Disney Raises Prices for Streaming Services by as Much as 27% - Lemmy.world - Geddit

Sounds like they’re removing 4K from the standard plan and moving it to the new premium plan. Fuck you Disney!

There’s a premium plan? Here in Australia, we still just have the one monthly plan, which they recently increased by $3 per month.

If they jump onto the “premium” plan bandwagon like the others, and move 4K to that, this will literally be the final streaming service for me to drop. I’ve already dropped all the others. Only reason I kept this is because the sheer volume of content for my wife and daughter makes the $13 worthwhile - I just don’t have enough storage space (yet) to deliver all that via my Plex setup.

Use stremio instead

I’ve seen a few people mention Stremio lately. What’s the tldr; in terms of benefits?

I went through a fair amount of “adjustment”, getting my family to use Plex and Overseerr (replacing Kodi and “ask Dad to get it”), so I’d want to have some compelling reasons to change things on them again.

I actually started using Stremio today because of what this guy said. I never heard of it. It’s definitely easy to use, but requires some setting up with plugins. Without the right plugin (torrentio) you won’t be able to stream anything without being told to use a subscription service. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to get the plugin. I just watched Evil Dead: Rise and I had plenty of options for streaming it. Considering how I canceled my Netflix subscription a little while ago it’s nice to have a reliable replacement. I mean, it’s even better than Netflix. Lots of new movies and shows to watch. I hope this thing lasts a long time because it’s just what I was looking for.
Nice dude you can install the plugin “cyberflix” so you get streaming catalogs that you can scroll through in discovery.
stremio has gotten a lot worse quality wise since rarbg went down. it doesnt seem to scrape torrentgalaxy correctly and i have no idea how to fix it
