Walmart’s Onn 4k Android TV box is perfect IMO. Costs $20
You can’t game on it, but I never had one issue streaming video

cant tell if this is sarcasm…
Android TV has freed me from watching ads at all, ever.
When I visited family I was shocked how much ads people watch, even on services they pay for
Since it’s android you can make it work how you want it to.
Install a different launcher, like Projectivy and you can make your homescreen exactly what you want, no cluttered mess of ads
Get SmartTube for youtube
change what your buttons do with TVQuickActions
My dirt-cheap $20 walmart Android TV box now looks nothing like it did when I first booted it. Completely customized to how I want it to work. I even have it set up so my Disney button makes my livingroom lights dim for movies.
I just got this and it is amazing I love that you can create ‘channels’ for your apps
being able to select from my subscriptions via SmartTube, or my media categories in Jellyfin, or whatever I want!
The original homescreen was cluttered with essentially advertisements, this is way cleaner
the sponsor-block feature is so dang nice if you watch a lot of podcasts. Sometimes it’s like 30 min of ad-reads total
Good to know!
I use SmartTube, but if they ever block it’s functionality I’ll switch to local downloads of YT videos using this
I have some homework to do now. I use jellyfin and wanted a way to do this
Does each channel show up as a show? With each video being an episode?
I used this exact guide: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487, I have Jackett and QBittorrent on the same Linux server as Jellyfin. Files are moved automatically into the media folders after downloads complete
casting from the app is not perfect, but using the Android TV app is flawless
Jellyfin + Sonarr/Radarr + Bittorrent = free personal netflix with infinite logins.
I gave logins to my whole family over the holidays and now they can watch anything they want. They just text me the name of the movie and it’s up there in 2 minutes.
Streaming is becoming just as bad as cable was. I’m done playing their games.
Hulu literally has adds on their PAID subscription… People are getting WAY too used to being butt fucked by these companies
edit: I used this guide to set it all up: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487
so they are treating computer parts like diamonds now? Faking supply shortages to increase demand, therefore prices?
Capitalism is so efficient.
Thats a fair point, i only notice it when trying to watch Korean movie. Thats not often for me, but i could see it being an issue if you use them often
You’ve completely changed my mind
You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don’t need that quality too
I highly suggest revisiting, using that guide I linked.
I gave up on my media server many times due to complexity and issues, once I set this up I can’t go back.
IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do You can see all the actors in a movie, and then see all the shows and movies I have that the actor is in. I think it’s more featured than Netflix
I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.
I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.
$0 a month…
right, Swartz totally cared about no one else…
go suck on Musk’s toes or something
the US government has blood on their hands for this one…
Once they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin (+Sonarr, Radarr, QBittorrent) and never looked back.
Automatically downloads new episodes of my favorite shows
Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.
Love this app so much. Sonarr, radarr, BitTorrent, etc all accessible in nzb360
I never buy apps, but this one was worth it
