I have Amazon prime but I didn't get it for streaming and rarely use it. But, I did recently use it to watch Vox Machina on browser with Ublock Origin so the stupid ads wouldn't play.

tips pirate hat

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago

I would but it doesn't have the ease of Netflix etc so for the kids and wife it doesn't work

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 17 hours ago

thats where jellyfin comes in. ive got ~35,000 episodes in my library. all the 'tv's in the house are connected, and they can watch from school and crap on their phones.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

Streamio does. It even has profiles. Just get the torrentio add-on and you'll be golden.

Just a single one, my own Plex server. I like to have all my stuff in one place and actually own it.

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 6 points 18 hours ago

Nice, I have a PLEX server too! I rip my physical media and put it on there. I definitely put more money into that than streamers although I will probably take a break from collecting soon, just to enjoy what I already have.

I hate Plex because it requires my computer to stay on at all times for it to work and I use a laptop

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 4 points 17 hours ago

That setup used to be fine because I used it exclusively on my laptop for a bit. I since moved my server to an RPi, and then more recently to a OptiPlex 3050 Micro Form Factor machine.

Long-term I probably need a NAS + dedicated and upgradable machine solution but it'll be years before I start doing that

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah I've thought of buying a mini computer just to hang on the wall behind my tv and use as a server

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 2 points 16 hours ago

I'd say it's worth it for casual use! It's mostly working for me for dedicated use as well. You can do a lot with a mini machine.

I suspect you'll be happy with what I bought. It only costs $100 and is small enough to be tucked behind my trash can without incident.

  • Dropout (I like the content, and it's quite affordable)
  • Prime Video (included with Prime, which I'd like to cancel soon)

and then if you count it as a streaming service:

  • Plex (with lifetime plexpass membership, I've never streamed any of the included content, and only use it for streaming my own library)

I use a rotating list of pirate streaming sites

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

I get Amazon Prime free, aside from that I have Disney plus and Netflix. Disney is heavily used by the kids, Netflix I use mostly

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

One. Streamio with the torrentio add-on.
Everything is on it.

My wife subscribes to Hulu and Netflix. Her sister has Disney plus.

I don't own any subscriptions for entertainment, except maybe Humble Bundle, which isn't a streaming service. My subscriptions are more for software and tech.

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 1 points 18 hours ago

That's a good investment! I probably need to beef up my tech some, honestly.

Piggybacking can be fun, sometimes I watch Homicide: Life On The Street with my dad and one of my siblings on Peacock, and I'll be piggybacking on that same sibling's Netflix subscription for Arcane S02 after the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star fall finales.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago

None personally. I mainly stream. Occasionally I borrow a families Netflix if I feel like I need it.

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 1 points 18 hours ago

That's cool. My siblings who live in other states are a big factor in why I still have Hulu (I'd probably keep Disney+ regardless, for the Marvel content there) so I'm on the other end of the sharing equation.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

Probably due to lifestyle. I get the impression your a TV hobbyist/enthusiast based on the amount of subscriptions you have. I mainly watch things only after they enter the mainstream to avoid wasting my time on things I won't enjoy.

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 2 points 18 hours ago

Oh I am! I'm about to get Max in a few weeks too, to watch The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy when I have time to do so. I love TV!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 0 points 18 hours ago

As a person who has a lot of Netflix stock but doesn't own Netflix... Please subscribe to Netflix!

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 1 points 19 hours ago

I'll start first, I have one or three depending on how you count it: the Disney Trio Premium bundle, with Hulu (no ads), ESPN+ (no ads), and Disney+ (no ads). I don't really need ESPN+ but I like to watch college football sometimes so it's nice in a pinch. I've used Hulu since I was a teen because they reliably have content from TNT, Cartoon Network, USA Network, FX and FOX. Or at least they did when I got it at first. However, I don't use it as much as I've started collecting physical and digital media, so some stuff might have gone away without me noticing.
