  Why just pay one service a small fee for ad free streaming, when you can pay a lot of services a large fee for ad supported streaming?

  Just you wait till you see the arr stack (radarr, sonarr, lidarr, etc.)

    I really only hoard music media on Plex as I have friends who collect movies and I use streaming sites like Ororo.tv on Kodi.

    I tried Lidarr but I find that it is inconsistent enough that it is just a find-and-grab utility for me.

    I much prefer ripping tidal tracks on my phone using a tidal-dl in termix and then just using a ftp to my Pi when I get home

      … You know that feeling when you get nerd sniped. 😭

      FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don’t know if there’s just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.

      If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It’s just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go “oh nice new episode is out!”

        If you’re in a private tracker like RED or OPS it works very well, but I agree that public trackers are not well indexed enough

        I don’t really watch TV much in the first place of my own choice. A few things my partner wants to watch but that’s about it. Music I get download with yt-dpl -x, I think that was it anyway as I set an alias for it

  If you actually had a catch all service

  I believe this used to be called cable tv.

  But before you reply, yeah, I know cable didn’t get everything. And you had to pay extra for Disney, HBO, etc. That’s all true.

  But I do remember a time right around 2005, when everyone was saying “if only there were a-la-carte options, for people who only want sports, or only want movies”. My point being, there’s no winning and the grass is always greener somewhere.

  And for what it’s worth, I basically agree with you. I use Plex, I have a few friends who also run Plex servers and we all share content. That’s the best catch all I’ve ever found.

    The problem with cable was it was not on demand and contained ads.

    I would never, ever pay for cable even in today’s world if it was $10 a month because of the overwhelming amount of ads.

  I miss my $8 a month google music + YouTube red… I wonder if people got to keep the legacy price for YouTube premium
