This looks fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation.

I unfortunately don't have MAX anymore after they dropped Westworld (and all the other crazy shit that happened around a year or so ago) so I may also have to borrow a copy from my friend the internet..

Edit: Looks like my son already put in a Requestarr for it and it's in Sonarr. The *arr stack really has changed the game after I was out of the scene for 10 or so years.

Same, stopped pirating when Netflix became available here. By 2024 I was subscribed to 4 different services, and was still missing out on a lot of cool stuff. So when I got my first Prime video ad I just said fuck them, bought a NUC, set up jellyseerr+Jellyfin+a bunch of *arrs, and canceled all my subscriptions. Now I can watch anything I want, and the experience is so much better than any of the legal services.

I have a copy of sg-1.

It's in widescreen, 1080p , the audio is from the Blu-ray and the video is an upscaled release.

My server crashed as I was in the middle.of my rewatch and so I jumped over to prime to continue as I rebuilt my server.

It's in 4:3, maybe 720p, horribly dark. Audio was recorded on two cans and a string and it has advertisements.

I couldn't watch it. It was such a painful experience.

It's crazy how they fucked themselves out of revenue streams so completely. Within 6 months of canceling all our streaming services, I was able to pick up 4x16tb HDD's for a JBOD connected to a NUC for about the same cost (likely less all said).

A lot of us that grew up sailing the seas became stable enough to afford the media we wanted and docked our ships. Now, I'm back on my favorite newsgroups like it was 2001.

There's that quote from GabeN, I won't repost it, but it's true. There's a serious service problem and the greed isn't helping. Now I've got a multi terabyte NAS and backup with a streaming services and a Steam account I'll never make through the backlog of.

All that said, when possible, I still by the stuff I like on physical, but even that is getting harder and harder anymore.

The biggest mistakes these shareholder appeasing cock puppets are making is thinking we don't have a choice anymore. We do and they are greater than they've ever been.

I'm to the point that I won't tolerate your service if you can't give me a better experience than my jellyfin+*arr server. Why pay for 5 subscriptions to show you ads and low quality content when I can do it myself much better and for free?
