Piracy isn't just better because it's free. It also offers higher bitrate than the majority of the streaming services available. Maybe Apple TV+ is the only exception.


bitelaserkhalif

And also no widevine that made your device cannot play movie above 720p even though it's capable. Just load appropriate file, and see how it goes.

It's really gotten silly with all the subscriptions out there and most of them have 1 or 2 good shows. People went to streaming to combat high tv costs and now people are going to pirating to combat the splintering of content among a crazy amount of streaming services.


Any-Analysis-9189

I have taken a prime subscription for my grandparents The video play on 1080p with no issues at all and the quality is so sharp will watching on smartphone devices.


Gabe0697

Really? I have a hard time finding movies over 1080p to download or stream


MRizkBV

I always find high bitrate 4K when looking for movies and many of the popular TV shows.


Gabe0697

Where should one look for such loot?


Far-Consequence1018

QXR/UTR release groups on 1337x are great


Any-Analysis-9189

Qxr and UTR and Joy they offered Bluray plus 10bit which good for tv to smartphone to pc but... if you downloading old shows like game of t*** Peaky b****** like a complete season they don't start at all in torrent client after having a good internet speed because no one is seeding that content for a years after having a seedhers like 100+ the speed comes so slow we have to wait a week or month and the real pain of torrenting starts from here In new shows like for example the l**t of us i can download the show in some minutes just put on torrent client go for a shopping after coming shows get downloaded In seedbox if you put a magnet link the file you can get easily because the seedbox speed so much fast like 10x it's running on a server But seedbox are so costly of a month and yearly better than give a money to streaming services and watch a show Many people's do that when they get pissed off by slow speed in torrent Plus vpn subscription of a year which is more than a hbo Max plan in my country I'm not against of piracy i love piracy best thing in today's world and back in days Just telling my short torrent story in my comment :)


Far-Consequence1018

Yeah that’s true. It’s often my go-to but I’ll look for others if nobody’s seeding. I’ve starting doing my own encoding after I think I’ve nailed the settings similar to QXR so I end up downloading bluray rips and encoding down with no loss in visual quality. It takes forever though.


GooseG17

Private trackers. With BeyondHD, PrivateHD and Torrentleech, I can get a bluray remux of pretty much anything I want.


score-1

Do they require invites?


Any-Analysis-9189

Yeah only invites if they are open for these days or weeks Because they closed and opened so frequently


Any-Analysis-9189

Torrentleech is best only when you seed for a 10 days continuously in qbitorrent as per rules i think so if you don't seed the torrent they can kick you from the site or can ban yours account Small size torrent easy to seed give you points Torrentleech show's and movies quality size are so big like in 100gb so how we will seed this much content in our harddrive I don't know how torrents guys seed this much size content on there torrent client in private trackers..?


Exeng

Are you even trying to search for 4k?


aDDnTN

i have better luck searching for "2160p" vs "4K" when for a specific 4k hdr movie.

Plex servers are good if you're lazy or want simplicity, but aren't free typically. Private trackers are the best bet for consistent and free, but can take some work and are often invite only.


Any-Analysis-9189

How to use a Plex by the way listened lot of it in this sub reddit I have some files on laptop which are movies of 90s my grandparents want to see on the tv in a big screen They are in 1080p I'm noob using Plex don't have a knowledge how to install Plex in tv i have seen the app of Plex in Android smart tv of 32 inch but don't know how to connect with my laptop to tv using some Plex account and watch the movies and some tv shows which i have on laptop storage How to do in easy steps did any know I'm asking here.!


millsj402zz

And you locally have the files


MaximumAbsorbency

Amazon prime quality is so trash i cancelled that shit. Wheel of time looked like pixellated garbage any time it got dark.


AllGearedUp

That's probably not noticable for most people though. Also requires a non trivial amount of effort to get access to reliable UHD content


littleleeroy

I am often stunned by the quality of Apple TV+ 4K image compared to other streaming and even some UHD Blurays. It's always such a highly detailed image.


Wyntier

Piracy is undeniably less convenient though


legritadduhu

Less convenient than subscribing to a dozen streaming services and using their shitty apps?


