>improves your kino viewing experience 1000x when you grow up and stop watching everything on your shitty old 14 inch laptop
>>224223298I just do HDMI from my laptop to my TV
>>224223321>I just do HDMI from my laptop to my TVliterally virgin behavior
>hfw i boot up the ol' plex...
I don1t understand the need for these server setups when I can just have the files in the device I'm gonna watch them in.
Genuinely what is the point of Plex when Jellyfin exists?
Why the hell would I use some proprietary piece of shit paid malware for that purpose?
>>224223355>I don1t understand the need for these server setups when I can just have the files in the device I'm gonna watch them in.You have the files on your TV?
>>224223364none
it's funny to me that y'all are so poor
>>224223364None anymore. Plex had some arguments in its favor until they started going out of their way to make everything worse and squeeze money out of their users. The lifetime pass is like $750 now lmao. Plex is a fucking joke these days.
These threads are always hilarious to me because the ones that argue fervently against plex don't even understand what it does. Also they think they are the smarter ones for DURR I JUST RUN REALLY LONG CABLE FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY TV
>>224224040Nobody cares what you think about anything, namefag. Even on a site full of degenerates and retards you are vermin.
>>224224084>the ones that argue fervently against plex don't even understand what it does.this is true. when you ask them, they choke
>>224223355these threads are just ads, there's literally no reason to set up any server
>>224224806>there's literally no reason to set up any serveryou're retarded
>>224223364How well are all the clients for jellyfin nowadays?
>>224223355For me it's general convenience. I can watch my shit anywhere I want without having to put the files on every device. I also have a grandmother who knows I can download anything and asks me for old movies and shows that she cannot find or afford. Rather than hand her off a USB drive and go "figure it out, stupid" I just drop whatever she asks for into the existing library and have the plex app already logged in and set up on her TV. Whole setup costs me a fraction of whatever the goys are paying for multiple streaming services.
>>224223298I've never watched anything on an old shitty 14" laptop because I was never poor or a retard that owned a laptop with that small of a screen (I do technically have a gpd win with an 8" now but that doesn't count for anything but work emergencies) and I've always had my plex running on an HTPC at minimum and nowadays the app is streaming on devices direct from the server. >>224223355Because if you're not a retard or a child eventually you would have more files than what fits on a device you're gonna "watch them in" >>224224040This.>>224224084They are retarded kids and don't have any family or friends. >>224224806Why would plex need to run ads on 4chans tv board? You act like setting up a server is a complex task, literally just have a decent PC with a recent intel chip for transcoding and a large HDD and a reasonable backup through either physical or cloud services. >>224225217This. My server is on it's way to 100TB worth of shit and I have 15 family members and friends as home users that just open it when they want to watch something with 0 effort or learning on their part. When I travel for work I can just stream or download shit to my devices easily as well, same for my gf. I pay for my VPN and backblaze sub and I have a few people who usually give me money every now and then towards a new HDD or whatever if they feel like it. So much easier than literally any other alternative.
>>224225217multiple streaming services are literally nothing to me. for poor people in their early 20s, yes torrenting and plex is great to save a little cash until you get a real job, but once you grow out of the performative poverty stage it just feels embarrassing to do that just to pat yourself on the back for saving a few bucks. lmao, you're the kind of person who stuffs his face with beef at the buffet to make sure you "get your money's worth", aren't you?
>>224225308Pathetic bait
>>224225344not bait but if you want to believe that to sleep at night feel freethink for one second. lets exaggerate and say someone had 20 services at 20 dollars a piece. Thats 400 hundred a month. You can split that with people if thats a lot of money to you, lower it down to 100 a month, but even at 400 a month thats like a day of work for the entire month of media entertainment. In reality the price comes out to much lower and most people share so you're autistically sperging out over maybe 40 bucks a month when even at ten times that amount its still nothing to cry about
>>224223298For me, its the vlc app on the android tv box that is connected to my media server via smb. The simplest and most elegant kino viewing experience
>>224225449It most certainly is bait but I'll bite because I'm waiting for something anyway, retard. The price point isn't my main concern, which is why it was an aside at the very end of the post. I don't care what it costs for you and your yokel family to share entertainment for the month, the reason I won't pay out for the multiple streaming services is because they have absolutely nothing to offer me. Twenty a month for netflix would be a thoughtless purchase, if I actually received anything for said purchase. I don't, because it's a catalogue of trash where what little they have worth my time is not exclusive to them nor did they produce it. This goes for most of them. Their flagship shows and movies that do the best look like shit to me, as do their other productions. If the only things I'm interested in are things that already exist elsewhere, why would I not collect them myself and add them to my existing server? What is the point of swapping between a handful of different services when I simply do not have to? To impress a faggot like you? To be a faggot like you? I'm good. That's why I correctly called your post bait - you aren't adding anything, you aren't discussing anything, you just want to argue about who's poorest and pat yourself on the back for having a job as a grown man. Congratulations, you aren't indigent, your medal is in the mail. Fag.
>>224225308Anon I make plenty of money and I'm almost 40, spending $100+ a month of services that offer terrible service is the last thing I would do (and of course I don't) when I can just spend a few hundred once on hard drives and have all my content owned personally forever. Not to mention the simplicity of literally logging into one service (rarely, because token) and having everything available immediately. You're basically saying like "oh yeah grocery stores? That's stupid, you should be driving all over town to the butcher, market, dry goods, and country store not just going to one simplified all in one store that's more efficient and cheaper!">>224225449>splitting services with people as an adult whos making lots of moneyLol, ok.
>>224224084I use my TV as my computer's display though, it's always in.Then MPC-HC to watch stuff on, sometime NvidIa RTX HDR or Super resolution to improve older content, or just straight 4K stuff.
>>224225147Quite good, I use wholphin on google tv.
