• Playon Sale Finally

  Out of curiosity, I checked to see if it would allow me to add a year to my existing yearly subscription, but that was not allowed. I expected that outcome since the playon.tv website indicated it was for new yearly subscriptions, "YOUR 1ST YEAR". Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to create a proper WEBrip?

  I have tried something like this before using obs ,i just used my phone and a usb c to hdmi cable to the capture device from phone to computer.i cant remember what I copied I just remember it was netflix and I had to start obs recording a few seconds before and after recording.i think I recorded in 1920x1080 and it worked fine.i only did it like once or twice since I discovered playon.tv .when I bought that...

• How can I remove the DRM of episodes/movies downloaded from Disney+ on Android?

  Have you looked at playon.tv it was a life saver for me when I wanted to download movies from my streaming sites I have a subscription too. It esentially just records the video in 720 or 1080 its a paid service but I find it works very well.so you might look at the other options to that have been listed here besides mine.i just wanted to add mine because it has really helped me.

• Can't cancel Playon Cloud

  This appears to open Safari to playon.tv but the page is black. Closing the page or touching the back arrow takes me back to the Playon app. I don't see any way to cancel the plan. Anybody know what to do now? Source: almost 3 years ago

• terrible quality recording

  That definitely doesn't look like a standard movie site that playon.tv supports and they'd discontinued the screen capture portion of their app a few downgrades ago. You've got a ton of apps running, perhaps even several tabs within each open browser, have you tried recording with fewer apps running to see if this changes the recording quality?

• Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?

  I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :). Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?

  I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?

  You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free. Source: 10 months ago

• Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.

• media server, bring old days and share with friends

  I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :). Source: 10 months ago
