Now normally I would just setup radarr, sonarr and the like on a seedbox or something if I were looking for a setup for myself, but my friends and family members can’t handle something like that. Stremio with torrent addons offers a user friendly netflix-like experience but its not entirely opensource and I can’t self host it.
Jellyfin seems to be a popular suggestion for user friendly software with a netflix-like interface but from what I can tell, there isn’t automatic torrenting to match the convenience of stremio.
If a family member has to open a webpage or an app to pick out content, then wait for it to download fully, then open up the jellyfin UI to watch content, that might be too complicated for some of my elderly family members to achieve.
Is there an open source/self-hosting torrent/piracy solution that is comparable to stremio in regards to being boomer friendly? Thanks for your comments.
I understand the need to not become a glorify bot !
I see my jellyfin server as a sort of curated library to allows other people to discover content they wouldn’t have access otherwise. But it’s not a replacement for a commercial streaming service.
The issues with settings up other people computer is that you become the de facto technician. And that’s something I hate.
