RIP fmovies. Long live sudo
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
Dude, there is the golden age I've waited 20yrs for.
Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you're set. Never worry again.
Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!
Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁
That's what I do
Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
I'd never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an "easy to get started" guide for him?
I'd recommend TraSH-Guides
There also is the Servarr Wiki
Thank you! I'll have a look! I mean my friend will 😂
I would pay legit services. But to see it all i would need multiple services with multiple apps, half of which wouldn't run on my rooted devices. So fuck them.
Sadly no. Not that i know. But once it's setup it basically runs forever without tinkering. Impressive for open-source. Could name the software and/or services that are helpful.
The first paragraph hits so hard. "That show is with this service now, but only the last season. If you want to ~~each~~ watch all of them you'll have to get three subscriptions"
Fuck off...
What'll be the min spec for the setup? Can it be run from a pi 4, for example?
Thanks 💖
As you're obviously no american, you also know that even if you'd pay netflix (for the FULL price i might add) you only get a fraction of what they got and not a penny discount for it. Sorry, but no. If you want my money, OFFER ME SOMETHING. Or discount me. That is just robbery.
So, you at least need a server for the whole work. A pi could do it, although you might not expect stellar performance off of it, but it would get the job done I assume. Except maybe live transcoding if that's necessary (like watching 4k uhd content on a 720p phone or so).
So min-spec would be the combined min-spec for all services. As they probably also run on linux (i use win-20xx-server) it really should do.
You'd need:
And of couse:
Maybe, if you want to access everything from the outside and don't want that machine to be totally exposed:
I admit, it's a bit of tinkering and configuring, but once it's working it's fine. The *narrs auto-update reliably, emby does too. Occasionally you might manually update sabnzb and restart emby after an update, but that's it.
I even integrated everything with telegram so I get notifications when someone added/moved/deleted something or stopped playing or whatever else. completely smart-home-integrated too.
if you have more questions, just hit me :)
Thank you! Maybe it's time to replace my pi Armada with a proper server and ~~proximity~~ proxmox.
Anytime. As long as it gets the job done, the PIs are totally fine. At least they don't consume much power :-)
I meant to write proxmox, but my keyboard seems to disagree.
Yeah, they're awesome when they're the right tool. But you need to switch once your needs outgrow them.
Proxmox is nice, using it too on one of my servers. True. I would really not use a pi for that specific use :)
