Don’t forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn’t actually tell you which service it’s on.
Section 1
What is streaming? To understand what streaming is, first we have to explain how the Internet works.
The Internet…
The Universe…
Goddamn it just gimme the fucking information already!
I use aggregators like Plex and Google TV to tell me, but even then it’s a pain and not always correct
I’m so fucking done with the garbage AI articles that give nothing. Do nothing. Just waste time and space to try to eat up and revenue I don’t even give because I have ad blocker sup to wazoo. If I had any way to punish them for the damage it’s doing to the internet I would in a second.
I feel exactly the same way. I was searching on google for niche item x to buy. First couple of results were paid ads, then came 10+ dropshipping sites I’ve never heard of before. I miss the old internet
often when i don’t find what i want on google i use duckduck go often i then find it
You can still buy a DVD tho
There are a lot of streaming-only movies and shows. I don’t think Glass Onion has an official physical release, for instance.
Get a DVD burner
And this is exactly what is pushing people back to piracy. It’s easier to get all your movies from the pirate bay than it is to find it legally and pay for it.
Yuup, this is why i started pirating again, which i haven’t done in a long while.
Yup I have access to 3 streaming services. When we look for something it’s the same story fail on 1 fail on 2 fail on 3 find it in 5 mins via other means
But seriously don’t use the pirate bay. There are way better public trackers out now.
Go on…
I know we’re anti-reddit here but last I checked r/piracy still had a kick-ass masterlist
Piracy community here on lemmy is run by previous r/Piracy head admin and has an even more kick-ass masterlist
1337x has some weird gaps. For example I wasn’t able to find any episodes of Loki Season 2 on there and could find them on Pirate Bay with no problems.
Sometimes it’s their indexing that’s just slow, when I don’t find something through search I’ll check a specific uploader and often find it there under their recent uploads

Easy to set up, you can choose from hundreds of trackers, it will auto search and download based off of your quality preferences (but you.can manually choose from a list of ONLY that movie, not general search results), transmission will only work through the VPN, everything is correctly named and indexed.
Then you can watch everything on your LAN through Jellyfin.
Pretty sure that’s multiple docker containers. Not just one.
That’s probably why they specified “docker container set”.
btdigg
Such as?
Forgive my ignorance, but why is tpb not a good place to download from anymore?
Or if you want to stream it, you can check movie-web.app. It’s a great service.
Definitely saving that website. Was previously using lookmovies2.to, but that looks way better.
There’s also justwatch.com
Don’t forget fmoviesz.to/

Definitely the future of television I had in mind was me having to google every movie I want to watch to see if it’s currently in one of it’s one-month windows on any of the seven streaming services I pay for. This is way easier than buying a DVD. I love it.
Yarr!
I want an app I can watch shows and be notified when they are available on streaming services I use
JustWatch is the app. I save interesting shows and movies and get notifications on my phone when they are added to services I use.

It’s almost like they want us to pirate shit.
It’s a consequence of only thinking one quarter at a time.
If all the content creators pooled their content into one platform and split the profit based on viewership, they’d be making far more money on the deal. I’d gladly pay $50/month for access to everything in one place.
Isn’t that just YouTube TV?
No, YouTube TV is basically just cable TV over the internet.
No that’s Floatplane. If it were successful.
Blu-rays and dvds are so cheep on eBay. It sucks the studios are stopping physical copies to try and curb piracy.
When pirating becomes easier and more convenient than using the legit services, the industry is doing something very wrong…
Genuine games being sold with cracks to remove the DRM instead of recompiling it without the DRM because the DRM doesn’t work on modern machines and they can’t be arsed to recompile and actually fix anything so even they resort to piracy.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Excuse me, what?
Got any links for that? I’d love to read more about it, that seems really stupid but also believable considering our current market.
It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but Rockstar was caught recently selling a cracked version of their game on steam.
A lot of the time the person / group doing the cracking leave a digital signature. Here’s a hacker news link to the original Twitter thread that caused a bit of fuss recently:
Jesus Christ that’s embarrassing. And it’s not even one of the companies commonly labeled as “lazy” like EA or Ubisoft.
Rockstar is well known for dodgy PC ports, though.
Yeah I still haven’t forgiven EA for making me waste 15 fucking dollars on a fucking sport demo disc that didn’t fucking work on my computer, and I had to reinstall it uninstall it so many times that I used up all five of my installs, because apparently you don’t get those back when you want install. Fuck you EA
Kill the dvd and blu ray.
Because nobody wants that stuff. It’s old and uncool. Streaming is it.
Now we own nothing.
I own a self-managed server full of content - does that count?
