Hello everynyan,
So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay?
I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.
Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.
Things I’ve considered:
- Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
- SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then
Thanks, -shitass
Firestick, IPTV Subscription, and TiviMate client has to be the simplest way I’ve found.
If my mom, and grandma can use it, yours definitely can.
I have setup Streamio + Torrentio+ Real-debrid in my father’s computer. He can uses it really easy and I don’t need to worry about hosting anything. If you want to it work on the TV you would need a Chromecast or Fire stick tv.
Why people are recommending Cloudstream? I think it’s easy to use
Cloudstream is awesome but buggy. Sometimes you have to fiddle with sources to get a stream going
Everyone’s naming Plex, but just to be different I’ll throw Emby out there. I haven’t had any issues with it, and there’s a few features it has that I like.
Cheap android TV box running kodi. Media on usb hard drive.
Don’t buy those boxes, they’re a ripoff at best and funding real crime at worst.
Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I’m about to buy an Android box.
You aren’t wrong. It is something to be careful of. Here’s one source
Best might be to go with a known brand, get a Raspberry Pi, get something like the Intel Nuc if you want something more capable and a wireless keyboard to go with it.
