Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

    I don’t do this myself, but this community has made me aware of Stremio and a plugin for it called torrentio that connects to a (paid) downloader backend called Real Debrid. From the sounds of it, it seems to be a painless user experience for instantly streaming pretty much everything.

    I use Jellyfin, Radarr/Sonarr/Bazarr/Jellyseerr/Torrents to play & acquire media. Building a library in advance works for me, but my SO is the “I just want to flick through a list, play something for a bit and if I don’t like it flip to something else random” type. Advanced curation doesn’t lend well to that user behavior, so I am going to explore making the switch.
