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.

Losing fmovies wasn’t the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It’s the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can’t handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.

Dude, there is the golden age I’ve waited 20yrs for.

Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you’re set. Never worry again.

Generally I agree. But I’d be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.

Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)

Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.

Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.

I’d never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an “easy to get started” guide for him?

I’d recommend TraSH-Guides

There also is the Servarr Wiki

I would pay legit services. But to see it all i would need multiple services with multiple apps, half of which wouldn’t run on my rooted devices. So fuck them.

Sadly no. Not that i know. But once it’s setup it basically runs forever without tinkering. Impressive for open-source. Could name the software and/or services that are helpful.

sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something…

Yes its sudo-flix, a piracy app hosted on github. It probably wil indeedl be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise you if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something? I agree.

This just reminded me of movie-web which looked very similar to this… Anyone know something?

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.

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…

I just use my PC for movies + a projector that’s plugged in, so I like keeping it really simple and avoiding stuff like Plex.

I like being able to access it anywhere, on (most) any device of my choosing.
