tips pirate hat
I would but it doesn’t have the ease of Netflix etc so for the kids and wife it doesn’t work
thats where jellyfin comes in. ive got ~35,000 episodes in my library. all the 'tv’s in the house are connected, and they can watch from school and crap on their phones.
Streamio does. It even has profiles. Just get the torrentio add-on and you’ll be golden.
Just a single one, my own Plex server. I like to have all my stuff in one place and actually own it.
Nice, I have a PLEX server too! I rip my physical media and put it on there. I definitely put more money into that than streamers although I will probably take a break from collecting soon, just to enjoy what I already have.
I hate Plex because it requires my computer to stay on at all times for it to work and I use a laptop
That setup used to be fine because I used it exclusively on my laptop for a bit. I since moved my server to an RPi, and then more recently to a OptiPlex 3050 Micro Form Factor machine.
Long-term I probably need a NAS + dedicated and upgradable machine solution but it’ll be years before I start doing that
Yeah I’ve thought of buying a mini computer just to hang on the wall behind my tv and use as a server
I’d say it’s worth it for casual use! It’s mostly working for me for dedicated use as well. You can do a lot with a mini machine.
I suspect you’ll be happy with what I bought. It only costs $100 and is small enough to be tucked behind my trash can without incident.
One. Streamio with the torrentio add-on.
Everything is on it.I use a rotating list of pirate streaming sites
I get Amazon Prime free, aside from that I have Disney plus and Netflix. Disney is heavily used by the kids, Netflix I use mostly
My wife subscribes to Hulu and Netflix. Her sister has Disney plus.
I don’t own any subscriptions for entertainment, except maybe Humble Bundle, which isn’t a streaming service. My subscriptions are more for software and tech.
That’s a good investment! I probably need to beef up my tech some, honestly.
Piggybacking can be fun, sometimes I watch Homicide: Life On The Street with my dad and one of my siblings on Peacock, and I’ll be piggybacking on that same sibling’s Netflix subscription for Arcane S02 after the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star fall finales.
- Dropout (I like the content, and it’s quite affordable)
- Prime Video (included with Prime, which I’d like to cancel soon)
and then if you count it as a streaming service:
- Plex (with lifetime plexpass membership, I’ve never streamed any of the included content, and only use it for streaming my own library)
None personally. I mainly stream. Occasionally I borrow a families Netflix if I feel like I need it.
That’s cool. My siblings who live in other states are a big factor in why I still have Hulu (I’d probably keep Disney+ regardless, for the Marvel content there) so I’m on the other end of the sharing equation.
Probably due to lifestyle. I get the impression your a TV hobbyist/enthusiast based on the amount of subscriptions you have. I mainly watch things only after they enter the mainstream to avoid wasting my time on things I won’t enjoy.
Oh I am! I’m about to get Max in a few weeks too, to watch The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy when I have time to do so. I love TV!
As a person who has a lot of Netflix stock but doesn’t own Netflix… Please subscribe to Netflix!
CBC Gem is great and free for Canadians, but we buy premium anyway because it’s important to support these things or they’ll go away
I have Amazon prime but I didn’t get it for streaming and rarely use it. But, I did recently use it to watch Vox Machina on browser with Ublock Origin so the stupid ads wouldn’t play.
I am ashamed to say I love entertainment so I have:
Apple TV+, Max, Disney bundle (Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ deeply discounted thanks to Verizon), Netflix, Paramount+, MGM+, NFL Premium+ and Amazon Prime.
My household splits these, so it is easy to manage.
I’ll start first, I have one or three depending on how you count it: the Disney Trio Premium bundle, with Hulu (no ads), ESPN+ (no ads), and Disney+ (no ads). I don’t really need ESPN+ but I like to watch college football sometimes so it’s nice in a pinch. I’ve used Hulu since I was a teen because they reliably have content from TNT, Cartoon Network, USA Network, FX and FOX. Or at least they did when I got it at first. However, I don’t use it as much as I’ve started collecting physical and digital media, so some stuff might have gone away without me noticing.
