      Once they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin (+Sonarr, Radarr, QBittorrent) and never looked back.

      Automatically downloads new episodes of my favorite shows

      Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.

        I have jellyfin but Netflix is more reliable and convenient. It’s just that recently it’s really hard to find anything interesting on Netflix anyway so this Twitter BS is just like the last drop…

          IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do You can see all the actors in a movie, and then see all the shows and movies I have that the actor is in. I think it’s more featured than Netflix

          I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.

          I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.

          $0 a month…

            I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn’t able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there’s just one language and that’s it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I’m interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.

              You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don’t need that quality too

              I highly suggest revisiting, using that guide I linked.
              I gave up on my media server many times due to complexity and issues, once I set this up I can’t go back.

          They banned password sharing (family account) if everyone doesn’t live in the same location sometime ago.

            I don’t see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It’s not a bait and switch or something.

                If you subscribed to Netflix because you planned on sharing password and you think it’s not worth the full price then the moment you can’t share your password anymore and you cancel it. No money lost, you used it for some time and now you don’t use it. What’s the problem? Did you get addicted to it? It’s not cigarettes. Seriously, it’s entertainment and people talk about it like its insulin.

                I wasn’t sharing my password with anyone so I didn’t care about the policy change.

                    Yes, corporation raise prices when they think people are willing to pay higher price for their product. Is this news to you? Where do you live? I would like to move there and live happily without ever knowing how the world functions and worrying about it.

              Ssh we’re mad at netflix, you’re not supposed to be defending them…

              Shm yeah netflix may be scum, but enforcing password sharing policies, which had been part of the EULA from day 1, isn’t scummy.

                They marketed 4 streams. Not 4 seats. [And only getting 1 seat 4 times, which is fucking pointless.] That’s a whole different meaning. No one reads the EULA so it doesn’t fucking matter what horse shit Naziflix puts in the fine print.

            Yeah, but just a reason to re-evaluate if the content they have is worth the money. It’s not like they have some moral obligation to keep the prices low. I don’t see it as a dick move. I don’t have any other video streaming subscriptions so it wasn’t a big difference for me.

        Because they we’re really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It’s a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it’s not worth it.

          I’d argue it’s not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but limiting your access to only one IP adress preventing password sharing definitely is a dick move.

            Well, that’ really depends if you like their content or not, right?

            Also, they don’t limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.

              Define “different geographical equations”. Can you still share it with a friend? I thought they prevented that.

                No, you define “limiting access to one IP”. Because they don’t do that. It’s not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.
