It was already half-dead. Cheapest subscription already had it disabled. I know cause my wife (no idea why) pays for netflix cheapest subscription and she cant use her account on any devices but one or else it will not play anything. Casting didnt work cause this somehow counts as "another device"... Tested on Chromecast 2

    I must get into this Usenet thing one day. Though it all seems complicated.

    I run Jellyfin but we have already seen 90% of it. I have managed to setup a fully automated Arr stack with Jellyseer but need to deploy rpi3 in my homeland that will act as a VPN so the country I am in wouldn't bite my ass with a huge fine for torrenting stuff.

    Other than that, we do use Myflixer a ton. She, in fact, is primary user. Thing is, Myflixer is English and Netflix is in local language which even I find it being better for both of us since we are foreigners. This is the reason I have set an Arr stack so I can download movies in local language. But I have to figure out how to get in local private torrent trackers.

    Also, I am watching my Jellyfin instance as I type this comment :)
