Back when I was a streamer I used Kodi with the add-ons (I was in a subreddit where the current good ones got posted now and then) and had a Real Debrid account.
It was really convenient, maybe give it a go with your Pi. There’s an OS you can bang on it (is it openelec? Libre-elec? Something like that) and just plug it into your TV. You’ll have to work out controlling it in a convenient way, I have a little keyboard about the size of a remote with a usb dongle. It’s got a little touchpad for the mouse and cost me fuck all on Amazon.
You do have to pay for Real Debrid but it’s totally worth the price and will get you used to paying for piracy.
So the cycle goes:
Install Kodi and play with the free streams and think it’s pretty great, get frustrated because you can’t watch that one thing, finally bite the bullet and get a month of Real Debrid, tell your friends how ace Real Debrid is.
Just skip that and get Real Debrid once you have your Pi set up.
Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music
Kick back, watch it crumble
See the drowning
Watch the fall
I feel just terrible about it
That’s sarcasm, let it burn
I’m gonna make a toast when it falls apart
I’m gonna raise my glass above my heart
Then someone shouts, “That’s what they get”
For all the years of hit-and-run
For all the piss broke bands on VH-1
Where did all their money go?
Don’t we all know?
Parasitic music industry
I had a friend bring up this very topic this weekend and I replied “What would be more creepy and more likely is that the ad giants have algorithms for working out what you’ll buy that are that good that they know what you want before you do and you’re just noticing how good it is”
