Hello everynyan,

So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that's okay?

I'm recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.

Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don't want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.

Things I've considered:

  • Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
  • SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then

Thanks, -shitass

Cheap android TV box running kodi. Media on usb hard drive.

Don't buy those boxes, they're a ripoff at best and funding real crime at worst.

Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I'm about to buy an Android box.

Is there some cheap android device conspiracy I should be aware of?
