Just rage canceled Paramount+ after seeing the 1 minute of unstoppable ads before each episode.
Then they’ll say people don’t want to pay for content…ffs
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee
Shiver me timbers at Hollywood’s greed.
(For the recond i don’t know what that means…)
Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free.
DM me if you need help setting something up to replace it
I appreciate it. I’m trying to get familiar with rss and the sort. I am just a bit scared of the rabbit hole where I’ll end up dedicating a whole room of the house to selfhosting lol
I’ve dedicated one single machine to self hosting and I never plan on increasing that. It’s just one big beefy hunk that has a shitty CPU and lots of RAM and HDD space.
Sonarr/Radarr/qBit/Plex is all that’s needed. I pay $5/mo ($15/3mo) for AirVPN and that’s all.
Im doing similar with Usenet and indexers.
Automating downloading of new stuff is so much easier. Toss in overseerr with Plex authenticated requesting… You never have to touch it. Tis amazing
You got any tutorials for that? I’ve been interested in setting something like that up for my own media library but just haven’t gotten around to it. Might make for a fun weekend project.
Snag you a micropc from Amazon for like $150 and an external HDD and you’ll be golden. Selfhosting can be as small as you want. Hell sometimes I wish I had a tiny PC and a couple of 18tb externals.
Good luck op
For us, we have to watch the unskippable ad during Star Trek Picard, then it jumps back 10 minutes in the episode so we need to fast forward to get back to our place. This has been going on for several episodes.
That’s what you get for paying for Paramount+.
I never paid for Paramount+ because when they would have free trials, it would give me “content unavailable” errors for literally everything I wanted to watch. So I just pirate all the Trek. Fuck Paramount.
In Canada it’s a half bastardized app that’s an add on to the Amazon Prime App. Like tier inside of it. On a FireCube when trying to click on anything Paramount+ advertised on the home screens it takes one to the US full App only which won’t load due to the Geo lock for outside the US.
One needs to go into Prime to then find the shows. It’s a bit of a shit show and one of the first subs I cancelled in a line of them recently.
We got a skippable 30 second ad, then the Paramount logo, then watched 2 seasons of Star Trek strange New worlds without a single ad.
You sure you didn’t just hair trigger yourself there?
I still think you shouldn’t have video ads in a paid streaming service. Even if it’s just a single ad during a watch session. It shouldn’t be there when you’re paying to see the content
It happened on 2 episodes in a row, with over a minite wait until the episode. Both times the same ad, which makes it even worse, for a 20 min episode of lower decks. I’m sensitive to commercials when I’m already paying premium.
