It probably also had better user experience than all of them

[–] dan@upvote.au 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

That's the thing about all the pirate apps (apps like Weyd, Syncler, the now-defunct TVZion, etc). They're made by people that actually care, not by companies that are only in it for the money. The user experience is usually a lot better. One of those apps plus a Real Debrid subscription and you're set.

Where should I go to learn more about what you're talking about

[–] Setnof@feddit.de 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’ve heard that you can download stuff from filmfans.org and serienfans.org with jdownloader. Reportedly it’s then possible to host it locally on your own Synology NAS and use Infuse on your Apple TV for a magnificent user experience.

Rumor has it that apps that use Real Debrid are way easier to use since you can just go to a TV show and watch it. Even a non technical person can use apps like Weyd. Real Debrid supposedly caches torrents on their server so you can instantly stream them over an encrypted connection.

Sounds like reliable hearsay

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 5 months ago

So that I can avoid using them. Od course

[–] dan@upvote.au 4 points 5 months ago

I've heard that Google might have information about Real Debrid and apps that support it. I cannot confirm or deny this myself.

He is saying that people that get rich selling others people’s stuff without paying for it are not “in it for the money”. What don’t you understand.

It's amazing how I can run a better streaming service from my basement than the ones I pay for.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Start servicing millions of users. Then we’ll talk.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

If they're servicing that many users their UX should be better, but it's not. Search should work better, but it doesn't. They should let me make playlists, but they don't.

Yes, scale is hard but it shouldn't be hard to put a clock in the pause screen showing me what time the show will be done. And that's just a tiny way Plex is better.
