yeah i'm not sure i'll ever fully get used to this whole cloud streaming thing; my hoarding instinct learned from having patchy & slow dialup as a teenager is just too strong

constant access to all previous content is the hoarder mindset

media is a commodity and if one particular thing isn't available you can watch something else

media hoarding is a lovely way of life imo

Not being able to watch any full SNL episode from 1975 to 2001 because NBC is too cheap to pay music licensing fees is no way to live life either.

The media is sitting on a device that's the size of two decks of cards. How is digital hoarding even remotely a bad thing wtf

I don't necessarily always want to watch Portlandia or The Mindy Project

this is why netflix and amazon are banking hard on producing their own content, nobody wants to give them good stuff anymore because they want you to pay for cbs now or whatever the gently caress to watch season one of the bing bog the ray

so gently caress it, download everything

I just got Amazon Cloud Drive and pointed Plex to a mount of it. A bit wonky but does work, can play unlimited Linux ISO's

incidentally does anyone know the best way to have plex deal with multiple cuts of the same movie? 'cause i have both the pizza hut and taco bell versions of demolition man

plex still can't be bothered to take advantage of any kind of hardware transcoding features, but it looks like Emby has no problems using Quick Sync.

someone called Plex out on not complying with the GPL for FFMPEG, and their response was just to hire him.

no no. there's three levels that i know of:

free - you can watch new shows, on computers only, at low res, with ads
plus - you can watch everything they have to offer on all sorts of devices, with ads
plus, no ads - plus, but no ads