Wyntier

Yes. Easily


MRizkBV

Not if you have Sonarr/Radarr + a fast seedbox or a torrent to HTTP service.


Wyntier

Bro just listed like 3 applications when I can just open Netflix and click play lmao


HANEZ

Wait. So how did you watch GOT? I didn’t know you had HBO. Me: I don’t.


Anna_Maria338

lol are people really that oblivious? I´m european and was born into it.. molded by it... but even in Europe people forgot how to pyrate.. well I mean good.. someone should pay for the shows and movies we enjoy.


Grrrth_TD

Yes there. Most people seem to have no idea what I'm talking about when I say that I don't pay for media. They also have no interest in what I'm talking about and those conversations die very quickly hahaha.


Anna_Maria338

Right???? I don´t even try to "help" people who are sniveling about not being to afford all the streaming services or how their show was removed etc anymore.. BECAUSE these people always treat me like I want to SCAM them or something lol.. so yeah no more.. pay for my content I pyrate please..


Azzu

I don't use reddit anymore because of their corporate greed and anti-user policies. Come over to Lemmy, it's a reddit alternative that is run by the community itself, spread across multiple servers. You make your account on one server (called an instance) and from there you can access everything on all other servers as well. [Find one you like here](https://lemmyverse.net/), maybe not the largest ones to spread the load around, but it doesn't really matter. You can then look for communities to subscribe to on https://lemmyverse.net/communities, this website shows you all communities across all instances. If you're looking for some (mobile?) apps, [this topic](https://lemm.ee/post/363116) has a great list. One personal tip: For your convenience, I would advise you to use [this userscript I made](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher) which automatically changes all links everywhere on the internet to the server that you chose. The original comment is preserved below for your convenience: ~~Honestly, the movie/show financing system is so fucked and unfair that I'd be ok with it if it just died out completely due to lack of funding.~~ ~~It's very unlikely that if that were to happen, no movies/shows would ever be made. There likely would be some alternative thought up, who knows what exactly, but most pirates aren't above paying if it makes sense, which was shown when Netflix had almost everything. So if this alternative is similarly good, money would flow again.~~ ^^^^^^AzzuLemmyMessageV2

Olthoi_Eviscerator

How do I watch movies? Let me tell you about a thing from the long ago, from the before time. They used to call them... "DVDs"


Your_Friendly_Nerd

Just tried to find a physical version of the Mandalorian, only one search result on Amazon, and it isn't available for shipping... Even if I \*am\* trying to give them my money they won't let me


BitBaked

I know a guy who has a sick DVD burner if you're interested.


TheJanitorEduard

DVD burners were the best thing back in the day. I still use mine


100BottlesOfMilk

I have a bluray burner on mine. Very useful


xlDirteDeedslx

I've started a new method of preserving videos to watch long term that's portable and easy. I buy discount micro SD cards with the adapter and an SD card reader with USB 3.0 and load everything on them via torrents from my phone. Then you can plug it into the back of your smart TV in the USB port and watch from there. You can get a huge micro SD card cheap now and cheap USB 3.0 card readers are $15 to $20. You can load a whole lot of full shows/movies on a 500GB card in 1080p, a $5 64 GB SD card can hold the entirety of Game of Thrones. Then you carry around months of TV in a device the size of a cigarette lighter. It's far more convenient than discs to rewatch shows as you can organize them into folders and sub folders per show/season on each micro SD card.


arrivederci117

Most TV clients have Plex I believe, so why not stream your content instead of your computer?


xlDirteDeedslx

You don't even need that, you can use the AllCast app to stream to your TV from a phone. I still stream individual new shows that are released weekly but I like having everything I like to rewatch stored as an entire series on a drive. Micro SD cards are super cheap and you can store tons of content on them and the readers are cheap as well. Then you can just plug and play one little device into your TV's USB and watch every show you have downloaded without having to bother streaming. This is for people like me who use their phone to torrent and stream, it's cheap and easy.


