Plex or Jellyfin (Jf is more preferred by the sailors, but I like Plex quite a bit)

Jellyfin & underlaying infrastructure (sea ports, taxi ships, management ships, pirate ships & so on).

Plex is just a media server. You have to acquire content through some other means, then you can host it on a Plex server and stream it to any device that has the Plex app installed.

I have a Plex server that my entire family has logins for, and I put whatever movies or shows people are interested in. Basically you can make your own mini Netflix.

I got Plex on a RasPi3 and an external 2TB. I have to limit to 1080p/x264 but works quite well.

If I want 4K I’ll buy the disc, downloading even Blu-ray quality is so goddamn big.

So it’s just a streaming app. Similar to bubble up or Miracast?

You don’t, you use Plex to make the experience of watching what you obtain easier. Netflix tier ease of use.

In what way ? I haven’t used Plex yet. It shows you what you have on your other streams. I tried to play a vid I have downloaded but it refused to play. Don’t get the hype.

Would just use a pirate site and stream from thereb
