Currently subscribe to a couple of Plex shares after getting tired of running my own server. This works well for the most part but I’m at the mercy of their infrastructure if anything stops working.

I subscribe to 2 providers for redundancy purposes as they have downtime a lot so it’s more costly than I’d like but still cheaper than running my own and way less time consuming. Not convinced it’s the best or most modern way to pirate / stream.

I’ve read about real-debrid and stremio or other apps. Sounds like torrents and having to wade through low quality releases?

What do you seasoned scurvy dogs use?

    I’ve been using Premiumize.me+Kodi+Tmdb Helper running with Seren and syncing with trakt.tv on my Nvidia Shield 4k Pro 2019.

    Artic Horizons 2 skin.

    Only issue is playing some [Dolby VISION] .MP4/.MKV one of the formats, I can’t ever remember which, is simply all green/pink bad color and also tends to overrun CDN cache/buffers…

    No issues for 720p-4kHDR/Stereo-[Dolby ATMOS] things otherwise.

    And the shields upscaling is halfway decent.

    Added bonus of not being sad when my Smart TV stops getting updates.

    (I have a LG C9, webOS already stopped getting updates and I don’t care.) 🤗

    Added bonus using premiumize.me as a Seedbox for streaming torrents I download to it when things fail to be found/play through my normal means. So no needing a VPN.

    I only subscribe during Black Friday/Cyber Monday so it’s been $116/2 yrs service.
