I’m wondering about what your piracy workflow looks like.
- Where do you find what shows/films to watch?
- Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?
- Where do you store media?
- What software are you using to watch it?
- How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?
I have Netflix and Disney+ (through family) and it already drives me crazy to remember where which show is available, download quality sucks, shows get delisted halfway through watching them. Sometimes multiple seasons even are across multiple streaming services. (I was very sad before I discovered there were more than 4 seasons of Adventure Time). I even want to pay for the production of good media, but streaming services make it a really hard sell 🤬
I know that the -arr suite with jellyfin is a pretty nice workflow, but I’m not into self hosting (yet).
5·2 days ago- I hear something there or from my friends. It’s funny, but our small Lemmy did make me watch a bunch of stuff, not by posts mostly but by references in comments. MOTHERLAND NEEDS YOU TO MAKE AT LEAST ONE MOVIE REFERENCE PER COMMENT;
- I manually download it via qB and keep it seeding OR find it in VK if I’m short on time and it’s there. I don’t care about quality since I have shit for sight and can’t care, but I know how russian dub can either save or ruin things and not having a choice makes me avoid all streaming platfroms altogether, not to say what shitty companies own them and how their contemporary local-produced suggestion are irrelevant to me;
- It sits on my non-system larger hard drive. I put it onto some USB stick to take it to where I can watch it with others;
- On Win it’s MPC-HC\VLC, on Linux it’s VLC mostly. I’m still in a search of a Linux player that can find and play external subs and dubs itself without me clicking around;
- Usually, just from my memory. Sometimes I put notes or send messages to myself at what point I stopped.
