Honestly mate, I am not a tankie or even politically left in my country, but when looking at the insane results for these enormous companies and the ever increasing greed with ads/price hikes, I’ve just had enough.

I know it’s not morally right to steal, but I refuse to support companies like Alphabet paying their CEO 200+ million a year. If they manage to block me out when skirting their ads, then I’ll find something else to spend my time on.

So you’re right, I just don’t care anymore.

I do pay for Nebula though!

That thought didn’t cross my mind, and you must be right.

I’d say go for a streamer of some sort as a solution. Not had many issues on the CCWGTV.

1: The official Android app didn’t work?
That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.

I can’t speak for all Samsung TVs, but I have the Q9FN65 from a few years ago and it has been offline almost since day one.
Never had any nagging at all and all the pre-installed crap could be removed.

My biggest gripe with them is the lack of Dolby Vision. Samsung wants people to use HDR10+ which is their own version, but it’s not widely supported. Otherwise it’s snappy and functions well.

It works, it’s just not working as I hoped. If I get 0.5 I’m lucky on the most popular episodes.

Guessing it’s peering vs seedboxes crushing me as mentioned above.

Appreciate the feedback mate

You might be right and I’m just underestimating how many people have seedboxes in major data centers…

If so, at least my setup is OK but it makes Autobrr for home users a bit less worthwile.

Just one for Qbit. Did I miss something during setup?

When I migrated the Jellyfin server to a NUC instead of the NAS. Now I can get whatever quality I like and just transcode on the fly when necessary. Also picked up some surveillance cameras that I expect will require some storage space.

14 TB soon full. Considering getting two more drives

Both my banks are missing, but I still feel like giving it a go.

I guess I could just go back if it doesn’t work for me…

I’ve been considering this for a long time, but I can’t figure out if my banking apps will work.
As it’s a work phone, there are certain apps that I must have.

Have you experienced any issues installing and using apps?

Yeah we use that too. Works fine. A bit slow to update between us, but a refresh usually solves it

You’ll be fine mate.

I re-hoisted the flag after a decade and two minions myself this year. The old ways still work fine, but there’s also a ton of new things to make life easier.

Check out the .arr suite, burn uTorrent and get Qbittorrent and try out Jellyfin.

Feel free to ask me directly if you need some pointers.

Cool initiative. Filled it in just now

Saw someone say it was due to Cloudflare.

I’m sure (hope) they will be back soon

Cheers mate!

Have heard about them and must admit I’m a bit skeptical, but I’ll do another round of reading up on them.

MAM looks good as the missus reads a lot on her tablet. Is it mostly English or other languages too?
Might have to set up Readarr as well now…

This is incredible mate!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the next few months and try to get in. LST sounds the most fitting tbh. Relaxed and easy as long as you make a tiny bit of effort.

Thanks again for great advice!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I’ll subscribe and hope for some good ones to open up.

Any trackers you’d recommend in particular?

Yeah it was awesome. I didn’t download a thing for years because the service was good and price was fair.

This year I finally gave in. Paying for 6 different streaming services and still not finding the movie we wanted to watch made me get a NAS and cancel (almost) all subscriptions. We kept Spotify and Netflix.

They can all get bent, literally.

Jellyfin and the .arr suite.

It’s absolutely incredible and I am so greatful to anyone with the skillset and dedication to develop and maintain things like these.

Currently playing with Proxmox and HomeAssistant too.

Hat of to all of you legends involved in FOSS

Sure, it was only meant as a way to circumvent ads on the TV