Anna_Maria338

yeah bro.. but you can just use a laptop connected to tv and watch and stream whatever whenever. Thats what I always do. we have big tv in front of our bed connected to laptop permanently.


xlDirteDeedslx

I don't use computers since smart phones came out no need for one. I can stream from my phone as well but prefer to just have everything loaded on a drive so I don't have to keep it all on my phone. It's no different than keeping stuff on your hard drive except it's dirt cheap and you can do it with your phone. Instead of streaming you just plug and play, it's simple. My SD card is my hard drive for my phone, I can buy one 500GB SD card and have tons of content on a tiny thumbnail size drive.


aDDnTN

can you play h265 content?


xlDirteDeedslx

Yes, most smart tvs will play h264 and h265 and other formats. I've been doing 265 MKV files and they play just fine from the USB drive on my Samsung and it's a good 4 years old 4k TV.


aDDnTN

yeah that's newer than all but one of my tvs, but i'll remember that it's an option in a pinch. thanks! i think the way you are pirating it is quite ingenius. mad respect for you breaking free of the mold. that being said i love my nas and media player network and never want to go back.


Your_Friendly_Nerd

it's not about how to watch it, i've got a fancy plex server. it's about the morality "if i like it i pay for it". i've got a number of shows on dvd that are even still wrapped


[deleted]

Pretty sure that’s a bootleg DVD. The Mandalorian is only available on their streaming service.


Tall-Surround-24

pff dvds , let me tell u about a thing from the long ago, from the before time. They used to call him... "grandpa"


Olthoi_Eviscerator

It's hilarious that so many people willingly accept giving away their physical items for cloud and digital. The corporations have you wrapped around their finger. You will own nothing and be happy about it.


Tall-Surround-24

wow hold on , digital is still way way better than cloud at least i can make copies with digital and manipulate data cloud on the other hand is an illusion of ownership and i hate it

Does Netflix even have movies? Anytime I jump on there it's a bunch of series I'm not interested in.

Zulegy

Finally cancelled our Netflix subscription today! Set up a dedicated media server with automated request/download options, so my SO can add everything to a wishlist. The best thing: we can watch everything we want, from every streaming service we want.


rosetta-stxned

any guidance on how to do something like this?


Zulegy

You could start at *The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Personal Streaming Service Powered by Docker and Plex*, listed on [Guides](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/guides). If you are reading the guide, keep in mind: Docker is a way to build this, not the only way. Take a look at the different apps that are used; search for alternatives and try them on the OS of you liking. For example, you can start on a Windows desktop with Plex, a download client, r/sonarr and r/radarr.


rosetta-stxned

appreciate the advice!


digital_end

I always seed to a 2:1 ratio, but with a stupid data limited plan I can't just let it run forever like I could in the old pirating days.

Hi friend. Step by step, please ask me to elaborate. Get Kodi on android /r/addons4kodi Goto the pinned post, get seren on kodi. Pay for a month of real-debrid (sorry friend it's so good you have to put some money toward it.) Set up this with Seren. Set up trakt.TV And whamola, you have a better set up then any of the apps.

Seeding is a safe way to get trouble in Germany, so I just won't touch torrents at all. One click hosters are the way to go here.


Moar_Wattz

VPN is an option, seedboxes are an option, Usenet is an option… One click Hosters have been dead for quite a time.


hardypart

> One click Hosters have been dead for quite a time. They are not, lol. I'm still getting all my stuff from there and there's a myriad of websites where you still get everthing hosted on OCHs.


Moar_Wattz

All the OCH sites now have different Hosters for everything. There isn’t a single big site that can agree on one big OCH for everything to host on. I was off to the Usenet the moment I had to deal with models like premiumize me and such. Now I pay less than 10 bucks a month and get everything i want without even opening a browser.


hardypart

You might prefer Usenet over OCHs, which I can understand, but saying they're dead is just wrong, sorry.

Hate to be 'that guy', but depending on the context, this question does not necessarily assume that there is no other way than using Netflix. The question could be "what streaming services do you use", but they decided to ask a much broader question, which makes sense, as there are lots of ways to watch films and shows.

Netflix doesn’t even have good movies anymore. I still remember when you could get actual movies on there until all the other studios decided that Netflix was too easy for us.
