  • I’m a hater too so I get the desire to criticize, but I’m wondering why these posts aren’t made to a Jellyfin community, one of which exists on this same instance. It looks like it could use the activity, unless I’m missing that there are rules against it.

    I like Plex and don’t want to change, so all these “lol Plex sucks use Jellyfin/Emby” comments on posts are just annoying. I wouldn’t say anything if it only happened sometimes, but it’s so often now. There’s a place for you - please, for the love of media servers, go there.


  • I can only see myself using this if they make new titles available between the time of the theatrical release and the BluRay release.

    I don’t go to the movies much - I saw The Boy and the Heron last month, but before that was Tenet. Sometimes I will want to watch something that’s in theatres but not on streaming or BluRay - this could fill that niche, if they wanted it to.

    If not… I can wait and download it my usual way.






  • No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.

    I don’t intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn’t follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.

    Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a “really long time” to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b




  • I’ve never had that issue with Piped or Invidious, though sometimes I’ve had a specific instance not load. There are literal dozens of instances though.

    However, I’ve had numerous issues with Bluestacks and it’s a huge memory hog, not to mention it’s overkill to install an entire OS just for 1 singular purpose that can be done just fine on your native OS.

    It’s a layer of abstraction that’s almost entirely unnecessary except for 1 use case: watching YouTube without ads.
