I'm still riding Emby, but it feels like they're also stagnating, with it taking forever(literal years) to implement some seemingly simple features. Too many times have I looked up some desired minor feature just to find out they said on the forums back in 2019 that they're working on it. That pace might be forgivable if they were a non-profit open-source project, but they ditched open-source a while ago and have paying customers. It's getting ridiculous.

Unlike some, I never took off my pirate hat. That's been me the whole time.

Except for the whole not being alone thing.

[–] penguin@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It "caches" torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection's maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you're not distributing anything, you don't have to pay for a VPN, either.

EDIT: It's kind of like a seed box, except it's more of a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.

I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don't like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It's mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.

Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform -- all in one place -- streamed instantly to your TV. I'll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.

EDIT: It bothers me that so many people are willing to dismiss Debrid services without even giving them a chance. Here's proof that this is legit -- /r/Piracy megathread on reddit | Video 1 | Video 2 (sorry for the shaky phone video. I just wanted to get this evidence out quickly before people move on to a different thread, and it's kinda difficult to have a steady hand when you're trying to film and click at the same time.)

The "too good to be true" sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I'm immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way

Enshittification and masturbation.

You know what's hotter? Running an automated piracy server using Plex (Or Jellyfin i guess xoxo) and the -arr family of apps on a raspberry Pi so you can pretend you've got a cute little netflix system :^)

I switched to Deluge from qBittorrent a while ago and I don't even remember what it was that made me switch.

[–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I did the opposite and also can't remember why I did it.

I'm a simple man I use Stremio.

[–] y2cwr2005@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (12 children)

Stremio combined with RealDebrid is untouchable. Almost every show and movie you could ever think of, ready to go.
