I really wish my wife would let me cancel this.
Build her a Plex server and install Radarr and Sonarr. It's quite special. You can even configure it to automatically download movies and shows when she favourites them on Plex.
Don't fall for the plex meme. It's a meme perpetuated by techbros who like to waste their time setting things up when there are other options already there. They do this because they want to feel superior to others by having some esoteric knowledge that actually isn't relevant.
My god. It's sad people like you actually give "advice" like this. It just shows me how disconnected techbros are from normal people. I feel bad for anyone who gets sent down a plex/radarr/sonarr rabbit hole when other options work better.
Just use a free streaming site.
You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/
Make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.
If you get stuck, try googling “free streaming sites reddit” and go from there.
Use your brain, not your wallet.
A big part of why I use Jellyfin to self host is because I want local, offline access to media. I can host it on my PC, which only took like 30 minutes for me to set up, and use the app to Chromecast it to my tv. That'd be a lot harder if I was streaming off shady streaming sites.
That's completely fine if you know why you are using it.
I also love having locally-saved media in case networks go down or streaming sites disappear.
Still, for people coming from Netflix, it doesn't make sense to recommend them self-hosting unless they specifically want to self-host. For most people, they don't see the value of self-hosting and directing them to such solutions just causes them to think it's either self-hosting or paid streaming.
