced to adapt (likely via packaging/merging streaming services together).

Or you can buy it for $30, but no you can’t have a digital copy. And if, in the future, the service folds, then you can no longer watch it.

I mean lemmy.dbzer0.com, the instance that is hosted on. I mean, an intance that allows that probably doesn’t have much bullshit authoritarianism. The instance owner is a self-declared anarchist, although, if you are a “right-wing anarchist” (or other right-wing ideologies) you might not like it here.

Hmm, pay $20 a month apiece for 20 different shitty streaming services that use ads, or $6/month for Usenet access and $1/month for indexer access, and get every movie and TV show for nothing extra…
Choices, choices.
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
What’s the easiest/best way to start with UseNet? I’ve wanted to give it a try for the longest time - but it just feels like such a daunting task to try and figure out…
_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
It’s not complicated. The Usenet provider gives you access to Usenet, and the indexer lets you search it for whatever you want. You then download it with a Usenet client. You can do it manually, much the same way as you download a torrent from any site. if you’ve downloaded a torrent before, you would be able to manage Usenet with no issues at all.
Or, if you’re willing to spend a few hours setting up the Servarr apps on an old computer like I did, you can automate the whole thing. I recommend this option, because you do it once and then you have a seamless way to fetch files from torrent and Usenet both without ever doing anything more than typing in the name of the show/movie. The Servarr apps search for, download, and import media into my library so that I can stream them to all my devices using Jellyfin (or Plex, if you like corpo apps). They even fetch proper subtitles for everything, and I also have it set up so after I’ve watched an episode, it’s deleted to make room for something else. It’s as easy as Netflix, at a fraction of the cost.

Don’t do that
Performance will be bad
Zink@programming.dev 3 months ago
Yeah. I just moved my Plex server to my newly rebuilt and Linuxized old gaming machine, a 9700K (8 core Intel) with 32 gigs of ram and a GTX1080 GPU. It is so nice having all that performance available, especially the GPU if somebody needs to transcode while watching.
I can use that machine like normal without affecting anything streaming from the box. Next time I need to encode a video I’ll have to try watching something 4K transcoded to lower bitrate 4K/1080p at the same time to see if I notice anything.

Would you like to see a film? It’s $60 to enter the movie theater. A chair to sit in is $10. You wanted to see the film? You need the glasses to unscramble the screen image. $40. Audio? That’s for due paying subscribers $4.99/mo. You want to exit the theater? $120. In case of fire? Cleaning up your ashes generates a $200 fee.

Debrid-link + Stremio
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Wait what, when did they shut down?
I’m still using them afik
SeekPie@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Just looked into it a bit more, turns out, they’re still working, but:
I’m not that knowledgeable on the whole topic but here’s how I understand what’s happened incase no one else responds
RD received a formal notice from the National Federation of Film Publishers (probably law suit) so RD has to comply and strengthen anti piracy measures.
That started with the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantavailability which is what 3rd party app add ons like torrentio and Fen Lite/Cocoscrapers used to scrape streamable cached links (I think)
The notice also included a blocking of torrents and purge of the cache of specific media, we don’t know the full extent of this yet but it seems many links are already being blocked
The reason torrentio is working with RD again is because the torrentio dev built a workaround so that it will still use RD to pull links we just aren’t able to see if they are cached or not, I do not know if this is a permanent fix but as far as I can tell, things will continually get worse for RD, not better.
If someone more knowledgeable wants to chime in and let me know if/where I’m wrong with any of this I’d appreciate it.
Rakete@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Can you elaborate or redirect to further investigate how this could be used?
SeekPie@lemm.ee 3 months ago
