    Kodi, Seren add-on and a debrid provider like Premiumize gets me better service than any streaming provider. Multiple source streams on any show in the last couple decades and every movie way earlier than is available from any source I’ve ever seen. If its not available as a cached stream, I can queue a torrent file at their end and stack them up until I’m ready to watch it, but I’ve rarely had to do that.

      To be fair, the last time I flew the jolly Roger was over a decade ago. Finding a stream/torrent that:

      1. Wasn’t potato quality
      2. Had seeders
      3. Wasn’t shut down since last time
      4. Wouldn’t give you a virus
      5. Was actually the thing you were looking for (I did not have sexual relations with that woman)

      was a much more time consuming process.

        The only streamer I’ve ever paid for was Netflix but I only got a few years out of that before it became easier to pirate again. Frankly, the Arr suite is a pain in the ass compared to the above method.

        That just saved me a lengthy troubleshoot with the wife while I’m on the road, she was texting me to say Kodi wasn’t giving her sources when your message showed up on my Lemmy client.

        Thank you, good timing.

          I can say issues only happen briefly if ever. Am 5 years in.

          Prob resolved ~50 mins of me having posted this of course I didn’t update with uptime update. 😅

          I was thinking it was the Trakt.TV free tier changes myself at first.
