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.

    Kodi is dated and barely works and jellyfin lacks basic features. I have both jellyfin and plex, I prefer Plex but I have my own server with lifetime bought for $50

    Well maybe. But I value the absence of needing any online service and hackability way more. Also for me, Kodi works perfectly. I have one on each TV, laptop, tablet, all synced. All I need is to open a torrent file from anywhere. But I admit, I have a hairy setup.
