popcorn time

Nothing legal anyways. Film companies force really draconian DRM over Netflix and such. Otherwise they wouldn't license their content.

>>895772 (OP)

torrents, IPFS.

Just torrent animu

there are some good kodi plugins my family uses. can't remember what they are called, a quick search and you should find a whole lot of information on the subject.

>>895772 (OP)

Kodi with streaming addons. Reddit unironically has a good list they keep updated.

You're not even trying.

Use emby instead. The server is GPL.

Nice try

>>896015

Not to mention it's written in C#. That's like gluten-free wheat. I honestly don't understand why people bitch about streaming. I literally just use ssh, and it works fine.

>>896015

>>896018

Know of anything better? I have an autistic amount of media that I want organized and ssh/nfs doesn't really cut it.

OP, are you a massive faggot or a massive faggot?????????????????????

Was already named.

>>895921

If you're a lazy faggot who doesn't just stash everything in folders on a NAS and uses electrical jews, you can use Kodi(formerly XBMC)

>>896025

>>896021

https://kodi.tv/

>>896027

The main problem with kodi is that things like metadata and watched status is confined to the local device instead of the server, so I can't start a series on my TV then go to the desktop and have it keep where I left off. Also emby can transcode files in real time which is nice for streaming outside my LAN.

these things with kodi add-ons, but from what I've seen nothing exists

>>896015

>build scripts also being proprietary

They are violating the GPL if you need the build scripts to build the program.

>>896033 (checked)

This is a meta problems arising from using an electrical jew in the first list.

**I keep watch lists in a spreadsheet and watch everything with VLC.

Confining watched states to a format/program is a shit idea because every program keeps own metadata records.

If you're a normie who owns a phone just write them down there. It's not that hard.**

>>896034

They don't claim to use GPL in the first place.

Only SOME of the source code files are GPL.

I'm not an expert on this. Is that disallowed?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License

>Point of view

Apparently no one knows.

>>896034

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/3075

There's a few more issues and forum posts to the devs about this. There's a small group of autists actively trying to keep the project from going proprietary and it seems to be getting response from the devs. too bad they're also flooded with idiots asking retarded questions

Here's a javashit UPNP server, there's probably better ways though

>>896042

>that thread

I hate proprietary fags who write simple C# bullshit and act as if it's software that's SO important they can violate the initial license.

Torrent. Stop using centralized services for streaming. It weakens the purpose of the Internet and concentrates the power in the hands of a few.

>>895772 (OP)

If you mean something normie friendly, >>895774 popcorn time is what they're looking for. If you don't mind having the files on you own computer (in case internet goes down) just use a bittorrent client + bittorrent site + mpv/vlc

>>896040

If they include GPL'd files they must follow the terms of the GPL, and the project as a whole must be covered under the GPL although it's legal for all the other files to be under other GPL-compatible licenses.

>>896042

Look at all this handwaiving:

<To answer your questions and concerns, we embed ffmpeg as a standalone executable, which the GPL permits us to do. There are several GPL libraries contained in this ffmpeg build, but there is no Emby code linking directly to any of them, it is simply invoked as a standalone process, which the GPL permits.

<We are required to disclose the sources of this standalone ffmpeg executable and that's what we've been working on. If you look at the beta packages there is a new licenses sub-folder, and inside you will find a list of all libraries used, the license for each one, and the version that was used. This is where we will also state any modifications to these libraries, there are none, but in the event there ever are any, that's where you will find them.

What does this mean?

>>896708

Linux is vulnerable to malware too, especially if you executed it through super user.

>>896659

No (the official vetrsion)

>>896795

>>896815

Well the main thing is source-code compiling

>>896819

You can use proprietary (closed source) software on Linux.

You can compile malware from source.

Yes. Go to the cinema like a normal human being.

Or pirate your shit, whatever.

>>897033

This. Go to the cinema once in a while with your friends to support the industry and have a good time, anon, that's what matters in life!, the rest of the time torrent everything.

good luck in your op

i'm sure you'll trap many fags

People talk it up because their lives are so empty of meaning. The reality is it's even shittier than not doing it.

A Bittorrent client + a media player

Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed starting in 1991. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.

>>907097

GNU is just a bunch of binutils. They do not compose an operating system itself. You can't boot up GNU. You can boot linux without GNU though. Linux is the operating system. End.

>>907100

You can't operate your system with Linux though. All you get is "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg"

>>907118

That wasn't their argument. They never said that you can boot linux without an init, they said that it would be possible to boot linux without gnu utils.

>>907100

GNU is a LOT more than "a bunch of binutils".

>>907129

and I said it would be pointless since Linux alone doesn't let you do anything of use.

>>907132

They said without GNU utils, not without any utils.

You're trackable without a proxy who most likely records logs. Torrenting over TOR as well is unsafe. IPFS is also in beta and not good for privacy, yet.

>>907346

better than letting the right wing government know you're a faggot who uses netflix

>Torrenting over TOR

>udp over tcp

yes.

oh wait what you really mean is

When did Stallman start using /tech/

>>907346

yeah, but nobody gives a shit if you're only torrenting stuff that's actually worth watching

The Alternative is find a friend that will share an account with you. Or be like me and don't pay for it.

>>907346

>You're trackable without a proxy who most likely records logs. Torrenting over TOR as well is unsafe. IPFS is also in beta and not good for privacy, yet.

It's not unsafe.

Just run Whonix Gateway & Workstation. Install torrent client on Whonix Workstation and download torrents.

UDP is not necessary for torrents. Most trackers are UDP but you can find a lot of HTTP trackers.

After you download files you can move them from virtual machine to your host machine if you want.

I downloaded a lot of child pornography and US government leaks using that setup.
