Wife and I live in Germany, but still have some streaming services from our home country in Eastern Europe.

We started a Scream movie marathon on the weekend to catch up on the series, before we watch the newest one in cinema.

We watched the first 2, and half of the 3rd on 28th February Saturday on one of the streaming platforms (SkyShowtime). The next morning (1st of March), the movies were not available anymore.

We finished 3 and watched 4 on Amazon Prime, but within that we had to start a separate subscription for horror movies.

5 was only available in German with no subtitles, so I had to search for another source. Ended up creating a Paramount+ account, downloaded the app, and watched the movie there.

Then back to Amazon Prime, where finished the 6th Scream movie, before heading to the local cinema.

This was the last straw, we decided to go back to sail the seas after a decade of streaming service subscription. Next weekend I will take some time to figure out the setup we need to make this happen safely, as a lot has changed since I left it behind.

Use Jellyfin. I have been running it since the middle of last year and it has been amazing and stable. Have fun.

If you want online streaming: fmhy

If you want torrenting, make sure to bind vpn to client

If you want media server, use jellyfin with arr stack

Happy sailing :)

Yep. I pirated when I was young because doing things "proper" was more difficult. Then they started having reasonable fees for services that were easy to use without ads.

But now the prices are outrageous, the ads are back, and everything is so fragmented. Piracy is the better user experience again. I was about to set up a NAS and start sailing again, but now storage prices are jumping.

I may just start going outside.

What's an "outside," precious?

I think that's where what they call "grass" is.

Yarrlist, cast from PC to tv if available. Or get a browser plugin and download it from the site if you don't want to go full pirate.
