There's too many damn streaming services these days, and all the good shows are spread out between them.

It used to be mostly just Netflix and Hulu, and you could watch almost anything between the two of them. Now each service has maybe one or two shows I like. I'm sick of having to set up new accounts and pay $15/mo just to kill maybe an hour watching one show.

Bought a 2tb external HHD. Gonna pirate whatever crap I feel like, watch it on shuffle, and HBO max and Peacock and Disney+ and all the other vultures can go cry about it.

Yeah, I'm using Transmission as a torrent client and I'm plugging in Sonarr to it to auto track and download the series I watch. It's pretty nice stuff

That's pretty sweet. Are you using any kind of front end (like the ubiquitous Plex)?

I tried Plex but didn't like having to register with a third party, so far I'm just sharing all the files in a network partition until I find something better

My annoyance with those things is that in order for them to properly analyze, categorize, and recognize your video files as the movie/tv show it is, you have to have all kinds of BS crap in the filename that makes it a pain for a human to read. My PS4 and TV can do the front end clients but I don't want to be forced to rely on them when they have native DLNA support and I can just go to the folders directly. That kind of flexibility allows you to do things like number shows, movies, and folders in the correct viewing order and you can see it at a glance. I done care about the year, the encoding, and all that other useless crap that the standard lists.
