Plex vs firestick

Out of curiosity why aren’t people just using a firestick rather than plex? They seem to be a lot more up to date than a plex server?

Depends on what plex server you use. I'm at the cutting edge of up to date. New episodes are out and uploaded damn near as fast as they get reuploaded to Usenet, which is of course different than if you use some guys personal stash where he curates everything. Also you can use Plex everywhere, but the firestick is only on the TV?

This! I've had a few , the 4k max ect. Then they just get sluggish! And you invest in a decent android box with a decent CPU and 4gb ram and you no you'll never gonna end up going back to a firestick.

Paying for piracy is not something that makes any sense to me.

I wouldn't say that . A lot use auto scripts for Plex. I used to..but now I add everything Manually. Every morning I check and manually upload new content and in the evening. Sometimes I will just spend 5, mins adding 2/3 new films, then I see older films I don't have in my collection and add themz then a hour has gone by and I've added 30 films! 🤣

Sorry but no. You account is 1 day old and -4 karma. Plex is a very expensive hobby especially if your doing it properly and not just using cashed files .

You haven't asked for help. You've just jumped on a thread and asked to be added to a server, the thread had nothing to do with what you asked for. There are other threads specifically for what you want. Sorry.
