This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Setup Servarr and get all the women

Just rename Jellyfin into DisneyFlix++ or whatever.

Or use Kodi with that Netflix skin.

Or just share screen from your phone on TV.
You phone is always on VPN to home network, right?

My family has learned not to ask questions, just tell me the name of the movie or TV show in signal, and Ill let you know when its on plex.

I know they dont understand. I see their glassy eyes staring past me if the compel me to explain. 'But who puts it there, and what motivates them?' they ask. They do not see the irrationally of their line of inquiry.

But they have learned now. No questions, no complaints, just leave me a muffin when I've done a good job.

Muffins for the showfinder!

Anon's gf is a normie

Torrent. Phht. Who got the time for that. Sonarr/Radarr/emby(or whichever u prefer) Enter title, wait a minute (unless u r on slow net or prefer 4k remux) and watch. Enter Series-name,go to bed. Enjoy 12 full seasons tomorrow.

Totally hasslefree, no stupid trackers or missing seeder or waiting-time. Movie was posted 10yrs ago? No problem. Still there, still fullspeed. Device not certified for netfucks or rooted? Who cares?

And when your lady asks "why can we watch this, this is not on Netflix" you can reply "what is netflix? I'm a pro"

Sonarr and radarr aren't going to do what you claim without a Usenet client to do the actual downloading. So on top of your *arrs you also have to pick a quality indexer, find and pay for a Usenet provider, and set up your download client. And preferably use a nicer frontend for finding the content a la Overseerr or Ombi. And probably Bazarr to get subtitles for all the anime/foreign language content. Also good luck getting good, consistent releases automatically without some serious dedication to setting up your quality profiles.

I wish? That's not my experience, anything that's not superpopular is hard to find. Are you using private trackers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It definitely depends on your trackers and how smart sonarr/radarr are with picking a useable torrent. I think 80-90% of the time I don't have to think about it, but there are some shows I've had to really dig for. Private trackers make it way easier

Doesn't this solution require downloading the file, reencoding and then it's available to watch? How do you only need one minute to start watching?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

reencoding is not required in advance, it happens on the fly if needed.

download still needs to be completed first usually, but you can save a lot of time if you compromise in quality.

Yeah, I'm poor. Deal with it.

Mate, don't be weird. Torrent the movie you wanna watch before your girl gets there. Put it in your plex library and boot up Plex on your xbox. Easy peasy. You don't have to be weird about it.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 months ago

If she's not excited to see the download bar move, she's not getting invited back.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Look, there are enough women in the world for you to stop thirsting after someone who's just not right for you

If you're geeky you need a girlfriend that at least vibes with that even if she's not into it herself for fucks sake

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Girl is super geeky, she's just mad at him for running his laptop on the TV instead of using Plex to watch torrents from his xbox like a normal person.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

A normal person would install the client on the TV, Xbox is not needed in this chain.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This requires having a smart TV.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Finding a dumb TV is challenging.
