Hello everynyan,
So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay?
I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.
Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.
Things I’ve considered:
- Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
- SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then
Thanks, -shitass
Cheap android TV box running kodi. Media on usb hard drive.

You aren’t wrong. It is something to be careful of. Here’s one source

Best might be to go with a known brand, get a Raspberry Pi, get something like the Intel Nuc if you want something more capable and a wireless keyboard to go with it.
Don’t buy those boxes, they’re a ripoff at best and funding real crime at worst.
Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I’m about to buy an Android box.

Is there some cheap android device conspiracy I should be aware of?
