    It’s really ironic that DRM on Netflix restricts Linux viewers to 480p. Why would anyone bother fighting with DRM when just pirating it gives you a 4K version that actually works?

      Stremio + a debrid service works for just about anything mainstream enough to be on Netflix, is super cheap, and is very easy to set up. It’s a no-brainer.

      We still use Netflix on my kiddos’ tablets since Netflix Kids has easy browsing of a curated library. Plus some of the more obscure kids’ shows aren’t always pre-cached on the debrid service and kiddos aren’t independently able to load content for the debris service to download for them.

      I’d like to set up a local *arr stack on a home media server, but I haven’t gotten around to it. (Partly because I want to do it “right” and have 3+ identical HDDs to set up a RAID with a backup drive, but that’s pricey.)
