Oh yeah I don’t buy the backwards compat stuff because you can version an API to preserve backwards compatibility to sensible ends.

I’d be very interested to see cases of streaming or copyright lawyers essentially hacking users to litigate them. The only stuff Ive ever seen on snooping by corps on pirates it’s usually collecting PII from public sources like torrent clients without VPN coverage.

I know about adblockers but these websites are still usually ass even with them.

I don’t mind battling them for something like an F1 livestream but when you want your own collection of stuff that won’t get randomly shit on by domain seizures or ISP blocking, there’s a reason I’m self hosting my media.

They doubled the price lol. And why pay $80 for something that they have the right to gut at any time?

I use a non-rooted docker, reverse proxy, and cloudfare domain. I know Jellyfin has some API security issues but I’m still unconvinced that any of them can be used to escalate to any level that would threaten my server (or even my instance of Jellyfin).

You’re not paying for software maintenance, you’re paying a subscription service to a private company that has already decided to cut back on features that others also thought they were paying to maintain.

If you want to actually pay for software maintenance, migrate to Jellyfin and pay them instead, rather than filtering your payments through middle managers and shareholders first.

No matter how bad someone might think Jellyfin is, it is a million times better than subjecting yourself to endless ad slop on one of these ““free movies”” websites.

It’s surprising how slow open source is on replicating Roku. So many manufacturers could be using Linux to bypass androidTV and RokuOS bullshit. I suppose AndroidTV is good enough even despite that.

mine is a pi 4 but basically the same, just shoved inside a box for protection
