TheImpressiveXFive Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
slurpinderpinI run a massive streaming service too, which is always way bigger than all the streamers combined. It’s just only distributed over my private home network. Jellyfin for the win!
Love my Jellyfin server, but I have 2 gripes over just using VLC.
-
Can’t use the scroll wheel for volume. It’s a pain aiming for the volume from across the room on the couch.
-
JF won’t boost volume past 100% like VLC.
Know of any fixes?
ripcordIt’s weird to me that anyone would use a PC hooked up to a TV from a couch in 2024, but I’m sure it (otherwise) works for you.
Why is weird?
Instead of using a streaming or other settop device? That’d be far, far more normal for the use cade.
TrickDacyI have one of those Google streaming devices but I hate giving up my privacy. Also, I saw fast food ads on the device’s home screen one day and I couldn’t disable those. That was the last straw.
So now I use a raspberry pi 5 running arch with Firefox to stream everything to my TV. I even got a remote working with it that works fairly well, moves the mouse and everything. It was a lot of work but now I own my experience and don’t have to give Google my data in that particular way anymore.
