I went back years ago when a lot of media companies started pulling their stuff off Netflix in favor of creating their own platforms.
Cloudbox on a rented dedicated server, everything is automatic and things just show up in Plex.
- eptcyka 4y agoI love how horrible UX ends up wasting hardware - not that this is something to be held against people who host their own media services, I'm doing the same. But serving media is definitely a thing that scales well with centralized CDNs and other infrastructure - copying the same data to everyone's personal cloud hosted Plex implies duplicating a lot of terabytes, essentially wasting hard drive space, nobody watches their Plex troves 24/7, so the hard drives and CPUs will be idling a good amount of their life. Popcorntime was a great way to increase homebrew media distribution efficiency w.r.t. to content delivery and storage, maybe it's time it got resurected?
