Streaming costs are rising, and there are more platforms than ever to choose between. Some people are going back to piracy (www.abc.net.au)

The only problem is that I can’t convince my friends/roommates to embrace the media center piracy box. Literally the smallest level of extra work is too much. I’m not sure how to make it easier

Wife acceptance factor. This is Lemmy though so it's probably significant other acceptance factor here.

What's a media center piracy box and how to setup one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'd imagine it's a more generic term for a small PC (or maybe an Android TV box) running something like Kodi (home media centre program), and Kodi would have access to a drive (usually a network drive) full of pirated MP4s or whatever. I'm sure there's even more elegant solutions out there, but you get the gist.
