So I finally cancelled it. Between budgeting, Cuties, and the fact that it seems all their new shows have to check off “diversity checklist” points. At least Amazon prime has political documentaries from various points of view. When they asked why I cancelled I said they need to realize that not everyone is on the left or wants to see talking points in everything they watch.
I found crackle, Pluto, and vudu and they have lots of free stuff. Also got Hulu and Amazon.
Do you connect to the media box remotely or just at home? It seems like the OVPN side needs some ports filtered. Raspi can handle the encryption?
Does sonarr or any of this have ads? I would recommend some sort of blacklist with local DNS in that case.
just at home, i dont like it being open to everyone. but you could ofc make it accessible over the internet aswell.
i'm using a raspberry 4 for all the harddrives, database and torrenting and have the tv-setup with 2 tvcards on an older raspberry 3. never had any performance issues, even downclocked both of them.
sonarr is simply a webgui that you tell what series you want. it then looks through torrent sites and automatically adds them to your torrent client, copies them where you want, sorts them etc.
