>>214395449

I really dont give a fuck at this point, I use randomly generated passwords and 2fa on important shit like email and banking. after that who cares

>>214395487

plex and sex

Is there some kind of mini PC OS I can use where I don't connect it online at all? Just the equivalent of having a bunch of HDDs connected to my TV with a Netflix menu?

>>214396320
Kodi

>>214396382
Can it be used as its own OS or does it need to be on top of something else?

>>214395811
You should have put "say" at the end of that sentence. Hope this helps.

>>214396424
yes, look into LibreELEC or OSMC

>>214396608
Thanks, those seem like good options. Props, man.

I have it running on a Raspberry Pi.

oh no, they got my hashed password!!!!

>>214397353
cope

>>214396320
Like the other anon said, Kodi if you just want a self contained solution. I'd recommend Jellyfin if you want a client/server model that you have complete control of that lets you store all your media on one device and stream it to all your other devices over your local network, or even over the internet if you're willing to jump through some hoops.

I personally prefer something like Jellyfin because it lets me keep the noisy bits in a completely different room from my TV.

Im not using jellyfin. Stop trying

Nobody asked. Besides Tubi >>> whatever the fuck else

tubi is not a media server, dummy

Can I install this on an android TV? Planning on getting one next month

>>214398909
yes, but don't buy a TV because of the OS. Buy it for the picture quality. You can always buy a box for it later. The built-in TV OS usually sucks, especially on cheaper tvs.

>>214398935
Yup, planning to get one with good pic quality first. Wanted to sideload apps too like Flud to torrent stufd directly to the TV. Would Kodi be a good companion to play the the download media files from Flud

>>214396542
MUCH APPRECIATED SAAR

1) Don't worry about the TV OS at all. It can have Roku, FireTV, doesn't matter. You can always add an Android TV box.

2) Torrent to your PC and then just stream the files to your TV. Your TV or box won't have enough space for video. You can use Jellyfin, Kodi, or Nova.

I dont want to add any additional hardware to sideload apps

I am planning to just get like 256GB or 512GB memory stick and use that as a storage device for all the torrent files and even sideloaded apps if the TV memory isnt suicient

>>214399149
>I dont want to add any additional hardware to sideload apps
Except the hardware on a cheap TV sucks and I doubt you will buy a top of the line TV.

USB Sticks die fast when plugged into a TV all the time. Just store stuff on your PC and stream directly to your TV and buy more storage for the PC.

I have a potato laptop that will hit a decade in a couple of years. Dont really want to stream it from a PC. I might get a new PC sometime next year if I am able to save up enough money for it though I am considering getting a console first.

I moved to a new place and would like to wait no more than a month to get a new TV. Was hoping to torrent and play movies directly out of this new TV since my laptop has started lagging a lot. I have a limited budget even till next year so this is what I was willing to live with,

I understand your suggestions would provide me a better experience but my circumstances and budget is restricting me for the time being

>>214394986 (OP)

if you've ever used the internet they have your info

>>214399384
I have a stick I stick directly into my 10 year old Roku TV after torrenting and it works like a charm. Been doing it for 5+ years. Just codecs could get fucky direct from stick I have to be sure I download x264 not x265. It's a great half measure if you don't want to futz with a server yet

>>214399384
>I have a potato laptop that will hit a decade in a couple of years. Dont really want to stream it from a PC.
Trust me, its easier than using a USB stick. Won't lag no matter how much you stream.

> Was hoping to torrent and play movies directly out of this new TV since my laptop has started lagging a lot.
I've been where you are, pal and it doesn't work well the way you're planning. You're complicating things for no reason. Torrenting to the TV box is a pain. All you have to do is install Jellyfin on the laptop, stream video to the TV and you're done. You can also use SMB to stream video from the laptop. If you want to make your laptop faster, you can just buy an SSD instead of an HDD, and then you can just move the SSD to the new laptop. I used to be near broke and I wish I had just done that back then. Try to consider it.

>I have to be sure I download x264 not x265. It's a great half measure if you don't want to futz with a server yet

Maybe x265 would play with a better media player?

>>214399491
>if you don't want to futz with a server yet
A "server" is just installing Jellyfin on your laptop. Much easier than plugging a USB stick into your TV. I don't know why people plug USB sticks to their TV anymore.

>>214399525
I'm sure the "Roku Media Player" firmware could use an update but like I said it's a 10 year old tv and it still just werx™ even better than nee models because it loads less ads because it's so old kek

>>214399526
We're really splicing ball hairs about what's "easier". Nothing is "difficult" in current year it's really just what you want to do.

HDMI chads stay winning.

>>214399625
you hired a hooker just to take that pic?

>illegally download 500 TB of media for free
>PAY someone to organize it for you with your credit card and save a permanent record of your illegal theft on unsecured third party servers FOREVER and save a permanent record of every IP used to connect to the service and what illegally downloaded shows you watched FOREVER
Yep sounds really smart.

>>214399625
I personally don't like the aesthetics of attaching a smaller device especially with a display to be attache to a larger display of the TV

>>214399064
You’re the Indian one for being an illiterate retard

>>214399770
They're "pirates" but can't wait to show off how much money they spend to consooom, like with plex and private trackers. In the end they are just failed normies.

>>214399770
Real pirates use shit like jellyfin plex is for Normie retards

My passwords automatically change 4 times a day. I login through copy paste. I get the copy paste login code through an encrypted key stored on a device disconnected from the Internet.

>>214400036
I dont really store much stuff over a long period. I regularly purge content that I havent touched for months. Even if I do need to watch it again then I would just retorrent it

Whats the worst that can happen? I get some additional spam to add to my other mountain of spam email?
Who ever considers paying to use free software, I don't get it

>>214400140
The only time I ever got an email from my ISP for being a bad boy was for downloading Game of Thrones season 8 episodes and that was a thousand centuries ago.

Well shit, give me a better option then. I refuse to buy a smart tv, i'm good with my dumb tech.
Currently using plex through my ps4 and it's garbage, but still better than nothing.
