pirating for parents that lack technical literacy? - sh.itjust.works

Hello everynyan, So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay? I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate. Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off. Things I’ve considered: - Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house - SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then Thanks, -shitass

As an end user to PLEX, I can say its just the easiest thing to do-navigation wise for your parents. We have a friend in the US that had setting up the server as a hobby but (after 4 years) finally asked for a small monthly maintenance fee. Since moving out of the US it is the only streaming service we use.

Just my 2 cents. -the pirate ship cook

Question - is there a way to make my Plex library always available without having my desktop running non-stop? My Plex downloads live on an M2 on my desktop currently.

Have to setup port forwarding to make it available outside your network.

I tried running it off my main PC for awhile, but it’s kind of a pain and impacted my gaming sessions. Moved it onto a $400 Lenovo server I got off eBay to great effect. Used unRAID to setup a simple server for it. Lots and lots of guides out there for it with a great community. Have since upgraded beyond that server, but it was a great start.
