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.

I just pirate whole seasons and then burn them to blu- ray for long term storage/old time's sake. I love having my media compartmentalized on discs.

I prefer having them instantly accessible from my truenas server. Plex is a godsend.

Use jellyfin

I will if Plex ever stops doing what I need it to. As it stands, it works perfectly fine so I see no reason to switch.

I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn't nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I'm willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn't seem as good yet..
