For things I really love, I buy second hand dvds or Blu-ray's, rip them with makemkv, transcode with an ffmpg script, and serve with Plex. I now have nearly 1000 movies and some TV series.
I have Netflix (for me and wife) and Disney+ (for kids) most of the time, and add other services temporarily if there's something on them I really want to watch, and then cancel.
I never rent or buy online content, I'd rather buy second hand media and add it to Plex.
- benjaminwootton 3y agoI can see the appeal of this. DVDs are very cheap in charity shops nowadays and I think you would value the content more if you searched for it in the real world, bought it and ripped it manually.
