>bro, you just have to type this IP address and port into your browser, it's just a long number string, bro its easy
One time this girl in high school told me she liked a TV show so I pirated the whole thing and gave it to her on a USB stick. Literally never talked to her again
>I feel like i'm not smart enough to use plex.
Dawg, its really not that hard at all. You have to go to your shared libraries and then under there select the category of content you want to look at. Like man, if thats too much for you, I don't know how you make it in the real world. Not trying to be mean. I just wanna understand.
Ok man. If you ain't trolling you have to do what its asking......log in.
Oh yeah and just so you know, you just leaked your friends server. You can just log in right from plex.tv and look under shared libraries. Your friend will need to grant you access to their library through access controls. You'll get an invite to your email and you'll need to accept that invite. Let your buddy know he needs to secure his fricking server.
>dumb Black person posts his ip address
Holy shit, based moron. RIP to your router.
You could've just sent an invite via email and have them create their own account
Many such cases. It's the same thing when I give people my retro video game ROM collection. I find out they played Super Mario Bros. for 5 minutes and never tried anything else.

Uh they were likely just nodding at you and pretending to go along with you sperging out. The USB stick to a girl thing is also cringe.
Today's youth will never know the joys of meeting a girl who knows nothing about music and making her a mix CD with your favorite songs on it, with your handwriting all over it that she will keep in her box of mementos as a fond memory of you and a more carefree and innocent time in her youth. A USB stick and "please give this back next week" doesn't do the same thing.
>she will keep in her box of mementos as a fond memory of you and a more carefree and innocent time in her youth
LMAO it’s going in the fricking trash after a day, are you out of your mind?
I am not the only one who accesses my server, so I try to keep current with things folks want. In that case, it is my wife with the awful taste. I think she decided it was trash after the 2nd episode though. Like I said, need to do some pruning.
>gets caught watching she-bitch >best excuse is that he has a wife
really? on Cinemaphile? dont you know what we're known for? hint, marriage is not one of them
Was pretty comfy all told. I still remember the scene where the boss guy was making pasta with a vodka sauce for the guy who delivered the list, but of course the list deliverer never showed up to share.
rewatched it a few weeks ago. the first time I saw it was before the film was made, dunno when exactly.
i was temporarily obsessed with ellen muth - probably since I was incredibly lonely and isolated.
it's really good, should have had a third series instead of the film.
the total recall 2070 series was good and cancelled, as was odyssey 5 with Peter weller.
im about to start a plex and this is what i will do to my friends. if you watch something i dont approve of not only will i roast you but three strikes and you're banned from the server.

If they have to do more than click Netflix it's too hard. You need to show them that they can select something hard to get right on their phone (using nzb360, lunasea and whatever the iPhone one is) and download it with the click (connects through your sonarr, radarr etc then into your torrent client or real debrid) You don't need to go into these gritty details but you'll need to do a bunch of hand holding to convince them it's worthwhile.
Kodi is old as hell. It started off life as XBMC. It also is just a glorified front end for video streaming sites, so niche content is often very hard to find. Its normie ass shit but if it works for you.
>Collecting files
Building a library that suits your tastes and has things you want to watch and keep. Common thing to do. >Hosting a media server
Having access to those files from anywhere, and reliable access that can't be taken away if some rights-holder decides he doesn't want XYZ movie streaming on ABC streaming service anymore. [insert xkcd piracy comic here] >Sharing with friends
Probably wouldn't make sense to a random anon on 4chins, but people who have friends generally enjoy sharing things with them, and it can lead to better discussion, new finds, etc as well.
A computer
If you're serious about it, a i3 that does quicksync (the recent ones i think) for instant transcode
your media
plex or jellyfin, plex is easier, jelly requires far more troubleshooting and tinkering, plex just werks and has a big enough community to get your issues asked and fixed

Now my mom does nothing but watch movies. She'll just binge 2-3 movies a day. She loves it. Anytime she wants a movie she'll text me the name and I'll upload it to the server within 30 minutes or so. If its the latest big goyslop movie it'll be up within 10 minutes.
I had the server for about 2 years now and after a month of using it we unsubbed from every streaming shit. Netflix has been utter dogshit for the past 5-6 years now.
Also the Nas Server is nice to just dump all of my porn onto it, aswell as a cloud storage for my photos.
I have it set so when I connect to my home wifi it start automatically backing up my photos on my phone.
The server is honestly the best purchase I've ever made. thank you for reading my blog
Exactly. I got fricking tired of Netflix having fricking nothing. >watch a movie review >"it's really good you should watch it" >search it on Netflix >it's not on Netflix >"guess ill have to remember to watch it someday" >never get the chance to watch it
Pirating got me to watch so many movies ill never get the chance to. Especially weird movies that aren't so good that I gave a chance. Like if I spent $20 on a movie that turned out to be utter dogshit ill be pissed. But it with piracy it's more of a "huh that was different"
damn, you must have shit taste
>bro, you just have to type this IP address and port into your browser, it's just a long number string, bro its easy

moron alert, you can access people's servers just by going to plex.tv
i've always heard that but whenever i try it just takes me to my own account. I feel like i'm not smart enough to use plex.
>I feel like i'm not smart enough to use plex.

