Is there a way to get decent output for drmed up crap (which is rather a lot of the video content most people want to watch) on Linux these days? Last I heard, you can't get 4k on Netflix and presumably also get the shaft from other streaming providers.

- thfuran 3y agoBut then you're probably going to want to set up a bunch of *arrs and a nas, and things are looking less and less like a straightforward alternative to an appletv.
- julianlam 3y ago> *arrs and a nas You may be complicating things. I make do with a 1TB hard drive and SFTP over LAN. Old tech works just as well.
- thfuran 3y agoSo you manually search for and download videos, manually curate your collection (including somewhat frequently clearing out space for new things), and manually keep track of what episode you're on in what show? That really does not work just as well.
- noir_lord 3y agoDon't even need SFTP, http works fine with VLC :) Literally just download your torrents into a web root that is set to list indexes, copy the link into VLC and go :).
- noir_lord 3y agoI just drop mp4's/mkv's in a web root - you can play those in VLC with no issues. VLC runs on everything anyone in my house cares about, it's so simple no one has an issue with it.
