Honestly, jellyfin is the way to go, though. At least it's just you hating yourself and not a whole company and ad machine hating you too, like with plex.

Either works. Plex is heavy down the enshitification path but is great for remote access sharing. And Jellyfin is harder to get hardware transcoding going well and the clients aren't as good and it's very insecure to run for remote access (basically you need to VPN into your home network instead of public remote access).

edit: fixed "so secure" to "insecure"

They bought tubi too which is a damn shame.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 1 points 6 days ago

they owned a part of roku at that time, and were forced to sell that to buy tubi.

now that FOX news corp(not disney fox) will likely use roku to peddle scams and right wing propaganda, you should throw it away.

I watch TV over antenna, and my Roku TV has a great interface for that. Antenna is just a simple tile right next to my other inputs or apps. It has a nice guide so I can see what's on, and I can pause and rewind. Is there any other TV or device that offers this convenience?

I really would like to switch because my Roku TVs are constantly freezing and crashing and have to be rebooted.

This is a space that needs alternative. I use Nvidia shield but it defaults to Googles home page so I see ads

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

roku was pretty much the only viable 'alternative' to the big companies and studios. didn't even need a credit card (nocc link) or to reveal personal details other than an email for an account (for the devices)-could watch free stuff without a login with the browser. if you did pay for stuff, you can sub to several other services through roku (kinda like how prime does it).

fox was actually forced to sell its stake in roku when it bought tubi a few years ago. that should be enough right there to say fu go away, but ofc this admin will conveniently ignore that fact and give roku and its ~ 150 million screens to the propaganda machine that is fox.

Who are they kidding? It's been years since they started scanning everything you were watching to inject ads into it. If people were happy with that, they're happy with this.

Ditched my roku with the policy change that required agreeing, or no access to the device. It went in the bin.

Roku was trash from day one, the original advertelevision, i cant fathom what person it would make sense for, just people falling for marketing but it really doesn't make sense to buy one or even accept it as a gift -- but idk people also buy amazon sticks which are basically convert your tv to a roku device. Idk man people are dumb and scumbags take advantage wcyd

The epitome of capitalism. Cancer sucks everything.