so if I find a link to a plex share:173.70.124.188:32400/
i get pic related.
homie did you just give away your ip address
>173.70.124.188:32400
Arin? 40.5859 (lat) / -74.6832 (long) ?
this has got to be a troll. no one can be this dumb
Why doesn't she just cook, then you don't gotta wait
>women
>cook
>ding dong
Why didn't they translate what she said?
hehehe
my life sucks so much bro
I bet she is fun in bed in a very eager/hyperactive/wants to please kind of way.
Wait, this guy has a glass shelf full of ugly running shoes? What the frick.
>be a woman
>can’t cook
What use are they?
she seems like a fun girl to be around, until you want alone time
I've been asking for a cute asian gf for 10 years now. Where's my delivery??
bump
Ok man. If you ain't trolling you have to do what its asking......log in.
Oh yeah and just so you know, you just leaked your friends server. You can just log in right from plex.tv and look under shared libraries.

LMAO it’s going in the fricking trash after a day, are you out of your mind?
I dunno, my wife never threw the ones I gave her away.
It's probably just because of your horrible taste.
Post your library
Not him, but pic related. TV selection admittedly needs significant improvement and likely some pruning as well.
>She-Hulk Attorney At Law

I am not the only one who accesses my server, so I try to keep current with things folks want. In that case, it is my wife with the awful taste. I think she decided it was trash after the 2nd episode though. Like I said, need to do some pruning.

That it's not much of an excuse I grant you, anon.
we're all 34 and happily married
and earn six figures from STEM
40, happily married, and six figures from the humanities here.
>Dead Like Me
I thought i was the only one who remembered that show exists
Was pretty comfy all told. I still remember the scene where the boss guy was making pasta with a vodka sauce for the guy who delivered the list, but of course the list deliverer never showed up to share.
rewatched it a few weeks ago. the first time I saw it was before the film was made, dunno when exactly.

Nice
>given access to a personal plex library
>person who gave it to you snoops and judges everything you watch or doesn't watch
im about to start a plex and this is what i will do to my friends. if you watch something i dont approve of not only will i roast you but three strikes and you're banned from the server.
You are the one hosting shit you dumb frick
I was wondering why anons don't share with each other?
they do. a few years ago some anon added me to his (or her(?)) plez server and im still in. homie has mad kinos
Can't relate, my friends used mine so much that I had to stop letting them use it
Should have started a jellyfin server
thats them silently telling you all your media is shit, get better taste gay
Any Emby bros in here? Also using different private trackers with RSS feeds.
>using a plex port
Install Jellyfin
>ready for some kinos babe?
>Alright let me just plug this HDMI cable into my ThinkPad
>Now let me plug my power cord in. Don't want it to die in the middle of the movie hehe

>btw do you want to watch Your Name or Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero? I only watch anime and Japanese films
all sounds right to me, whats the matter ?
the kind of girl who wouldn't mind any of that is gonna be more fun in bed than the girl that gets icked by the niche interests you're unashamed of
That's what you think, but it's far more likely that she smells of stale period blood and shit.
This is how I imagine Cinemaphileirgins act in real life
I prefer jellyfin to plex, but I understand OP
If they have to do more than click Netflix it's too hard. You need to show them that they can select something hard to get right on their phone (using nzb360, lunasea and whatever the iPhone one is) and download it with the click (connects through your sonarr, radarr etc then into your torrent client or real debrid) You don't need to go into these gritty details but you'll need to do a bunch of hand holding to convince them it's worthwhile.
What's the point of Plex if it will transcode everything?
Why would I not just download a 4k REMUX of what I want to watch
It's been a decade and I still cant see why anyone bothers with plex
if you do it right it doesnt transcode
works on my Chromecast, only thing it has to transcode is eac3 audio
I all I have are remuxs, including. 138gb Lawrence of Arabia rip, and I never transcode. are you moronic by chance?
you got The Sting (1973) on your little server? if not, i wouldn't even bother
>the entertainer starts playing over credits
Kodi + Elementum is the new plex
how is a local media player equivalent to a streaming service
Kodi fricking sucks if you don't watch exclusively top 500 IMBD crap.
Literally half of the TV shows I have don't get recognized
frick off with your jAiLBrOkEN fire stick boomer
Kodi is old as hell. It started off life as XBMC. It also is just a glorified front end for video streaming sites, so niche content is often very hard to find. Its normie ass shit but if it works for you.
I don’t understand the psychology of “people” like OP. What motivates you?
Hosting a media server? Or sharing it with friends, or collecting files, or...? What part of him do you not understand?
All of the above.
>Collecting files

What do I need to host a Plex or Jellyfin server?
a computer
A computer
If you're serious about it, a i3 that does quicksync (the recent ones i think) for instant transcode
your media
plex or jellyfin, plex is easier, jelly requires far more troubleshooting and tinkering, plex just werks and has a big enough community to get your issues asked and fixed
Jellyfin just works too and has a large and more engaged community.
>gave my netflix account to this girl
>broke off with her
>she's still using it 1 year later
>skull emoji
I mean, I dont really mind. We split in good terms too
Imagine consciously putting an extra layer in between you and some files on your hard drive, and the layer needs a login and password lmao
you don't login on any device on the local network moron
Is this the fabled "kino" Cinemaphile loves to refer about?
Plex is fricking kino if you know how to use it and aren't fricking moronic

Exactly. I got fricking tired of Netflix having fricking nothing.
