    Why go with a server instead of streaming, these days? I’m genuinely curious.

    Edit: guys, I’m asking a question. Why the downvotes? Also, I’m not talking about PAID streaming.

      Because what I want to watch is spread across 17 different streaming services. Of course you can buy digitally… But then there’s no guarantee they won’t take that back out of your account. Or edit it later on when they decide something is offensive like happened when I bought the office on Vudu.

      How you dare to go against Jellyfin in Lemmy, not even Plex stands a chance /s

      To answer your question, you actually can use both, as I do.

      Plex for more “obscure” content and to enrich my own TV m3u playlist with DizqueTV and Stremio and Kodi with Real Debrid for everything else, if I have a legal streaming service is because it is being borrowed to me lol, I’m more than served with my means.
