watching pirated streaming sucks compared to OG torrent way (lemmy.ml)

Sometimes I’m just too lazy for torrenting because downloading whole 8 seasons when I want to watch series is kinda off. Whenever I give chance to streaming it’s always low quality and sucks. I checked streaming links on reddit’s r/piracy, you know the wiki, year is 2025 and it’s still slow and sucks. Maybe I don’t know good sites. Can you link me up, and what do you think about streaming vs torrent way in general? Thanks guys.

Feel free to use mine https://jfin.gravitywell.xyz/

Create an account using this invite code: ARRLEM so I know you came from Lemmy

For best results uss a browser or client thar supports HEVC and AV1.

There is jellyseerr for requests, its hooked to both usenet and various private trackers.

OMG, that's an amazing effort. Definitely saving it!

thank you!! How can I buy you a coffee?

[–] gravitywell 3 points 3 weeks ago

I suppose the easiest way is probably ko-fi

There is also librepay and some crypto addresses options listed on the bottom of the main page https://gravitywell.xyz/ if you prefer that.

Thank you very much! Unfortunately after confirming the information in the signup dialog, it says "Please wait" and hangs. Is it me?

Edit: It works on the second try on the computer, thanks again

You absolute madlad!! Thank you for providing this. I am in the middle of migrating to a new home server and as part of that process, moving away from Plex to Jellyfin. This will be a big help in testing things out and figuring out the idea setups for my use case (like streaming to Apple TVs) ahead of the actual migration. Not to mention some great ideas for movies to snag I wasn't aware of ;) Sending a couple of coffees your way!!

It looks like we have a fairly similar library size and I've always wanted to be able to offer something like this to folks as a way for giving back for all the years of media I've been able to gather and enjoy - but I have never felt confident enough in my networking skills to let the vast majority of my services see anything outside of the LAN, let alone provide it to other people. I hope with this new lab environment I am going for I can get to that point, but if you have any pointers I am all ears! 😀 Thanks again, matey!

Invalid Code :(

[–] gravitywell 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

oops, I set it to a one time use and someone used it. New one (ARRLEM) should work for everyone now. Valid for 1 month as of this posting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks dude, that's very generous!

I mostly use other method/services, but was looking at trying out Jellyfin.

Being able to see your server makes it easy to see an example of how it works.

Thanks again!

How does your create account system with invite codes work? Is jellyfin tied to another system for account management?

[–] gravitywell 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm using WizARR for the invite system, it links directly into jellyfin.

This is a gem, I've had my plex server for a few years now and the hardest part was getting some older friends on it, this seems to streamline that, I appreciate you
