    No paid media streaming service could ever topple an automated Jellyfin server. Who wants to scroll through pages of dogshit content just to find something decent to watch?

      I have my own personal plex server that I pretty much only use for downloading 4K Remux files, so I’m used to pirating shit. I gotta say Stremio w/ Real Debrid sub is super fucking good. I only use it on my phone, so to be able to pull up any movie or tv show on the go for like $4 bucks a month for it’s cheapest option is crazy. I’m sure it’ll get nuked at some point, but currently 6 months goes for $18 dollars. I spend that much on lunch some days. It’s a really good deal that requires 0 effort on my part. I think we should be open to supporting good services and consider ourselves pirates still.

        If you are consuming media in any non-DRM format, then you are effectively a pirate.

        As much as I like Real Debrid, over a long enough period the subscriptions should get you a raspberry Pi as a home media server. I personally like having more control over my media.

      Question, I’m not techy enough to know anything about jellyfin other than it probably is similar to kodi, which I used briefly but ended up using Stremio instead.

      Do you need to download your library? Or can you browse through repositories?

        You need to download the library just like you normally would with Kodi. Stremio is neat too. I like the new UI refresh.
