I’m wondering about what your piracy workflow looks like.

  1. Where do you find what shows/films to watch?
  2. Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?
  3. Where do you store media?
  4. What software are you using to watch it?
  5. How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?

I have Netflix and Disney+ (through family) and it already drives me crazy to remember where which show is available, download quality sucks, shows get delisted halfway through watching them. Sometimes multiple seasons even are across multiple streaming services. (I was very sad before I discovered there were more than 4 seasons of Adventure Time). I even want to pay for the production of good media, but streaming services make it a really hard sell 🤬

I know that the -arr suite with jellyfin is a pretty nice workflow, but I’m not into self hosting (yet).

    Same as you, I also haven’t fully dipped my toes to the world of self-hosting (yet).

    1. For non-animation movies/series, I wade through the popular/trending categories or read recommendation from friends, lemmy or, god forbid, reddit. I don’t really need to do this lately as my shows backlog is as long as my games backlog.
    2. For convenience always. 720p is fine for me.
    3. I stream. Unless it is one of my favorites I want to keep.
    4. Real-debrid+Stremio.
    5. Stremio does it for me. Also for anime, I have Anilist.
