My favorite platform is iTunes, because it lets you download the files for offline viewing, and removing the DRM is trivially simple.

Until the streaming services can come together to create an open, decentralized protocol, they don’t get my money.

Piracy is an accessibility issue.

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️Real debrid with Kodi. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I recently got into Real-Debrid and I've used it via Stremio. Works wonderfully but I still am uneasy about needing an account where all my activity and very likely IP addresses and all are centralised. All it takes is a single VPN fail to compromise the whole account and myself too. I guess people use the service by constantly creating new accounts and scrapping the old ones?

Need to refigure out how to do this on my roku TV since everything is going up in price next month

Plex server is my recommendation. There is a Roku TV app and I have yet to come across a device that there isn't a Plex app for. I have personally had no issues with my Plex server in the year+ I've been using it.

Fair warning, the Roku client for PLEX doesn't seem to support HDR, at least from my own testing

Does the Jellyfin?

Meh, Kodi is over complicated and bloated. Stremio, Syncler, Weyd- all are streamlined and work really well.
