To sum up for anyone finding this later:
Running your own jellyfin server is best and free. Check out the servarr community to get started. Will take a bit of setting up but if you can figure out Lemmy, you can figure this out. I’d personally recommend some kind of Usenet subscription with this but some might prefer to use torrents.
You can do what I do and get an app share where someone else runs the server, downloads everything for you etc and you pay to use their service.
Stremio / Syncler paired with a paid real-debrid account seems like a good solution but you can use torrents if you don’t want to pay anything. This is seriously good and cheaper than an app share. I’m getting rid of my backup app share and using this in its place.
Thanks all!
Amazing thanks for the help I’ll try them later on
Ah that makes sense, shouldn’t be too much hassle to get them in there then if I can find a good source of torrents. What’s the go to place for those?
Thanks so much
Nice, I had a play with this earlier and it seems to work well if you know what you want to watch. Did see a few ‘no results found’ for some obscure shows
Nice so after I posted I went and started setting this up. What provider(s) are you using? I’m using Syncler+ and RD with a Jake something provider. Have seen quite a few ‘no results’ except for newer things and it’s a lot slower than stremio to find links but it does look way nicer.
That’s similar to what I ran before although it was Emby and Usenet (sabnzbd) as I didn’t have access to any decent trackers for torrenting. Was fine just for me but I need to provide more of a Netflix experience for my non tech savvy household and the storage cost would make it painful
Welcome to the promised land
I’d vote for waiting for 0.18.1 if it’s only a couple more days
