I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I’m here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

    Pay for Plex and a seedbox or Usenet and be free while also having the best quality there is. I invested my money in a few HDDs and I watch from every service out there for peanuts.

      I currently use Stremio and RealDebrid, is there any tangible benefit to doing it with Plex and a seedbox instead?

        I wouldn’t pay for plex, but i definitely pay for a seedbox and have an *Arr stack with jellyfin to stream it back to the jellyfin client on my tv boxes and I love it. It’s all very automated and streamlined. I looked at streamio once, i cant remember specifically what but it didnt satisfy half the things my seedbox could. I’m also very against paying for access to pirated content, so i don’t use usenet or debrid, but use a mix of public and private torrent trackers.

        Sorry, I don’t know those services.

        I actually don’t use Plex but Infuse, but OP is not in iOS so I went with that recommendation. You can also build your own “seedbox” if you are willing to have a server running 24/7 and have an ok internet. That’s my setup.

        For me the benefit is 4K remuxes from top tier release groups (like Framestor) . If you can get there with your setup, I don’t really see a drawback.

          You don’t need a crazy server either. I got a cheap Intel Celeron motherboard for mine. Peaks at 10w and just hangs out streaming music and videos to our phones.

          Perfect for <10 people.

        If public trackers offer you anything you want then not really. For me, I also sometimes use stremio and RD but most things aren’t available in my language. That’s why I now mainly use Usenet/private trackers and jellyfin
