hell, I’m across the country at my parent’s place and got them a movie by remoting into my home pc to start a torrent and had it populatred in my Plex server and streaming at full bluray quality 4k hdr in less time that it took for them to get popcorn ready.
they never even knew that i had to do any of that. i just told them “yeah, I’ll get that set up while you get snacks”
Now imagine you have a family that likes to watch TV in the living room and not in your room.
So you download the movie to your Plex or Jellyfin server and watch it in living room. I do exactly this all the time.
“download this app, create an account, I’ll add you as a friend, off you go”
It’s literally as easy as Netflix in that scenario.
I’m curious to hear more about this. What’s the app?
Plex
Jellyfin for the win!

Lol that hasn’t been an issue for at least a decade.
