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

      This!

      I do the same for my parents. $10 a month, no fuss, 5PB of media from all over the world (and growing!), all high quality Bluray Remuxes along with Dolby Vision content and what not. Can even put in requests for something specific using a discord bot.

      It’s just like the 2016 era Netflix never died.

      The only investment is an Nvidia Shield Pro because it supports any darn format out there. Without it, you’re only limited to 1080p content (or 4k if the device can direct play) since transcoding anything above 1080p is not allowed due to processing limitations.

      But yeah, it’s a set up and forget kind of service. Make sure to join a reputed server though. And never pay multi-month in a single go unless you’re absolutely sure of their trustworthiness.
