which way white man?
jellyfin for the well-adjusted film connoisseur.plex for the no-hassle dudebros.streamio for the tryhards.
>>221813464tryharding at what? streaming films?
>>221813712Being an architect of your own personal criterion cupboard
what does any of those do over playing video files over SMB?
>>221812872
>>221812872i had a iir 200 doller plex pass for many years and it was a great program, however they started fucking it up too much trying to pretend its not a program for piracy, so i switched to jellyfin, which isn't as good, but is good enough and free and they don't pretend its not a program designed to steal ip from hollywood studios
>>221813712nta but Stremio is a fucking pain to compile on linux. But if you're on Windows or Android, I don't see why it's not the best choice.
For me, it's a USB hard drive.
>>221812872I double click on the file and it open in Media Player Classic.
imagine being a plex paypig.
>>221812872external hard drives.
>>221812872Stremio + AIOStreams + Torbox has 95% of everything to stream in 4k at the click of a button. Plus they're based in some shithole country so won't be taken down like RealDebridI used to use an external hdd/HDMI cable, then moved to samba media server, then moved to Plex, then jellyfin, and now stremio is the absolute ultimate hassle free unbreakable setup imo
>>221812872Tubi, like the trve patrician.Pluto TV sometimes.
>>221816047Fucking based. Jellyfin AND Plex plus Sonarr and Radarr via qbittorrent for me.
>>221816020Can you teach me your ways?Stremio also let me connect to my 4K TV
>>221812872Jellyfin because it just works.I tried to set up a Plex server for a sibling yesterday and it just refused to let me claim a fresh server. It's ridiculous that I even need third party authentication to "claim" my own server.
>>221812872I dont need some shitty 3rd party app to stream anything>Open in VLC>Cast to my Chromecast hooked up to a 4K TV.
>>221812872I use Jellyfin for myself so I can stream my HDB internals but for other people I just set them up with stremio because normies don't care that much about quality.
kodialso, fuck you
>>221814426I've been using streamio with torrentio for a year and it's been f****** great and my girlfriend and I watch everything. Never messed with criterion or whatever you're talking about. So f*** off
>>221816110I use torrentio and stremio with real debrid which I guess is bad?But anywayhttps://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/s/lDjWTYOAng
>>221817165F*****g f*****t n****r this isn’t R****t or T****k
I use plex with ersatz to run my own little TV stations with cute little bumper ads and all
>>221817721>with bumper adswhat the fuck is wrong with you
>>221817872>he doesn’t recreate the kino tv channel experience with ad breaks and bumpersNgmi
>>221817525I use speech to text and it censors it and I don't give a f*** f*** you and your f**** b**** ass you f**** cock smoking son of a b****For real though. Be good. Stay safe out there. These are dangerous times we living in
>>221816047Tubi is good for finding obscure stuff but the quality is like 2009 youtube.
>>221818531the quality has never bothered me.I'll still watch 90s VHS tapes, in fact I think watching say, The Faculty or The Crow on VHS fits the overall vibe of those films.
>>221817941they are not "kino". they are slop consumerist horseshit designed to sell you shit. you just like them because you grew up with AS bumpers so it reminds you of your childhood. im more concerned about actually watching the series/film that im watching. dont care about whats around it.
>>221818910bitcrushed compressed digital videos look a lot worse than the analog distortion of vhs.
>>221812872This is one of the most reddit fucking things ever devised.
>>221818983>owning your own media is... le bad!!!???
>>221812872Streamio is gay just download torrent in sequential order and watch it on jellyfin
>>221816635plexkeks in shambles
>>221817721What’s your setup for this? Would love to do this for the other people using my server
>>221819400Setting it up is actually crazy easy, this isn't the exact tutorial I used, but it's basically the same steps. In my experience, this will work on basically anything that isn't a netbook.https://smarthomepursuits.com/how-to-install-ersatztv-to-create-iptv-channels-in-plexIt takes some tweaking once you get it online, to figure out how the scheduling and all works, but once you get it running you can just leave it and it'll cycle through whatever schedule you set up.
Plex has a crack at playing anything once you dial it down a bit.
