Using makemkv and handbrake for plex7/8/2023 I'm glad I've gone down this path, and become more intentional about my media consumption, especially as companies are deleting already-purchased content from users' media libraries! It's sickening (and, IMHO, should be illegal) they can show a 'buy' button for a DRM'ed digital downloads that the user never actually 'owns'. I wasn't thrilled with the open source / governance structure of Plex, so I've been a using Jellyfin. They're not alone.Ī few years ago, I got serious about consolidating the media my family consumes I decided to buy blu-ray and DVD copies of all the movies and TV shows we actually cared about, and rip them onto a NAS. And streaming services are doing the same, but with even lower quality, if that's possible: Amazon Prime is churning out show after show with no real plot and zero production value. If this story is true, even Apple is planning on shoving ads down users throats, and will likely upcharge for the 'ad-free experience.'įor all its warts, at least YouTube hasn't threatened ads for its Premium subscription yet.Ĭable companies started churning out cheap reality TV shows in the late 00's. In the midst of all the other services raising their rates and shoveling ads in users faces, I thought Apple TV+ might be the lone holdout.
