And fuck. I really miss plex. I've had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won't let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn't save my watched episodes. Doesn't mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues.
Wanted to add no ad Disney to the Hulu for some Doctor Who. Only the add supported is available through Hulu. So I'd have to cancel, wait for the month to end and sign up via Disney. Deal with ads or pay almost double the duo plan costs, or include ESPN, and honestly fuck sports.
What is so difficult about just providing a decent service for a fair price? Why is plex like a decade ahead of the streaming UI's? I'm trying to give you fucks money and you're making it extremely difficult.
You're viewing a single thread.
Family won't let you cancel? Cancel anyway. Let them pay for it.
Ahoy, FlavoredButtHair truly embodies the pirate ethos
Jellyfin + Sonarr/Radarr + Bittorrent = free personal netflix with infinite logins.
I gave logins to my whole family over the holidays and now they can watch anything they want. They just text me the name of the movie and it's up there in 2 minutes.
Streaming is becoming just as bad as cable was. I'm done playing their games.
Hulu literally has adds on their PAID subscription.... People are getting WAY too used to being butt fucked by these companiesedit: I used this guide to set it all up: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487
Ombi or Overseerr (I prefer Overseerr) will let them do requests automatically. Overseerr uses Plex logins so you don't need to manage additional passwords for them.
You can have Overseerr sync Plex watchlists so they don’t even need to use Overseerr, just add what they want to their Plex watchlist.
You can setup Overseer to manage requests and even sync Plex watchlists so that literally all they have to do is add something to their watchlist.
There is a Jellyseerr which might work the same way.
People need to be more educated when it comes to VPN and piracy. Your setup is pretty awesome with that combo.
The Plex pass pays for itself.

Never had to pay for my Jellyfin install beyond a donation.
What's the up and downs for Jellyfin?
Try it out yourself and see what bothers you.
Some couldnt care less about features that are the sole reason they chose a platform.
And Jellyfin can be used together with plex until you decide they ditch either of them.casting from the app is not perfect, but using the Android TV app is flawless
I have a similar setup but only use it in my own home. I'm just curious, how do you share to your family? Do they watch exclusively on Mobile/Web (or maybe casting) or do you also push for them to pick-up some form of Android TV or something else that supports the Jellyfin app?
I could share to my family but I don't want to have to babysit them and I know unless it's incredibly simple, they won't bother with it or they'll both me with it every time.
Most already had Android TV built into their TVs, but I gifted a couple of them $20 Walmart Android TVs. Even changed what the Paramount and Disney buttons open up for them. They all got their own logins so our 'recently watched' and 'continue watching' is separate
I'm in love with the customization in Android TV, I even have it controlling my lights so I can dim them all with a button on the remote
You can cast from the Jellyfin app too, but it's not as nice.
Do you torrent directly from your jellyfin box or do you have a seedbox that then sync to jellyfin?
I want to do a jellyfin setup, and wondering if I want a seedbox or directly torrent.
If you are in a trigger happy country the 2nd option or with a vpn.
If your country couldnt care less the 1st.Seedbox then. Don't need to worry then
Yes and no.
Seedboxes with proper storage and a good service are hard to come by. Even more if you want public trackers.
My 2TB costs me 16€ because I have an old service plan but seedbox.io was one of the rare options to allow public and their support is honestly amazing and quick to respond and fix.
Much faster than myself in responding to tickets :pThanks for the info, I will look into that.
I used this exact guide: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487, I have Jackett and QBittorrent on the same Linux server as Jellyfin. Files are moved automatically into the media folders after downloads complete
Are you in a country where ISP are forwarding your information to the copyright holders?
I will check the link. Thanks
