    I’m heading back to it.

    The streaming was sort of OK, and now it’s wank. Spread across dozens of services, that don’t have enough content to justify their existence. No UI linking them all together means you have no idea if something is available or not without checking justwatch.com

    If music was like this, I’d pirate that too.

      Doesn’t plex have an UI for all of them? I use plex to watch my media and I saw an option to add your streaming services.

        I think that’s just doing the Justwatch style thing. It’s a start, but it’s not a true integration.

        Sad thing is, I’m pretty sure Netflix used to encourage you to make your own UI for it. Then they blocked it all.

          The Plex watchlists seemed stupid and pointless to me…until someone pointed out you can subscribe to your Plex watchlist in Radarr/Sonarr. Now, I can watch trailers on Plex, add stuff, and it shows up automatically when released. Super convenient.

      At least Chromecast for TV basically does this. I can search for something and it will tell me all the ways I can watch for any installed app even unsubscribed.

      Still, the issue of paying multiple monthly fees to see what you want is ludicrous. It’s as if the media companies maliciously complied with consumers’ desire to pick and choose what they watch rather than pay $200 a month for 1000 stations they don’t watch.

      Now, you have to pay $200 to get all the services that have what you want to watch - and you still have to sift through the drek.

      Much better, that. /s

          The more the merrier!

          Personally, if I’m interested in quality I think downloading is the way to go.

          Streaming is great for its accessibility.
