Currently subscribe to a couple of Plex shares after getting tired of running my own server. This works well for the most part but I'm at the mercy of their infrastructure if anything stops working.

I subscribe to 2 providers for redundancy purposes as they have downtime a lot so it's more costly than I'd like but still cheaper than running my own and way less time consuming. Not convinced it's the best or most modern way to pirate / stream.

I've read about real-debrid and stremio or other apps. Sounds like torrents and having to wade through low quality releases?

What do you seasoned scurvy dogs use?

To sum up for anyone finding this later:

Running your own jellyfin server is best and free. Check out the servarr community to get started. Will take a bit of setting up but if you can figure out Lemmy, you can figure this out. I'd personally recommend some kind of Usenet subscription with this but some might prefer to use torrents.

You can do what I do and get an app share where someone else runs the server, downloads everything for you etc and you pay to use their service.

Stremio / Syncler paired with a paid real-debrid account seems like a good solution but you can use torrents if you don't want to pay anything. This is seriously good and cheaper than an app share. I'm getting rid of my backup app share and using this in its place.

Thanks all!
