Not more than seven though mmmkay?
- aionaiodfgnio 3y agoSounds like you need a KVM.

- 14u2c 3y agoWhy is that? With no need to handle USB a simple HDMI switch will be much more cost effective.
- rzzzt 3y agoIntroducing the MegaStick: 15 streaming services in a convenient cube!
- kayodelycaon 3y agoYou mean an Apple TV? ;)
- NicoJuicy 3y agoThat's not how it works... Those services get hidden discounts.
- kneebonian 3y agoDid you know that you could just grab an old computer slap Ubuntu on it, and get all of those services through only 1 HDMI slot?
- nehal3m 3y agoIf you want an inferior experience due to DRM you could absolutely do that. [1] Please don't grease the wheels of the attestation hype train. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/n8ilcz/4kuhd_on_linux/ https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/n8ilcz/4kuhd_on_li...
- elabajaba 3y agoAnd then be limited to 720p because you don't have the right DRM because Linux.
- arbitrage 3y agoI mean, blame is probably better assigned "because capitalism", not "because Linux".
- ndiddy 3y agoThat's assuming you get the content through the services themselves rather than through other means.
- CuriouslyC 3y agoThis right here. You're anti-consumer? Enjoy losing money with your content "monopoly"
- speedgoose 3y agoI also enjoy spending time on shady websites with scams ads and virus. That will teach Netflix and Apple.
- thefurdrake 3y agoI don't spend any time on shady websites with scams, ads, and viruses, and I surf the high seas for video content with regularity. It's very easy to do safely, and in this day and age, it beggars belief that this comment was made in good faith. Stop spreading misinformation.
- rtsil 3y agoYou can always use a switch to multiply the inputs.
- intelVISA 3y agoYou'd probably DoS your router if they're all on concurrently due to all the data exfiltration they're performing.
- nerdo 3y agoNo joke just the Amazon stick itself would accomplish that. It tries to phone home constantly, every second of every day, idle or not.
- Corrado 3y agoI can confirm (mostly). I have a FireCube and if my Internet connection goes down then I can't watch TV at all. Even the Plex server I have in my closet. It's super annoying! In fact, I'm ==this== close to ditching it and going with AppleTV. The experience is just so much better.
- arprocter 3y agoYou might be able to load VLC onto the FireCube and then enable DLNA on your Plex server Navigating DLNA in VLC isn't great, but better than nothing

- foobarian 3y agoNot sure if you're joking or not but already content is being filtered based on the client device. In my case of an Xfinity Flex TV box Plex refuses to play self-hosted content, and Amazon's app has restrictions on nested subscriptions.
- princevegeta89 3y agoI used to be like this, with a fewer number of devices. Now I eliminated them all, and I have everything under my own Jellyfin server in the cloud.
