Show of your Piracy Workflow (Movie/TV) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm wondering about what your piracy workflow looks like.

  1. Where do you find what shows/films to watch?
  2. Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?
  3. Where do you store media?
  4. What software are you using to watch it?
  5. How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?

I have Netflix and Disney+ (through family) and it already drives me crazy to remember where which show is available, download quality sucks, shows get delisted halfway through watching them. Sometimes multiple seasons even are across multiple streaming services. (I was very sad before I discovered there were more than 4 seasons of Adventure Time). I even want to pay for the production of good media, but streaming services make it a really hard sell 🤬

I know that the -arr suite with jellyfin is a pretty nice workflow, but I'm not into self hosting (yet).

Thanks. I'll check it out. The downloaded files were 35GB for 1080p resolution. Don't know what the hell it was doing.

It’s was grabbing the very first file that matched the name, is what. That’s one of the things you will be configuring for the Trash guides. I prefer the best quality possible, since I’m downloading to a NAS. But if you’re downloading to a desktop, they also tell you how to search for media that’s of a reasonable size. For 1080p, suspect you’ll be grabbing high-quality files that are 15-20gb for a movie.
