With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.
So I am wondering if it’s possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?
Use Plex, and the *arr apps along with a usenet subscription. When I add something to my watchlist in Plex, it automatically downloads. It takes a little work to set up but it’s pretty seamless.
I didn’t know you could do this… shit there goes a bunch more hours of my life…
Voting this over Jellyfin. Plex actually has good apps for the end-users to stream from. Jellyfins apps are iffy at best and awful at worst
Agreed, BUT: I am really concerned about how much data Plex has, especially with their push to go legit. I set up a pi-hole and plex sends out a good amount of analytics. They know what you’re watching, which means it’s possible they’d have to share that information.
Also, if plex goes down so does your server. I love plex but if any of the 100% self hosted stuff catches up I’m absolutely jumping ship.
How did you setup the plex watchlist download? I use overseerr for that now, but if I can just use Plex that makes it easier…
Oh that sounds a lot nicer than having to add them to sonarr/radarr. Very interesting.
