And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg....
(And that "watch similar movies" thing can go to hell too)
ETA:
Jellyfin is great, yes.
And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg…
Because they took an arm and a leg and didn't leave us with enough to get high quality prosthetics.
Try living in a small country, there's tons of stuff like that.
My wife and I moved into our first house together on Halloween, 1995, so that night we drank a bottle of champagne, watched Young Frankenstein, and handed out candy. Every year since then we've done the same thing to celebrate our anniversary of living together, though sometime a different movie. This year, we couldn't find our DVD, so decided to stream it and found what you did. Apparently Disney bought it and for some reason decided not to make it available. Very frustrating.
I have the DVD. It's somewhere in the pile.
I need to one day develop a DVD/BR/book catalogue app to get even vague idea about what exactly is on my shelves and boxes. It has long since gone unmanageable. At least I know what's my next major project after NaNoWriMo.
I did the math and with current HDD prices it’s legit cheaper to rip DVDs as 1:1 copies and store them on a NAS vs buying the shelf space my 1000+ movies and TV shows would need.
I’ll keep physical copies of the rares and classics, but the rest will be donated after I’ve digitised them.
I started with the movies, but I only had about 60 DVDs. I start ripping one on Saturday morning, then go do something else. Easy peasy and jellyfin does the rest.
Don your pirate hat and sail the high seas, matey. Arrr.
The solution is there... but it will take time for normie core to require this vital skill that was lost due to netflix.
Remember folks, media is 100% discretionary spend, if corpo does not give you the service you need, it is well within your ability to punish the parasite's profit ;)
A friend showed me their workflow for piracy and it's really incredible just how easy it all is. Literally just download an OVPN config from whatever VPN provider you subscribe to, connect to the VPN and search in qbittorrent (and use the link in qbittorrent to download the necessary search plugins)
Like obviously this is a few decades of software refinement, legal battles plus a fair amount of large companies turning a blind eye to the obvious. So it's shoulders of giants and all but it's still kinda jarring
If you think qbittorrent is impressive you should see someone streaming from Kodi or Stremio +Real-Debrid or some other debrid service. Its how streaming TV and movies should be.
key here is the decentralized model. if you note how they are always going after other corpos or institutions to enforce their "property" rights. there is no effective way to go after global population on individual basis. they tried suing people in the US but that backfired as public opinion sided with grandmas lol
fedi is already using this approach. that's the only effective way for plebs to send a message.. vote with your feet, find services that respect you. anything less than that is an extraction/exploitation racket. most key industries work like that and there is no recourse for things like housing, education, and healthcare.
Just as an fyi - people are still getting successfully sued on US soil when trackable (someone didn't use VPN)
Also why I invested in the hardware and software for Blu-ray ripping. I now have a Pioneer drive in a USB enclosure, and can now rip even 4K Blu-rays from any region. So many special features I was missing out on, though a lot of disc releases are cheaping out on them these days.
Only annoying part about ripping is the freaking maze of playlists on many Blu-rays, especially for Special Features, and none of the player software I've tried yet has a feature to tell you what playlist and video file you're currently watching. So you basically have to rip everything and then check each video file afterwards.
That's simply unacceptable. I have a copy, but that's still unacceptable that you can't stream a film that amazing anywhere legally.
I’ve been snapping up DVDs of every film I care about over the last five years. Especially the holiday films since you know they’re going to hold those hostage.
My point yes, thanks. Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?
My kids will probably never buy a dvd player but you can bet I'm showing them how to find things like this regardless.
It's pronounced Igor.
Lol I know you meant that as Igor, but I totally ready that as Igor at first
Sorry, I have terrible penmanship.
Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.
Oh no I fell on the keyboard and this link appeared.
Netflix selection has gotten worse and worse.
Oh no, I also did that thing you did and randomly generated a streaming link

Netflix has virtually no older movies

There don't seem to be any active datahoarder communities on lemmy, but looks like we could use some.
I've seen the self hosted community. As well as an audio book bay poster, that needs an account though.
I am nowhere near an expert so I'd be hesitant to start one. I'm not one of the crazies using a RAID with its own dedicated back up lol.
Will post setup on the self hosted instance and see if it's applicable.
If you have your own domain name+control over the DNS entries, a cute trick you can use for Jellyfin is to set up a fully qualified DNS entry to point to your local (private) IP address.
So, you can have jellyfin.example.com point to 192.168.0.100 or similar. Inaccessible to the outside world (assuming you have your servers set up securely, no port forwarding), but local devices can access.
This is useful if you want to play on e.g. Chromecast/Google TV dongle but don't want your traffic going over the Internet.
It's a silly trick to work around the fact that these devices don't always query the local DNS server (e.g., your router), so you need something fully qualified
but a private IP on a public DNS record works just fine!
I feel the need to point out that some dns servers block this. In piHole for example, you need to allow this. Some Routers do it too.

Couple things I've tried to watch recently that I couldn't find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they're available on physical media).
Basketball Diaries
Less Than Zero
Very annoying.
I've never heard of Very Annoying. Is it good?
It's three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.
Try to find the movie Parents. It's almost impossible. Eating Raoul too.
Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.
I think it's either:
YAHARRR!!! DON'T BE SO QUICK TO LOSE HOPE YOUNG SAILOR!!!! For the riches you seek are not far away!!!
