If anybody is interested: an old workstation/server costs about 100€, a 2TB external Hdd 50€, that’s about all you need to self-host your Netflix.
to proceed flash a Linux distro of your choice (I recommend Debian 12 stable) follow a tutorial on YT on how to install it, it’s very simple.
Download and configure jellyfin. Open the 8096/8099 port on your router.
If you live in a country where downloading “Linux ISOs” is frowned upon, be sure to use a VPN while downloading the latest Linux Mint release for your jellyfin server.
Load those fancy new kali Linux live CDs on your jellyfin servers, download clients for all your devices and enjoy!
Guides for everything I said can be found online, expecially on YouTube.
Just to add: jellyfin is free and open source: you know it does not spy on you and it does not build a profile on you to then sell your data to ad companies, a huge plus if you ask me.
Real-Debrid is one of Debrid services. To summary what Debrid services does is that it downloads the file for you.
You know Mega ? You know hexashare? All the file host service that limit your download with very low speed and only allow you to download only 1 file every hours or so without paying 10 USD for a premium account? Real-debrid bypasses most of them.
First real-debrid will use their own premium account to download the file for you (completely legal) to their server with their ultra-high speed. It’s only take a second for them to download 100GB. And they will share the file to you so you can download it to your computer so there is no previous mentioned restriction. Think of Real-Debrid like a middleman, multi-purpose middleman because Real-Debrid supports multiple host such as Mediafire, FileFactory, RapidGator, so on. So instead of paying every website 10 USD for a premium account, you can just pay 5 USD for Read-Debrid account and use it to download files on almost every popular file host website.
Moreover, Real-Debrid also supports download Torrent (without seeding back). With their high-speed download, you can watch movie via torrent seamlessly. That’s why most buy Real-Debrid just to watch movie using both Real-Debrid and Stremio.
Does it give u an error like “media not supported by client” or something like that? If so - I’m not an expert- but you may need to enable video transcoding of smthing like that
nah it just has a black screen and wont play, no loading icon or anything. video says its being played from the admin panel, i googled it and other people are having issues with it, almost 2 months old and hasnt been fixed yet, luckily you can still play videos if you use infuse but that client isnt open source
I don’t know if it’s a r/whoooosh, but “Linux ISOs” is a way to refer to pirated content. You download movies, music, shows etc and then put it on your jellyfin server. It comes from the fact that downloading Linux ISOs is pretty much the only legal use case for a bit torrent client

I personally use Kodi with Seren and a Real Debrid sub(£15 for 6 months is great) .It’s basically Netflix but has pretty much everything.
Really want to get into real debrid, can you ELI5 it to me?

I like OpenMediaVault (based on Debian) with a few docker images… really helps :)

Why would it be “frowned upon” to download Linux ISOs in any country? There’s nothing illegal about it
