      I feel that paying for services with limited selection and ads is a moronic proposition

    Why ask for what shows/movies to include? Why not just get what you like?

      because I want to have a huge selection of lesser known stuff. If I'd just take what I like, I'd have 50 movies and 3 shows that I'll never watch again. I want some variety

    Need a software with a Netflix like UI (or better if we can be honest) that runs off an external HDD offline without an installation.

      do you connect the hdd to your tv/laptop or do you want to go over network?

        I connect it to a PC which is connected to a TV/projector but I wanna be able to take it to someone else's house. Thus it needs to run off the HDD without having to install software to their PC or use network features. If there are optional network features like for grabbing meta data that's fine but I just need an offline movie file organizer with tags and posters.

          I'd look into portable kodi. The default skin sucks but you can get it to look somewhat decent with some other skin. It should grab metadata and images when it's connected.
          You would store the binaries and media database on the same disk, then just plug it in and run the binary. I don't know it this would work across different OS though

            Looking for a dedicated software. Looking at the wiki I still need to install Kodi and not just run it on the drive it's on.

              the kodi wiki implies that you install it once (on your removable media), then create a shortcut with the -p flag and you're done

                Yeah but won't that shortcut redirect to the drive it's originally set to? Like if I have drives C, D, E, and I install it on F, the the shortcut will go to F. But if I take the drive to a PC that only has C, the shortcut is now broken because there's no F drive.

                install kodi in a folder on you usb hdd (e.g. F:kodi), then create a batch file on the top level of your usb hdd that points to the binary inside the kodi folder. This should work without specifying the the drive letter

                How about I just find a software where I double click it and it runs without gay work arounds?

      I my drive by decade, but also want it by year and then alphabetically because you can always just search for a movie title.

      it's a collection view, the file system is organized into decades, then folders with sorted genres
