As someone who used to run a Plex server and a jellyfin server for myself (not at the same time) I'd have to agree with the sentiment. If I were trying to provide it for my less techy friends/family I'd go Jellyfin again. But for just me? Video files + samba fileshare all the way. Even lets me play the videos on my phone.

Stremio + torrentio + real debrid

I'd recommend Torbox or other debrid as Real-Debrid is under DMCA Anti Piracy Filters.

It appears its effects are invisible from now but you can expect visible changes in service in the long run.

Oh snap. I just paid for 6 months. Time to start looking into my options for when it expires.

Premiumize is good, and supports Usenet too (which is very useful for rare/unpopular content)

Thanks, I've actually been looking and that was probably my top contender so far, so it's nice to see it suggested. Twice as expensive as real Debrid is a tough sell though if I'm honest, and that's assuming I get the year upfront.

Decisions, decisions...

They do have Black Friday sales that make it a bit cheaper.

Ah nice. Assuming it doesn't break real Debrid will get me through to September, then I can get either a couple months of that or Premiumize to get me to Nov.

Thanks for the heads up! Glad I have only been buying monthly subs for real debrid recently. Will take a look at Torbox.I have also heard good things about premiumize.

Well Torbox had its problems when lots of Real-Debrid users migrated but now it's pretty stable ! It is pricier though but, well, it's the kind of price i'm willing to pay. Oh, and Torbox indexes and streams Usenet (as far as i can tell).

For a better user experience, try Weyd + Premiumize.
