And fuck. I really miss plex. I've had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won't let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn't save my watched episodes. Doesn't mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues.

Wanted to add no ad Disney to the Hulu for some Doctor Who. Only the add supported is available through Hulu. So I'd have to cancel, wait for the month to end and sign up via Disney. Deal with ads or pay almost double the duo plan costs, or include ESPN, and honestly fuck sports.

What is so difficult about just providing a decent service for a fair price? Why is plex like a decade ahead of the streaming UI's? I'm trying to give you fucks money and you're making it extremely difficult.

For ~100€, through a Raspberry Pi, you can stream 4K60p to your TV. From there, you are the sole master of the seas, Captain.

I'll get the pc fixed. Pi is being used for pihole currently. Do you need a Nas to connect the pi to the hdd that have the video files? Been a while since I messed with the pi, but I don't remember there being sata connections, or if there is, I have 3 hdd that would need to be connected.

I just recently got myself a Pi 4 8GB for €86 on Amazon, a barely used 10TB IronWolf NAS HDD for €120 on eBay, and an HDD enclosure for €20 that powers the HDD and plugs into the Pi via USB3. Currently it's running Plex Media Server, qBittorrent, Wireguard, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Caddy, and a few monitoring containers. It's handling all of that easily. I'm using it headless and just stream content to my TV. Currently I have no redundancy for my drive, but I'll get around to that eventually.

You can of course keep using PiHole for your setup. I recommend you check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world and r/selfhosted.

You don't even need to buy a microsd card anymore because they now ship with the firmware that can boot from USB.
