  That’s the thing about all the pirate apps. They’re made by people that actually care, not by companies that are only in it for the money. The user experience is usually a lot better.

      I’ve heard that you can download stuff from filmfans.org and serienfans.org with jdownloader. Reportedly it’s then possible to host it locally on your own Synology NAS and use Infuse on your Apple TV for a magnificent user experience.

        Rumor has it that apps that use Real Debrid are way easier to use since you can just go to a TV show and watch it. Even a non technical person can use apps like Weyd. Real Debrid supposedly caches torrents on their server so you can instantly stream them over an encrypted connection.

        Sounds like reliable hearsay

      I’ve heard that Google might have information about Real Debrid and apps that support it. I cannot confirm or deny this myself.

      He is saying that people that get rich selling others people’s stuff without paying for it are not “in it for the money”. What don’t you understand.

  It’s amazing how I can run a better streaming service from my basement than the ones I pay for.

    Start servicing millions of users. Then we’ll talk.

      If they’re servicing that many users their UX should be better, but it’s not. Search should work better, but it doesn’t. They should let me make playlists, but they don’t.

      Yes, scale is hard but it shouldn’t be hard to put a clock in the pause screen showing me what time the show will be done. And that’s just a tiny way Plex is better.
