Never had a high-seas site autoplaying. Just saying.
If pirating tv/movies was as easy on Apple TV or a gaming console as Netflix is, I would drop it in a second. I’m paying them exclusively for convenience and to fund my laziness.
I’d just put any old laptop in place of each lol
I’ve honestly given that some serious thought. A mini pc or laptop as a dedicated media server or streaming device wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.
I’ll be honest, there’s some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.
If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do–it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.
well… ads, maybe
uBlock Origin takes care of that.
Just set up my living room Linux pc with Kodi and got all my shows and movies in one nice spot all organized with a beautiful ui. Kodi has many themes, extensions and cool stuff like controller support and the connectivity to other software like jellyfin to stream locally.
Highly recommend it 🏴☠️
I wish Kodi had a better interface for playing YouTube videos. Searching and finding a video to watch with that UI is terrible.
In case you didn’t know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.
So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.
I didn’t know about that. This is neat, I’m gonna try it later. Thanks!
Didn’t know that Kodi could play YouTube videos. I just downloaded all of Dragon Ball Z Abridged and set it up like a show 😆
If you want a great experience with YouTube I can highly recommend the freetube app. It’s worked flawlessly so far on my Linux setup. Just needs updates occasionally like everything else.
If you want a really beautiful experience with Kodi I can highly recommend the “Copacetic” skin.
